Snoop Dogg will almost certainly provide some hilarious takes, but hopefully this is only the first step.

I’m also optimistic that EA Sports can continue to improve on their broadcasting package now that they’re free from the NBC shackles. Still, I will admit that having Snoop do some commentary is better than the next, “Get pucks in deep” guy currently sitting on hockey panels across North America. Campbell, on the other hand, has more gold medals than most hockey players have teeth. Kendall Coyne, you might recall, had an incredible showing at the NHL All-Star event in 2019, making headlines worldwide. Instead of cashing in on the Snoop gimmick, what about Kendall Coyne or Cassie Campbell, two women with experience and knowledge at the highest levels? They’ve both worked NHL broadcasts, too. What I would have preferred to see happen, though, is for EA Sports to add diversity as well as expertise about hockey. Now that they're free from NBC, EA Sports can do far more with their broadcast package. If you are a hockey fan who follows the news, the actions and words of men such as Don Cherry, Mike Babcock, and Bill Peters have exposed just how toxic hockey culture can be. The upside here is that hockey in general, real or video game, needs a healthy injection of diversity. We found this to be the best EA Sports NHL iteration in a long time. If Snoop Dogg is commentating Be A Pro, Franchise, or any mode where players expect immersion, it might not be a fit. However, the trailer for Snoop’s NHL 20 arrival shows him providing commentary during core gameplay, which is a bit puzzling. The announcers are whacky and the tone far less serious, a perfect setting for Snoop Dogg to spice things up. Those modes step outside the traditional hockey box. My first thought after the initial shock was that this could be a pretty cool idea when applied to the Ones or Threes game modes. However, nobody asked me, and EA announced today that Snoop had indeed made his way to EA Sports’ annual hockey release. So that might tip you towards wanting to get one of these now before they’ve got more than just adidas and team branding on it, assuming that the jerseys sold to fans are like European soccer shirts that tend to keep their sponsors on it.If you would have asked me to rank the 100 most likely people to appear as a guest commentator in NHL 20, Snoop Dogg would not have made the list. Also, as a PSA, if you’re on the fence about buying a jersey, keep in mind that this is the last year before the NHL adds a jersey advertisement on the chest. That might give some reason and staying power to go buy one, since they will be around on the ice for a little bit. Pittsburgh will don this unique throwback uniform for at least the next three seasons. Especially since the team announced today: This is also the reason why it’s been over a decade since the team has introduced an alternate jersey that hasn’t been the traditional colors (black, yellow, white) and probably isn’t likely to go back to a shade of blue soon. In the old jerseys (see Mario’s picture in the header) they had the triangle logo, another sign the “RoboPen” isn’t that high on the team priority list to bring back just yet.įor marketing and #branding purposes, the team is going to want to emphasize that as much as possible, and not deviate or muddy the waters by wearing a completely different logo. The skating Penguin logo on the shoulder (as seen in last year’s white reverse retro jersey) is the current logo and mark associated with the team. The primarily black throwback jersey will feature the yellow diagonal “PITTSBURGH” text centered on the chest and includes the skating Penguin sans the traditional triangle on each shoulder. One reason why the team hasn’t brought that back is referenced indirectly by the team in their release. Even though the logo was introduced in 1992 and the Stanley Cup streak was broken, so I couldn’t know why the (ugly) design has fans, but it does. Lately, and somewhat surprisingly, a vocal portion of the fanbase has been clamoring for the return of the “RoboPen” design for some reason. The team has announced which games they will be wearing these bad boys for yet this season, and they are as follows: (Just in time for Christmas, how nice and coincidental). The Pens have announced these will be available at Pens Gear starting on December 11th and then at other retail locations starting December 16th.
