Pitt Greatest Uniforms In Final Four, Highest CFB Uniform, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Guess Pederson's Pittsburgh DinoCat Did Not Make Any Listings????
Pitt Script Overcame 20 Years hidden in Oblivion!!!
Excerpt:
We put the best of the best uniforms in college sports head-to-head in the first ever Campus Insiders uniform tournament.
Well we started with 64 teams in this tournament, and now we’re down to the Final Four:
Pitt (football),
Arizona State (baseball),
UCLA (basketball),
Notre Dame (hockey).
Ironically enough, Notre Dame’s hockey team also made the Frozen Four, which is set to begin next week. Not a bad week for the Irish hockey team. Pitt comes into the Final Four as our lowest seed of the bunch, so kudos to them for the effort they’ve shown to make it this far. One could argue that the Panthers had the toughest road to the Final Four of any of the remaining teams. After all, college football is home to some of the greatest uniforms in all of sports, so to say that you were voted as having the best football uniform in the nation is by no means a small feat. But could they muster up the energy to pull off another victory to make it to the Final?

No Penn State, that will drive the Cult Dolt's even more with Hate than the Penn State Football Scandal, Removal of the Paterno Statue, Guilty Pleas, Jury Convictions, NCAA Sanctions with $60 Million Fines, and Title IX-Clery Act $2.4 Fines highest in College Football History. WVU left out of the Top Loop too!

OK. To me this is an easy win for the AD.

Pitt needs to cultivate their brand and identity for Football. The alt Uniform is not only well liked amongst the fans, but seems to have some national appeal. That is what Pitt needs!

The other sports can keep the same Navy Blue/Old Gold...but I think Pitt Football needs to stand out! AD, are you listening?

 

[HailtoPitt]

Amazing that some of us have been suggesting this for over 15 years and it fell on deaf ears until recently.

 

[Pittx9]

I still kinda like the new colors with the script. I think they should just full out Oregon and wear different unis all the time. New colors, old colors, switch up the pants, gold jerseys with the new look, etc. No doubt the old school look is the best, but with the script they finally got a navy blue and old gold look that works. I say use all the uniform combos.

 

[cruzer]

By all means, let's keep the uniforms that are wildly popular in moth balls. Intro to marketing students would make the obvious call. Let's see what Pitt does.

I recall when Majors rolled it out, it was an Instant Hit with all National Networks. The Pitt Script Helmet, Mustard Yellow and Blue with White Shoes. Everybody liked it and it stood out. It became a Pitt Tradition.

Only Pederson thought he could Re-brand anything and kept doing it, until someone finally fired him, and cheers went out that night at Pitt Basketball. When Palko made comments on it when they wore it with other Players in one game only Pederson was upset. What a second rate person in every way and his own Alma Mater won't acknowledge him.

Class of '73 keyed Pitt's magical season

Joe Starkey | Sunday, Aug. 27, 2006

About 10 minutes before Pitt's spring football scrimmage in 1973, new coach Johnny Majors turned to assistant Joe Avezzano and said, "Joe, where's the rest of the team?"

"Coach," Avezzano replied. "This is it."

So short of bodies were the Panthers that assistant coach Keith Schroeder - two years removed from his playing days at Iowa State -- was forced to suit up.

"He'd been out 'til about 3 o'clock," Majors recalled. "We woke him up at 8 and said, 'You'll be playing in the scrimmage today -- at linebacker.' "

It wasn't pretty, but Majors had a pretty good idea that the Panthers' luck was about to change, thanks to a massive recruiting class that included the best running back he'd ever seen.

Pitt's once-proud program had sunk to unfathomable depths. It hadn't produced a winning record in a decade, hadn't beaten Penn State since 1965 and was coming off a 1-10 season in which it was outscored 350-193.

The first key to the renovation project was a change in the school's scholarship policy. Previously, Pitt had been locked into the so-called "Big Four Agreement" with West Virginia, Penn State and Syracuse. It was designed to regulate the schools' football programs and limited each to just 25 scholarships per year.

Then-Pitt chancellor Wesley Posvar and athletic director Cas Myslinski sparked the program's revival by removing the self-imposed scholarship cap and by hiring the charismatic, 38-year-old Majors after the 1972 season.

