The new Pitt uniforms and colors look pretty nice with the lighting in this picture, IMO.
From the pictures that have been floating around, they are the same uniform as the one we had from 2009-2015 except different colors and the Pitt Script instead of Block Pitt.I love that shade of Blue of the jerseys in the Photo, but if you scroll down Canada's Twitter Feed the other Photos show the Jerseys to be a darker shade of Blue, which I do not like. Also the #s look terrible(especially the rounded #s like 3 & 8, whereas 4 & 7 look a little better. Also agree with others that the Stripes should be back on the pants, as when they were added recently, I was finally starting to like the uniforms, except for the Darker Shade of Blue, and do not care for the shade of Gold on the Helmets, so was wondering if that will change this year. I like the Gold on the Baylor Helmets, otherwise just go back to the Marino Era Gold Helmets.
I hope if PITT does do a Throwback Uniforms Game(and it needs to be done for the Game versus the CULT from Crappy Valley), that they just do them exactly like the Marino era and do not just mix the older colors with these new styles of uniforms(so hope PITT does not use these new styles jersey #s and put the stripes back on the pants).

I was talking about the throwback uniforms they are rumored to be wearing this year.How are they the same? Stripes were added to the Sleeves. The Stripe that was added recently to the Pants are now removed, and the Jersey # Style is completely different. And PITT used Script Helmets last year. If anything, the Colors are the only part that might not be different(if you go by other photos and not the one shown above which does look like a nicer lighter shade of Blue, but could just be the lighting when the photo was taken, so everything is the opposite of the items that you posted.
How can you not like these uniforms. They look sweet!
I was in my early/mid 20's one time, it was a late fall and buddy picks me up to hit up the south side.. I am wearing jeans, grey wool socks with these sketcher flip flops. Thought it was ok look. Buddy looks at me and says "So we aren't trying to get laid tonight?" I went back in and changed.. still didn't pull anything out of the bars that night either..The constant voicing of angst over clothing on here is astonishing. Let's worry about throwing the ball vertically. Who gives a flying fornication about the hue of the blue?
Have any of you looked around when you go to games? Half the crowd is dressed in jorts, cargo shorts, wearing socks with sandals or some combination of the three. Let's fix those egregious fashion faux pas first. Leave the fashion discussion to the people of Milan.
I will readily be able to identify the guys I will root for every Saturday. That's really all that matters.

It is near impossible to match a helmet to pants 100%.......Look around college football and if you look closely like some people on this board....you will see a slight difference in color of helmets and pants across the country....this isn't a new thing for Pitt.....obviously because of what a helmet is made of and what jersey pants are made of...I just don't understand why the gold helmets can't match the gold in the uniforms. If they had the matted look for the gold helmets think it would match up better
I love this excuse.. Nike has the ability to make pants more than one color.. Lets just hope we go blue pants more often than not..It is near impossible to match a helmet to pants 100%.......Look around college football and if you look closely like some people on this board....you will see a slight difference in color of helmets and pants across the country....this isn't a new thing for Pitt.....obviously because of what a helmet is made of and what jersey pants are made of...
Then why doesn't Nike do this, esp. for their bellcow program Alabama? It is the truth whether you want to admit it or not...I love this excuse.. Nike has the ability to make pants more than one color.. Lets just hope we go blue pants more often than not..
you want nike to make bama gold paints? bama wears white pants with a red stripe.. this is by design, has to be.. You cant' possibly tell me that nike is trying to match the colors and this is the best they can do.. Someone either at Pitt or nike wants extremely bright metallic gold pants because if this is the closest that nike can do, to the official gold color of our university, then they need to get the Chinese youth to work a bit harder in their factories..Then why doesn't Nike do this, esp. for their bellcow program Alabama?

LOL my god you are not that dense......Look at their helmet and then look at their jersey and see if you the maroon matches exactly.....I'll hang up and listenyou want nike to make bama gold paints? bama wears white pants with a red stripe..
im with you Wanny, I know what you are saying. Regarding doing better at matching the gold from our helmet to pants, we should use ND's pants, they are a spot on match. I know they are Adidas and we are nike but I don't think adidas has the patent on that shade of gold.. Check out our helmets and their pants, its spot on.LOL my god you are not that dense......Look at their helmet and then look at their jersey and see if you the maroon matches exactly.....I'll hang up and listen
What is with the washed out gold look on the pants?The new Pitt uniforms and colors look pretty nice with the lighting in this picture, IMO.
we've been asking this for about 3 months now.. its like something out of a detergent commercial. The "before" pic of what happens when you use the generic detergent..What is with the washed out gold look on the pants?
what are mom jeans? how bout those Jesus sandals, the ones with straps. Birkenstocks I think people call them. Can I wear those with Jean shorts?I expect to see everyone dressed impeccably this year at the games. No jorts. No shitty 20-year-old Champion crewneck sweatshirts. No Mom jeans. No bowlcuts and no porn staches with Captain Kangaroo haircuts.
When we accomplish this (and I know we won't. In fact we won't even come close. The higher up the seating bowl you head the more ragamuffin the joint looks) then and only then can we question what clothing they dress the team in.
I LOVE the sleeve stripes. The numbers are a little ...eh...and the pants need a stripe but the rest of the uni works great.
