Collection 27: So Long, Pittsburgh
/I'll be honest. Despite my rabid Tampa Bay Lightning fandom, I wasn't sure we could take the Pens. But as our conference quarterfinal series proved, the Bolts are progressing a lot faster than we might've thought. So in honor of my readers who call themselves Pittsburgh Penguins fans, this one's for you.

This may seem like salt in the wound considering how much most of you just hate love the '90s logo you've nicknamed the "Robo-Penguin" — and you know, that whole era in general. But this is what our artists are coming up with these days.

Again, perhaps traditional Penguins fans would be turned off by most of these designs, but I like the way they each borrows from the past while mixing with the present. That's all for today as my team prepares for the Caps and I contemplate new ways of rubbing it in with concept art. (Kidding!)
