The Pirates’ dress code for their one-day road trip to Denver Thursday was spelled out in four capitalized words posted in the clubhouse before the team’s doubleheader with the New York Mets Tuesday.
JEANS OKAY.
PENGUINS JERSEY.
The call came from manager Clint Hurdle for the Pirates to wear Penguins sweaters for their flights to and from Colorado Thursday. They will arrive in Denver early Thursday morning and return to Pittsburgh early Friday morning, watching Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on the plane.
Hurdle will wear his Mario Lemieux jersey, and Andrew McCutchen his Evgeni Malkin jersey.
