After a four-year absence from Penguins jerseys, CCM returned as the Penguins' official supplier of on-ice jerseys for the 2000-01 season. With CCM's sister-brand, KOHO, featured on the Road (black) and Alternate (black) jerseys, the Air-Knit jerseys featured the winged-Penguin logo sewn on the front with pointed 3-color shoulders on the Home (white) jerseys and a pointed grey accent with thin grey stripes on the Road (black) jerseys. The Penguins' Home (white) jerseys featured the CCM brand logo on the back neckline.
At a press conference on September 5, 2000, Penguins owner Mario Lemieux unveiled and modeled the teams' new black alternate jerseys. The design, featuring diagonal stripes on the sleeves and lower sides, incorporated a new color for the franchise - Vegas Gold. The skating Penguin logo paid homage to logo worn by the 1992 Stanley Cup championship team. The Road (black) jerseys and Alternate (black) jerseys were branded with the KOHO logo on the back neckline.
The Penguins opened the 2000-01 regular season in Tokyo, Japan taking on the Nashville Predators in back-to-back games at Saitama Super Arena. To commemorate the Game ONe Japan event, both the Penguins and Predators wore a patch on the right chest of their jerseys. In the opening game on October 7, 2000, the Penguins wore their Home (white) jerseys and the following night on October 8, 2000, they wore their Road (black) jerseys.
The inside neckline of each jersey featured various forms of manufacturer tagging. On the Home (white) CCM branded jerseys, a CCM or Canada flag tag was sewn in the middle of the neck with an adjacent size fly tag sewn in the collar to the left of the manufacturer's tag. On the Road (black) KOHO branded jerseys, the manufacturer's tag was likely cut to exclude the CCM logo resulting in a much shorter manufacturer's tag than their Home (white) counterparts. Some Road (black) and Altnernate (black) jerseys feature the full size manufacturer's tag with the Canadian flag logo.
