RICHMOND, Va. -- I had a baseball strip all written out to draw up this week, but when I read Taylor Haase’s excellent piece from Montréal on the possibility of the Penguins wearing throwback uniforms based on the Pittsburgh Pirates’ look from 1925 in the upcoming Winter Classic at Fenway Park on Thursday night, I decided to pivot and work up a cartoon that focused on the very first game for our city’s first NHL team.
I’ve always dug the quirky, flashy sweaters that that short-lived squad wore on the ice, and should the Penguins decide to go with something similar in January, I suspect I’ll be among the many plunking down a little Christmas cash to own one!