Majors had coached the previous five years at Iowa State, where he had a 24-30-1 record. He brought most of his staff with him, including top assistant Jackie Sherrill. They had an unlimited amount of scholarships at their disposal - 1973 would prove to be the last year of unlimited scholarships in college football - and started hounding players from Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Maryland and, of course, Western Pennsylvania.

Majors gave his staff a simple directive: "Bring in anybody who can help us win."

Sherrill, in a recent phone interview, described the staff's philosophy as such: "We just put our heads down and our rear ends up and started digging."

That first class included quarterback Robert Haygood, tight end Jim Corbett, linebackers Cecil Johnson and Arnie Weatherington, center John Pelusi, kicker Carson Long, defensive linemen Al Romano, Ed Wilamowski, Gary Burley and Don Parrish and the biggest prize of all: Hopewell High School tailback Tony Dorsett.

Depending on whom you ask, the class ranged from 65 to 100 kids. Sherrill has it pegged at 76. "Kind of ironic," he says, "because in '76 we'd win the national championship."

Sherrill was the lead recruiter on Dorsett, and he quickly discovered that Dorsett's closest friend and Hopewell teammate, Ed Wilamowski, was critical to the chase. He was a pretty good player, too.

"Ed was white and Tony was black, and at every school they visited, they were separated (in the college dorms)," Sherrill recalled. "I don't know if I was smarter than the others, but I didn't separate them. I knew Tony was very, very close to Ed. We kept them together."

Dorsett remembers. "There's a whole lot of validity to that," he said in a recent phone interview.

There's also plenty of validity to the perception that Dorsett and many of his new teammates were ready to quit a few days into Pitt's 1973 summer camp in Johnstown.

See, the second part of Majors' rebuilding plan, after stocking his freshman class, was to instill a strong sense of discipline and to make his team the best-conditioned one in the country. He worked his players to the bone in the searing heat at Pitt's Johnstown campus.

"It was pretty damn hard and pretty damn hot, and I was ready to come home," Dorsett recalled, laughing. What made him stay?

"A conversation with my mom and with Jackie (Sherrill). It was just really hard. I was pretty introverted -- quiet and shy. I hid behind those big, dark sunglasses. I didn't feel like I fit in very well socially. The only time I was really comfortable was on the football field."

Sherrill was the self-described drill sergeant of the staff. He'd played for Paul "Bear" Bryant at Alabama, so he knew first-hand what it was like to survive a brutal training camp. Looking back, he says Pitt's camp that year was about as close to the movie "The Junction Boys" - depicting Bryant's harsh training regimens at Texas A&M -- as one could get.

Tight end Jim Corbett remembered a bus coming by each day to pick up players who'd quit. "We did lose a few," Sherrill said. "We went to Johnstown with 3-to-5 busloads, but we didn't come back with that many. It was very, very hot, as hot as any of the camps I remember."

Corbett recalled Majors constantly saying, "Don't be discouraged" as players competed with multiple challengers for starting spots. "I'd look around see, like, 13 other tight ends," Corbett recalled. "It was wild. But Coach Majors kept saying, 'Those who stay will play.' "

Majors changed the uniforms and revamped the locker room before the '73 season. He coached and cajoled with all the enthusiasm of a southern preacher, which, in some ways, is what he was.

"I played for Coach Bryant and coached under Frank Broyles (at Arkansas), and Coach Majors was the best PR guy of all of them," Sherrill said. "He had a great ability to make people feel like they'd known him forever the first time they met. It's a trait that really separated Coach from 99.9 percent of the coaches out there."

Pitt's remarkable four-year run began with the season-opener in 1973, when it went on the road and played heavily favored Georgia to a 7-7 tie behind Dorsett's 101 yards rushing.

The Panthers finished 6-5-1, posting the biggest turnaround in college football that season. Three years and three more stellar recruiting classes later, they were playing Georgia again - this time with a national championship at stake at the Louisiana Superdome.

Majors had already announced he'd be going home to coach Tennessee the following season. No matter. Pitt destroyed Georgia, 27-3, to claim its first national championship since 1937.

In four short years, a punching bag of a program had become the neighborhood bully...................

