Published on September 4, 2007 under American Hockey League (AHL) News Release
WILKES-BARRE, PA - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins' new 2007-2008 uniforms, as well as their alternate home sweater, will be on display at the Penguins Team Store beginning at 1:00pm on Wednesday, September 5.
The Penguins, along with all 28 other American Hockey League clubs, will utilize the Rbk EDGE Uniform System for their home and away jerseys. Featuring technologically advanced materials and fabrics that are more breathable and more resistant to water absorption and that offer greater range of movement, the Rbk EDGE Uniform System provides comfort and improved compatibility with equipment while helping to enhance player performance. Highlights include:
- Four lighter fabrics incorporated in the jersey, pants and socks to keep players drier while also adding increased durability to the uniform
- The jerseys' stretch fabric in the collar features Rbk's innovative Playdry⢠moisture management technology to maximize comfort, breathability and temperature control
- The stretch mesh in areas including the underarms and back provides additional range of motion and increased ventilation
- 4Way Stretch Pique features Rbk's latest innovation, Bead Away⢠water repellent technology, offering freedom of movement while retaining 76 percent less moisture than current AHL jerseys
- X-trafil is incorporated into high-abrasion areas such as the shoulders and elbows to provide increased durability
The Penguins' alternate uniform will feature a more traditional fit, and will again honor a professional team from the past, in this case, the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets.
All three sweaters will be on display in the Penguins' Team Store (670 North River Street), starting at 1:00pm on Wednesday. Penguins Team President Rich Hixon will be available between 1:00pm and 4:00pm to discuss the new uniforms.
The Penguins open their ninth regular season on Wednesday, October 3 against the Hershey Bears at the Wachovia Arena at Casey Plaza. Season ticket packages, mini-plans and flex-books for the 2007-2008 season are on sale now, and available by contacting the Penguins' ticketing office at 570-208-7367.
