Pittsburgh sports teams stick together.

The Pirates players wore assorted Penguins jerseys on their road trip after Sunday's game to show support for the hockey team they share a city with as they take on the Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Making things even more appropriate, the Pirates, clad in their Penguins jerseys, were headed to the nation's capital to play the Washington Nationals.
