Pittsurgh, Pennslvania has got a lot of Yellow and Black in its blood. Across the board the town has a lot of history with that color combo; from Baseball, Football to Hockey. The “Robo Penguin” as he was affectionately called, was designed the Vance, Wright & Adams Design Group. The modernized look debuted in 1992 to much skepticism. The graphic consists of the top half of a penguin in motion on a Yellow triangle. The triangle in the logo refers to the three rivers that intersect in Pittsburgh; Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio. I’m not much for hockey and I was born in Philly, but this is still one my all time favorite sports logos. Pictured here is a dead stock STARTER Penguins fitted cap in all its glory. Although there’s aren’t as popular as their snap-back cousins, it’s nice to have something rare in the collection. Our passionate plea is that you remove the damn tags before you wear it.

You don’t see many of these around. Here’s another eBay gem; a vintage Starter FITTED baseball cap.

In this auction you have the Duke Blue Devils in a size 7-1/2. With a BUY-IT-NOW Price of $19.99, we don’t expect this find to remain on the auction site for long.

Its been quiet on the eBAY scene for a hot minute. We came across a staff favorite – another vintage Miami Hurricanes fitted cap produced by STARTER. We broke a story these rare finds back in ’07. We came across another, this time in a 7-3/8 size. To be fair, this looks rough around the edges and sweated, but this could still be a nice piece for the collection after a good steam cleaning. To view the more images and the link to the auction, check after the jump. No comment on the Rainbow Bright sheets…
