Pitt going with some steel gray uniforms against Louisville.

At least they are staying consistent with the font. This go around of unis is light years beyond past efforts.
love the helmets. Cool unis
Very nice. Would have to see more of it to really see, but paying homage to Pittsburgh’s roots is pretty awesome to me.
Of course I love our uniforms now, and wouldn’t mind black and gold ones either
From 1997-2018 had to deal with sub par uni looks. Finally get it right in 2019. One year later roll out these turds. No thanks.
Really who cares about old men’s opinion like yours and mine. I really like them though.
work with young men and you will find out there is a difference in opinion
I like the silver look but it needed to incorporate some of the Pitt blue to make it look like a Pitt uniform. Maybe blue letters or something. I know its an alternate look but it doesn't look anything like Pitt. I thought the basketball team did a great job with the black uniforms so something more like that. The helmets are really cool though.
We waited so long to get the blue and gold back and as soon as they get the traditional look, they tinker with them and add the Cathederal numbers. Now they're adding an alternate uniform. I never like when teams constantly change their uniforms. I suppose with these it's a very unique look, particularly the helmets.
I am a grumpy old man (40) who doesn’t like change. I understand young men between 18-22 May think they look great. Just not my cup of tea.
One funny thing is that Pitt has three home game to open the season and will have worn the blue jerseys only once.
Hitting a piece of hot steel with a hammer. Basically what you are seeing in the scene right before that patch makes an appearance.
It's an alternate uniform, it's not supposed to look like the regular uniforms. I like it for one game.
Not a big fan of these unis myself, but do appreciate the shout outs to Samuel Yellin, one of the most notable wrought iron artisans in American history. Pitt's campus probably has more of his work than any other one place in the country, and you can find examples of his works in museums all over.
By the way, the university is going to be installing new handrails around the Cathedral that are fabricated to duplicate existing Yellin handrails outside Heinz Chapel. These will replace some non-ornate ones and add to places with steps that don't have any.

He's probably the main reason why the NCAA granted his grandson Joey immediate eligibility.
As long as Pitt wins Saturday, it's all good.
That said, those are complete garbage. Whatever fire they are using to forge the steel, they should throw these uniforms in it just as soon as the game is over and never wear this crap again.
Nike has a junk alternative uni for almost every team.
Oregon has set the bar with the ridiculous number of uni combos. Other than that, I really don't know how much a different look occasionally moves the needle in recruiting. I think its mostly a non-issue.

Thank you. The video is similar to watching a black cat move thru the night.
better or worse than these?
I think the new steel ones are better, given efforts to pay homage to Pittsburgh.
Also this is the third helmet design with a Panther.

Worse - those dark blue uniforms were on point!
Agreed. IMO these alternate unis are as bad as the all gold unis from the Palko era.

Those will come in October, for breast cancer awareness month.
Tell me that logo on the helmet doesnt look like a sleepwalker ?
