A familiar logo will be on the Pittsburgh Penguins helmets this upcoming season.
The Penguins announced Wednesday that the United States Steel Corporation logo will be on all of the team’s helmets.
Fans will see the helmets for the first time when the Penguins take the ice for a preseason game on September 21 against the Buffalo Sabres at PPG Paints Arena.
“U. S. Steel is an iconic Pittsburgh brand that shares so many values with our organization – hard work, resiliency, dedication and pride for the City of Pittsburgh – and we are honored to add their logo to our helmets this season,” said Geoff Hoffmann, Chairman and Governor of the Pittsburgh Penguins. “This extension of our partnership is a testament to their local commitment and provides global exposure of a Pittsburgh mainstay to millions of our fans around the world.”
"Steel built Pittsburgh, and the Penguins helped define its spirit,” said David Burritt, U. S. Steel President and Chief Executive Officer. “For generations, both organizations have represented hard work, resilience, and pride in our city. We're proud to place the U. S. Steel name alongside one of hockey's most respected franchises as we continue investing in safer operations, stronger communities, and a brighter future for the region we call home."
