Hi r/penguins
I wanted to do this giveaway for a Crosby home authentic pro adidas jersey. This is the 2021-2022 prime green model.
Size is 50m
I wore this one time to a penguins game and haven’t worn it since. It’s been in storage, but in light of the new season, I’d love to give it away!!!
I’ll only ask the winner to cover shipping.
How do you win? Just drop a comment below. Could be your favorite penguins memory, a funny Pittsburgh story, something good that’s happened to you recently, anything!
I’ll randomly select a winner tomorrow at 7 P.M. EST. Once I have someone selected and they confirm they want it and can cover shipping, I’ll ask the mods to close this post!
Good luck everyone!! Go Pens!!!

Going to a game soon and would love a Jersey to wear to it! Thanks for the giveaway
definitely will put my ticket in for this one
I don’t have any NHL merch due to me living in Turkey… Always tried my best to watch all matches and tried to create good memories with it. Sidney is one of my fav sportsman in general! Thank you so much for your kindness dude!
Let’s do this!
Favorite memory.. that may have to be yesterday! I pulled out my son’s Crosby jersey for him to wear for the game and he was ecstatic to wear it!
I just stopped to say you spelled Sidney wrong.
👄
Sidney
LGP!! Would be honored to win this 🙂
Wow that’s super generous of you! Btw love the donut painting in the background!
Hey believe it or not but today is my birthday I just turned 19 and would love to have this jersey
Hi
My girlfriend bought tickets to go to a game together for Christmas last year. We stayed in Pittsburgh for a couple days and the game was awesome (pens v lightning in the 5-4 awesome win) and that’s one of my favorite memories to date!
Hi, I like free things
nice gesture sir!
Count me in! 🙂
My very first Penguins game, I was a row in front of a bunch of kids. They were absolutely going ham, but their keeper/mother kept trying to hush them.
So I told them “We’re real high up! You gotta yell REALLY LOUD so Sid can hear you and score!”
So I got like ten kids screeching at the top of their lungs “LET’S GO PENS” after I’d make a honking noise. Eventually got my section going.
Sid scored as we were doing that. Amazingly, the kids got even louder! It was great.
In Sidney we trust!
I recently witnessed a friend of mine get belligerently drunk and then cry thinking about Sid retiring
LGP, no matter what 🏒 thanks for your generosity.
Best memory is definitely going to Jagrs jersey retirement game
My wife and I moved to PGH and hit our first Pens game earlier this year – Pens/Flyers. Pens took it 7-6, absolute lamp lighter and one hell of a first experience:)
That’s awesome of you.
Taking my husband to his first game on our anniversary, Oct 31st!
Hope to make him a hockey fan yet.
LGP!
I was on the news a few years ago because a car ran into my house and was left on my property for 3.5 weeks because of insurance. Really sucked at the time but now I get a chuckle out of it.
Crosby is the greatest ambassador for the game
Love our Canadian boy Sidney!! 🇨🇦
Let’s go Pens 💛🖤🐧
This is cool, submitting my admission!
Here’s my story
I married into a life long Flyers family. My Father in Law (before he passed) was the LITERAL poster boy for Flyer season ticket holder (he was on all the photos around the stadium for season tickets). Flyer season tickets were in his family since BEFORE the Flyers were brought into the NHL.
My wife and I got married in April 2008. Our marriage survived the ECF the next month, but in the following year, my wife got us tickets to the April 25, 2009 Pens/Flyers game. This game is the legendary Max Talbot “Ssshh” game. During the first intermission, Pens were down 2-0. I went to the bathroom and was wearing my Crosby Jersey. While peeing, someone threw a beer on me. I was mid-stream so there is no stopping. Then the 2nd one got me. I’m now soaked to the bone. So I say “Is that all you p****s got?” Next thing I know the bathroom becomes a beer fountain and I bet easily $200-300 worth of beer was thrown. Nobody left that bathroom dry. I walked to meet my in-laws and wife at the bar, and they were like WTF happened. I explained it and laughed it off. My FiL loved giving me shit, but he wouldn’t stand for the Flyer behavior that gives their fans a bad name (at least when it was directed to me).
My wife got to see a Flyer fan scream directly into my ear”Crosby is a f*g” at me for at least 10 sections while walking around the stadium. This was in the lower bowl.
Then Max Talbot fought…. Then Pens over came a 3-0 deficit on the road to win the series 5-3.
If this story gets selected, please give the jersey to someone else. I’ve done well for myself and would rather someone who loves the pens and can’t afford a jersey get it.
Consider this my entry.
One of my favorite memories was from a game I went to against the capitals in 2008/2009. We were on the PK, and I think it was either Talbot or Kunitz that cleared the puck, but they cleared it too well and it sailed over the boards on the opposite end of the ice, resulting in a delay of game penalty.
Traveling to Pittsburgh this December to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with my wife and watch the pens take on the leafs!
Nice lookin jersey. Been to 2 penguins games since it’s a 5 hour drive for me. One where we beat NYR 7-2 in the playoffs and the most recent was last season when Letang scored the OT winning goal against the Avs to win 2-1. It was 1-0 that whole game up until a goal with like a minute left for us to force OT.
I would like to give my least favorite recent penguins memory, which is last night
My earliest memories of the Penguins are my uncle taking me to Mellon Arena for games when I was 8-14 years old. He had two season tickets and would take me to 5-10 games a year. It was always magical walking in to the arena as a kid.
I too would like to be in consideration for this give away
Count me in, let’s go pens!
Oh man I’d love to gift this to my best friend who just had his first baby. I’m going to go outside the box for my favorite Penguins memory. Obviously the Cups are great, but I was at game 6 of the first round of the playoffs in 1998 when Jagr played hero to bring us back from the brink to beat the 1 seed Devils. I was like 10, Jagr was my favorite player, and the crowd was incredible. Just so much fun.
20 years and we cant get his name right lol
Happy to cover international shipping 😁
Go Pens! Favourite memory: Crosby’s first Cup in ‘09
Fingers crossed! #LetsGoPens
My favorite pens memory was going to my first game with a friend (finally old enough to not go with an adult). It was free hat night, at the old Mellon arena. Sid, of course scored a hat trick. There was a constant wave of hats being thrown, for over 10 minutes. If you were too far away to make it to the ice, you threw it anyway and the person that it landed on threw it again, and again, and again; until it made it to the ice. Weirdly beautiful and awesome to see. It’s a core memory of my childhood and I’ll never forget it.
Lets Go Pens but Sidney is the name not Sydney
My wife, kid, and I were once photographed in Dallas at the Stars vs. Pens game and the photo was later used in an episode of Pens Trends!
