Men's Mario Lemieux Pittsburgh Penguins 1996/97 Throwback Jersey - Black

From pre-season friendlies to the final day of the campaign, Pittsburgh Penguins fans wear the same thing in spirit. This jersey turns that into something you can actually put on. Quick answer: a custom Pittsburgh Penguins jersey - any name and number - throwback build, 1996/97.

What you get

  • A throwback look in a wash-and-wear knit
  • Era-accurate colourway matched to the original design

Throwback reissue detail

This is a throwback reissue: the colourway, crest and cut revive an earlier era of the club's shirt rather than the current campaign.

Colour that lasts

Dyeing is done so the tone stays true after repeat washes.

Finishing detail

Single-needle stitching at the seams, a ribbed neckline that keeps its shape, and a hem that stays flat after washing.

Fan version vs on-field version

  • Fan version: softer knit, roomier fit, lower price.
  • On-field version: closer cut, firmer fabric, premium price.
  • Team colours and crest are the same on both.

Version, sizing and what you are buying

What you are buying is the throwback cut, which is what most supporters actually want. Same look as the on-field shirt, softer hand-feel, roomier fit, and easier to live in week to week.

Sizing runs true to a standard athletic cut for supporters. If you are between sizes, or you want room for layering, take the next size up.

Frequently asked questions

Is this current season or a throwback design?

It is a throwback reissue. The design revives an earlier era of the club's kit rather than the current campaign.

What does it look like in person?

Close to the photographs. The colour is matched to the team palette and the finish is matte rather than shiny.

Will the colours fade?

No, not with normal washing. Cold water and a low tumble dry protect both the colour and the shape.

What size should I get for a child?

Take their normal age size. If they are between sizes, go up - youth cuts run slightly slim.

WHAT REALLY MAKES OUR THREADS UNBEATABLE?​​

We don’t chase thread counts. Not because they don’t matter—but because true quality goes far beyond threads per square inch. Here’s what we prioritize instead:
  • ​Finest Organic Materials: We start with the purest, ethically sourced organic cotton, silk, or linen—fibers chosen for their strength, softness, and ability to age gracefully. No shortcuts, no compromises.
  • ​Meticulous Weaving: Every thread is woven with care, using time-honored techniques that preserve the integrity of the fabric. No rough edges, no fraying—just smooth, durable construction.
  • ​Gentle Finishing: Harsh chemicals? Never. We use plant-based dyes, natural softeners, and low-impact processes to finish our threads, ensuring they stay breathable, hypoallergenic, and kind to your skin.