ESPN says Pitt has top football uniforms in the ACC
by CardiacHill@AnsonWhaley Jun 9, 2016, 6:00pm EDT
ESPN's panel that recently reviewed uniforms of every Power 5 team apparently likes them as well as the Panthers were voted as having the best outfits in the entire ACC:

We're traditionalists here, and few uniform changes got us more excited recently than Pittsburgh's decision to revert to its signature script logo. The look harkens to the good ol' days of Panther greats like Tony Dorsett and Dan Marino, and it has been well-received in virtually every corner so far. The logo was used from 1973-96, and the alternate versions now even feature a matted navy helmet. (For the record, Florida State's old uniforms would've been our pick here, but the Seminoles changed jerseys in 2014.)........

Amazing that some of us have been suggesting this for over 15 years and it fell on deaf ears until recently.

History of The Creation of PITT SCRIPT, the death of it by Pederson's Poison to attract W& J, RMU, Thiel, and other Small College Fans with Pederson's Illogical Marketing, Pederson refusal to revive it, and its Resurrection when the Pitt Script return caused Pederson to Resign and better people prevailed over one sole small minded second rate boy from Nebraska.
Pitt News Article: (Posted because It was one of the page by page types)
PITT NEWS
The Life Death & Rebirth Of A Font:
The University of Pittsburgh’s second most recognizable symbol — after the Cathedral of Learning — is a font. But describe Pitt script’s curves to any alum, and you realize a font can mean a whole lot. The famous script represented Pitt football in every battle, every bowl, every brawl from 1973 until 1996. And starting next year for all Pitt sports teams, it will follow Pitt into the future.The story of Pitt script begins with Johnny Majors who became Pitt football’s head coach after four years leading Iowa State University.

At the time, Pitt had a great tradition — eight national championships — and not much else. It hadn’t made a bowl game in 17 seasons. Majors was saddled with the challenge of reinvigorating the program. And with the likes of “Mean Joe” Greene, Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris playing “dahntahn with the Stillers,” Majors knew the team was always battling for local attention after four mediocre seasons with an overall .310 winning percentage.

“We were in a pro town,” 80-year-old Majors said last week from his home in Tennessee. “I knew that we were going to need to be competitive to get people in the stands — we weren’t winning.”

Not everyone knows this inglorious chapter of Pitt history— but Charles Bonasorte does. While he may be best known for hawking Pitt wares on the corner of Forbes Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard, Bonasorte — though everyone calls him Chas — was on the team for their awful 1-10 year in 1972. He played outside linebacker and was a punt returner.

“The locker room was horrendous,” the Pitt Stop owner said. The team’s letter jackets weren’t worth the fabric they were printed on. Majors knew he couldn’t raise a winner in this atmosphere.

“Before I took the job, I told [Pitt] I wanted a new locker room, a new weight room and new uniforms,” Majors said. New uniforms? “I wanted to look good,” Majors said. “They were going to be as well conditioned as anyone in the country, we’re going to be as well disciplined as anyone in the country, and I wanted us to look good when we were dressed in uniforms.” Majors had also reimagined Iowa State’s uniforms when he took over the Cyclones in 1968, and led the team to two straight bowls to end his tenure there

It would be deja vu for Majors in the Steel City. Pitt improved its record for four straight years, culminating in Tony Dorsett — his script helmet covered in stickers for every touchdown he scored — rushing for more than 200 yards in the Sugar Bowl. The 27-3 win over University of Georgia gave Pitt a national championship in 1976.

Before he arrived, Majors said Pitt uniforms were old gold and navy blue, a lot like University of Notre Dame’s uniforms — then and now. But they lacked a logo, and Majors said Pitt need something to catch people’s attention. So he looked for inspiration across the country at University of California, Los Angeles, which has a “catchy script,” and called in a Pitt-employed artist.

“I said ‘I want to see what it looks like in print, I want to see what it looks like in script.’” Majors said. He also asked for versions with letters of equal heights and with capital and lower cases.

“[The artist] did about a half a dozen signs, and I picked out the one we used,” Majors said. The result? Smoothly drawn letters, with plump tails and flowing curves, spelling out “Pitt.” This would be Pitt football’s first helmet logo.

To Paul Lukas, a uniform expert who started analyzing sports aesthetics in 1999 for The Village Voice, Pitt waited far too long to add a helmet logo. To him, the key to every outfit is what sits on top.

