Overview
During the 2025-26 season the media narrative surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins was predominantly negative, with claims that the team would not make playoffs. However, when the team secured the second seed playoff spot in the Metro division the script was flipped. Inspired by this, a bold new creative identity was established to compliment the team’s defiant attitude toward the outside noise.
