For the second consecutive season, the Penguins wore adidas ADIZERO jerseys - a style and cut that was introduced at the beginning of the 2017-18 NHL season. The style was designed to take the hockey uniform and jersey silhouette to the next level by redefining the fit, feel, and construction of the jersey. The jerseys feature unique cresting materials and construction technology, adidas Clima® technology to deliver breathability and enhanced performance, and stronger threads and fabrics for durability.
The adidas logo was featured on the back neckline with a white logo embroidered onto black twill on the Home (black) jerseys and a black logo embroidered onto white twill on the Road (white) jerseys. The inside neckline of each jersey features "Made in Canada" in three languages (English, French and Spanish), the adidas logo, and the jersey's numerical size in three languages screened on. Inside the left side seam is a manufacturer's washing instructions tag.
Jerseys were lettered and numbered by Pro Knitwear of Pittsburgh, PA. Each jersey featured a set tag sewn inside the rear hem.

Third Jersey Set
|
|
The Penguins unveiled their new "third" jerseys on October 9, 2018 and will be worn for 12 games during the 2018-19 NHL season debuting on November 15, 2018 vs. Tampa Bay at PPG Paints Arena. The new design incorporates elements from the popular 2017 Stadium Series uniform while acknowledging the heritage of gold jerseys worn by Mario Lemieux and the Penguins in the 1980s.
From adidas:
"Creating a signature look for these new thirds, the crest spotlights the standalone skating penguin on a single-toned gold sweater. Mixing the past with the present, the contrasting black sleeves are highlighted with white and gold striping that are inspired from the Penguins' 1984 jerseys, while the letters and numbering mirror the current home and away jerseys. Additional design details include the sleeve numbers being raised to the shoulder of the jersey to mimic the 1980s look."
