The Penguins and Flyers already have retro based jerseys. Both franchises only came about in the late 60s, and the current jerseys are pretty close to those. Given them word marks to make their jerseys look old timey is dumb. Those teams didn't exist in that old time.
If they want to go off the board with a retro jersey, they should make a tribute to a previous franchise in those cities, like the Pirates or Quakers. Would actually add to the rivalry, as the Pirates were moved from Pittsburgh to Philly to become the Quakers.
