Anybody have any ideas ?
I personally only want 2 jerseys , if this is true I hope they only wear the new ones once a year.

2020 Alternate
- Thread starter PanthersMBT
- Start date
for the love of everything holy PLEASE NO. Besides it says JERSEY !
The current jersey has accents that pay homage to the Cathedral. How about an alternate that draws from Posvar Hall (formerly Forbes Quad)? Concrete grey with lots of brutalist geometric lines.
I have a copy of the alternate helmet.
My sources say that it is this helmet with the word "CATHY" in torch cut font emblazoned across the chest and buttocks areas.
I think it will either be black or gray matte. I'm guessing black, because weren't there a batch of facemasks they had painted black a few months ago? Either way, I'm completely fine with it, as long as it actually looks nice. People want to make us into Penn State and Alabama with only having two traditional looks, but the truth of the matters is that we don't have that tradition, so why pretend? I'd rather keep up with the times and appeal to recruits' interests. And I won't lie: I also like many of these alternate uniforms. Many jump the shark, but there are some really good-looking ones out there.
Black Out jerseys will appeal to recruits. I am down for it. They will probably wear it for the ACC Thursday night home game anyways.
Black jerseys or Midnight Panther jerseys look great in images and glamour shots, but the reality is they will look bad at Heinz Field with a bunch of empty seats showing while Pitt is trying to "black out" the stadium. It will only draw more attention to the attendance. We simply are in no position to pull it off successfully, and I hope they realize it.
As long as the alternate pays tribute to Anthony's Lounge on Baum Blvd I'm down.
Duquesne wore black and gold unis in hoops last year. I wouldn’t mind Pitt doing that once a year, for a Thursday night game. Yeah it would be a little weird not being our colors, but I’m sure high school kids would like it if they made it look good.
that look did us a lot of good didnt it? We got the colors everybody wanted so let’s concentrate on winning football games and less about unis

I like the black panther idea. Black jerseys, blue letters, yellow accents seems interesting to me. I'm not hardcore about the regular colors, so...
Palko's so "f'ing proud" of that uni that he's doing his best to hide his face while wearing it.
H.B. says he's so damn good looking, that he can make any uni look good.

I’d guess centered around this I’m black with cathedral lettering

Not to mention
Bama and Penn State literally have the two worst uniforms in college sports
Boredom isn’t tradition it just sucks ass.
Pitt had the premiere uniforms in college football last year and Nike had to invent the Cathedral numerals, which just don't work for the football jerseys. I can't say I'm that excited for what they're going to come up with.
I can definitely empathize, because I thought the same thing at first. I thought we just took perfection and made it worse for no reason other than to justify calling it a change. But I must say... I've done a complete 180 on the numbers. The front might not be what I would choose to do if I were designing them, but I've come around to not hate it. I think it makes last year's big block front on the throwbacks look dated. Same with the color...hated the yellow numbers at first, but now I'm wondering why in the world they were ever white. It might take me a bit longer to come around on the stripes, though. I also think the basketball uniforms suck. But I'm finally loving these new football uniforms.
Do you remember that game? The only game we wore that combo and we got trashed by Louisville.
Yes, I remember that game. I was ready to burn the unis with the players in them.
to their credit, it was Louisville's best team ever. But it was still a bad year for Wanny, and the embarrassing debacle against UCONN
The only reason they were ever block white numerals was because they were the same block generic numbers everyone used before numbers became more customized across the board.
I’m all for the cathedral numbers for that reason alone... white block just isn’t anything but conformity.
Heck even the Stillers have numbers that stand alone... so should Pitt and now they do thankfully.
Next year means a new, alternate football jersey “inspired by the Cathedral,” Spears said. Told you Nike was enamored with it.
“Wait until you see the alternates in 2020,” Spears said. “Wait until you see them. They’re so amazing — I just can’t wait.”

Yeah, but if you win in them they look a lot better. If The uniform is synonymous with that winning feeling then it will be beloved
Yeah. You are correct. I also think we wore those at rutgers as well if memory serves correct
Honestly, I don’t think they’re too bad. If you’re not Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, USC, etc. you should expect Nike to create a custom font for your team. It’s what they do for everyone and, as we’ve seen, it can be a lot worse.
The only changes I’d make to the uniform as a whole is making them closer resemble our traditional uniforms; Yellow face mask, white numbers with yellow outline, and yellow name plates. But we look like Pitt again, and for me that’s the biggest thing.
As for the alternate, Nike actually does a good job at the black uniform look so I’m hopeful they’ll do the same for us. Perhaps they implement a matte or chrome back helmet, but I think it’ll still have the Pitt Script. I haven’t seen any uniforms that they switched the helmet decal for black alternates.
I prefer the classic white numbers, but I don't mind the new cathedral inspired numbers. They are 10x better than the previous cathedral inspired numbers designed by Nike interns.
I lost count but am I reading that we already have people complaining about the new uniforms that are only four or five months old?
No,blue pants were wore there with gold jerseys.and the jerseys were different.they had the big Pitt on the front not panthers.
Seriously its pretty hard to screw up basketball uniforms but they did. The womans team has better uniforms than the men's.
