Sounds like the plan is to have a different uni combo for every game.

same colors is fine, alternate uni with mustard yellow and lighter blue will suffice.

If you aren't going old school then go All in Oregon
That's cool

Just glad one of the first things Chancellor Gallagher did was forced Pederson to bring back the Pitt Script and was a nice way of saying, maybe it is time you left and he got the message.

Pederson's standard answer when asked why not to return to the Script, he would say, it would not make us win more games.....Funny none of his multiple Consultant's New Uniform and Logo Changes did not do that either over his entire tenure by much?

Do not really care about Colors that much but glad the Script is back and so are Pitt Fans except for 2 to 3 that agreed with Pederson's Poison (PP).

Looks like Clemson figure it out too, under Aliquippa's Dan Radakovich as there A.D. and once wanted the Pitt A.D. job but Pitt brought back PP? It was always a No Brainer and Barnes figured it out?

Clemson has new uniforms, but you've seen them before. Or you've seen elements of them, at least.The Tigers new look is inspired by the 1981 Clemson team that won the national championship, and the school released a video highlighting the changes being made to the Clemson uniforms, as well as a few photos.

And about 100 other teams. It isn't unique any longer.

 

[Swervin27]

I propose that we at least wait til we see the new unis before bitching about them. Anyone agree??

Clemson gets it.

Hilarious that SP probably made more cosmetic changes then any AD in Pitt's history, but when asked to give the fans what they wanted he thought that there were already too many changes. What a jerk.

Yep, and PP cause the multiple changes did not need an Army of Consultants being paid like PP did?

Pitt Pederson Era or Pederson Poison Errors better Known as The PP Errors!

 

[DruidTM]

I'm interested in hearing all of the trials tribulations and pitfalls the search committee went through before finally finding script!!!

None. The search committee paid me $200k and I already had the script in my back pocket.

 

[mvk112]

Clemson gets it.

The only change Clemson made was to put the paw on the shoulder and larger front numbers. It wasn't like they overhauled their entire set to go back to what they had in 1981.

Do you honestly think Chancellor Gallagher forced Pederson to do this?

 

[Swervin27]

Do you honestly think Chancellor Gallagher forced Pederson to do this?

No doubt in my mind the change back to script came from someone other than Pederson.. Absolutely, without a doubt..

 

[HailtoPitt]

Do you honestly think Chancellor Gallagher forced Pederson to do this?

I believe that was the case. Remember Steve's interview on The Fan about it... Steve sounded like he just lost a loved one.

 

[QuitCallingMeWanny]

So in other words no proof, just biased opinions....Ok thanks...

and for the record I am glad the change was made but some of the nonsense on here....Oy

 

[HailtoPitt]

Don't need proof. It is common sense. Nordy left. Gallagher comes in. Suddenly Script is on the helmets. Steve's tone on his radio interview told the tale.

 

[Swervin27]

are you seriously debating this? You think steve woke up one morning and said, It's time for a change?? Come on now, who is being the silly one?

 

[QuitCallingMeWanny]

Ok you can hold on to the tone in Steve's voice on the radio......I'll keep searching for the real answer.....

While I enjoy the hyperbole, I will await the real answer, like the other guy in this thread said, Steve's tone on the radio doesn't cut it for me

ok, well godspeed on your quest for documented evidence.. Let us know when you find something..

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Do you honestly think Chancellor Gallagher forced Pederson to do this?

Why do you think otherwise? Explain it?

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Agree plus some subsequent events?

 

[HailtoPitt]

Yeah, you and O.J.

So in your admission you don't know why? Ask others for a why? When given can't accept it? And you still see the Script today back but not Pederson, and Duh, still don't know why?

and for the record I am glad the change was made but some of the nonsense on here....The Only nonsense is you asking why, then told, and then can't explain your own position without evidence, yet the Script is back! No one cares what for the record you care about, when you ask questions a kid knows the answers, but glad to help you anyway.

Here are articles written at the time that can help you.

The Authors talks about the odd timing and some did not care if the Script came back or not, like a few others. But most Pitt Fans Love it according to the New A.D.!

The Links educate anyone to come to a better conclusion to resolve any of their confusion and that is OK if you still don't understand.

Why you think it is was so complicated and require evidence unlike most of the Posters that took the time to help you see why it was so simple, except for Pederson and he is gone.

The Script is back and will make more money for Pitt then Pederson's Paid Consultants wasting money on his approved alternatives and mismanagement and why he was fired from two schools?

They should have alternate unis that they can where once a year, like the '80s colors, like when ND wears green like once every year or 2.

I believe they are going to have one throwback version and I think it will be a version from the late 70s to early 90s, but we don't yet know which one specifically.

 

[bwh05]

The change back to the script prior to homecoming was dictated by the Chancellor. It was also the first indication that things would be different under Gallagher

 

[Saboteur]

Do you honestly think Chancellor Gallagher forced Pederson to do this?

No. I think it was the Easter Bunny.

 

[Pantherman43]

I propose that we at least wait til we see the new unis before bitching about them. Anyone agree??

bitching is more than half the fun

 

[bwh05]

I'll get it started...The new uniforms suck!!!! Why didn't they make them more like my own personal preferences!!!!

If the facemask isn't Gray, eff Barnes!!

You mean Ball State.

Don't need proof. It is common sense. Nordy left. Gallagher comes in. Suddenly Script is on the helmets. Steve's tone on his radio interview told the tale.

So one variable changed and one variable remained constant.
Clearly, it was the constant resistant to change, right,?
