I must have missed it but my wife asked about Pitt's uniform colors with Cuse? I hesitate to ask but just wondering.
 
They wear them a few times a year since they rolled them out for the B1G/ACC challenge game against Rutgers a few years ago. They had Nike design a “city edition” alternate like the NBA teams have.
 
Possibly done as a shout out to immaculate reception 50 year anniversary?
 
Hey, I’m pleased that the only trash my Cuse pals can text me about after that game are our unis!

But I agree, not a fan. I get trying to tie hoops into the black and yellow nature of Pittsburgh pro sports as a whole to garner additional local interest, but I don’t think it’s successful.

Just win baby!
 
I don’t think they’re thinking of us when they design unis…it’s about recruits and sales…living here in the land of Nike, Oregon has both great and not so great units, and they sell…


Hail to PITT!

I think it’s a bad look and makes us look like the little brother to the pro teams. We already have too much of that with the Steelers and the football program.

I’m 100% for dinocat throwbacks though. I hope we eventually see those every once in a while. They were ugly but represent some good times.

And when they are doing that, they should throw the all bright yellows in there with them.
The yellow alternates could be good - we’ve had a gold alternate going back to the adidas days.

I’ll just never understand why they decided to do the block “Panthers” instead of the script Panthers that they have along the baseline. The white trim is weird, too.

You're a proud member of the LGBQT community, right? How would ya'll feel about rainbow uniforms?

Yeah what’s up with those? I agree that both uniforms aren’t very good. I think our alternate panther head logo would look sharp on the front of a jersey.
 
That’s where I am also. I know I’m in the real minority of this board in regards to uniforms by I don’t care about them in the slightest.
I'm not a huge fan of the black and gold or the big P, but if they win in them, it's all that matters. They could wear pink tutus and if they'd win, i'd be happy.

Kind of wish they would bring back the Paul Evans /Jerome Lane era uniforms back.
To infinity, and beyond, YES!

I told Charles that I bought a throwback jersey of his to wear while at the beach in France. He appreciated the representing on my part.

I liked them. We played with a bad ass attitude not a N’allins pimp.

no fan is buying those, you wont see one of those jerseys ever sold online or in a store.. and no recruit is going to come to pitt all of a sudden because we wear awful uniforms once or twice a year..
 
The stand alone P is cool - but more for a hat or baseball uni.

The black n Gold is cool once in awhile - but put a full script on it. Those are two things yinzers love combined.

It’s not as bad as the black uniform with the Pitt you couldn’t see.

Not sure why we are messing up the black uniform.

Recruits have seemed to like them. They’re usually the uniforms that visiting recruits have picked for the photo shoots that they do.

I agree that the black uniforms would look so much better with the full script "Pitt" on it. They could have a separate alternate uniform that is blue (or maybe put it on the yellow ones) and features the "P" on it.

I do have to say, I love the trim and scratch marks on the Vonteego era jerseys.

That early Nike gear for the Ducks was as good as any, ever. The metallic green helmet with the simple "O" was the best, esp. with a clean green jersey and white pants.
Now it's a race to the basement with silly feathers and such. Phil needs to step away, he looks pretty beat up these days. They do have sweet facilities. My granddaughter went to school there.