“Every football uniform starts with the helmet, you have to have a good helmet,” Lukas, who also writes for ESPN and maintains his own website, said. With the script gracing the side, Lukas said the helmet came alive. “There’s something sort of snappy about [Pitt script],” Lukas said. “There’s a little edge of wit to it that I’ve always liked, a playfulness. Those are elements that are pretty much lacking in today’s sports graphics.”

A shift in hue complemented the new logo. Majors updated the colors to a royal blue and a bright mustard yellow from the earlier, drab palette. Just like a uniform naturally fades with time, subsequent coaches toned down the temperature of the colors. “[Later coaches] kept the script but they lightened the gold, and they lightened the blue,” Majors said. “I changed that when I came back the second time.”

Majors left Pitt in 1976 after winning a national championship to coach at his alma mater, University of Tennessee. He returned in 1993 for three more seasons in the blue and yellow, but left Pittsburgh for good in 1996.

The script had survived other coaching changes, but Pitt was going through more than a standard leadership swap in 1996 when Pitt hired former athletic director Steve Pederson. As part of his new program, Pederson wanted to rebrand the team to appeal to a wider audience, according to Bonasorte, who was on Pederson’s redesign committee.

“[Pederson] wanted to blend in with the steel town image,” Bonasorte said. The new logo reflected that, and it appeared “chiseled out,” as he described. Pederson brought in Peter Moore, the creator of the the Air Jordan logo, to design a replacement for the venerable script. The new design featured a growling panther perched on top of the familiar blocky “Pittsburgh,” arched in a half circle. “This mark not only standardizes all Pittsburgh athletic marks, but it serves as a new image we want to emulate in everything we do — bold and dynamic,” Pederson said in the press release announcing the rebranding.

To Lukas, Moore’s logo was a step backwards. “So much of contemporary sports graphic is about looking ferocious. Furrowed brow, gritted teeth, all that kind of crap,” Lukas said. “What made the script special was how it didn’t take itself so seriously.”

By branding the University’s athletics generically, Bonasorte said alums of other universities like Washington and Jefferson College, Thiel College, Ohio State University and Robert Morris University make Pitt their second team. By replacing the Pitt script — and all its Pitt-specific connotations — the team could market itself better to neutral fans.

“You can be a Panther fan and not hurt that you are a Robert Morris dad,” Bonasorte said. Part of Pederson’s redesign also toned the colors down to the current navy blue and old gold, like they were before Majors came to Pitt.

And present Pitt fans have noticed how generic that logo feels. “[Pitt script] looks so much slicker compared to the block lettering,” said Colin Gilbert, a freshman marketing and supply chain management major, as he browsed the script hats at the Pitt Stop. “It’s more tailored to Pitt itself, it’s more of a logo.”

Pitt removed the last vestiges of the script in 1996. But the fans’ love for the script never left.

Fans freaked out when Pitt announced it would place Pitt script stickers over the current block Pitt logo on the team’s helmets for last year’s homecoming. By popular demand, the script was back. And the popularity of the vintage emblem ensured it would stick for the rest of the year. The pressure that made Pederson — he resigned in December of last year — reconsider also hit his replacement, Scott Barnes. And Barnes didn’t bother fighting back. In August of this year, he announced that the script would be back for good, for every sport, for the 2016-17 athletic seasons.

Pitt’s first game after the announcement was the home opener against Youngstown State University. Bonasorte, selling gear outside Heinz Field for the game, had caps with both the blocky font and the script on them.“All [the fans] wanted were the script hats, we didn’t sell any of the other ones,” Bonasorte said.

This makes sense to Lukas. “[In general, fans] have fonder memories of an ugly uniform that the team won a championship in then rather than a nice uniform they had a losing season in,” Lukas said.

So if a team has won a championship while looking sharp, like Pitt did in 1976, you have a timeless aesthetic. “We had some of the greatest uniforms in America,” Majors said. “Our players loved them, our fans loved them and they catch on you.” Majors was a consummate disciplinarian — “pride and enthusiasm” doesn’t work unless you train the team hard.

His thing was ‘whatever it takes,’” Bonasorte said of Majors’ coaching. “They dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s in 1973, where nobody in life even thought about it.” This attention to detail won Majors, Bonasorte and all of Pitt glory in 1976. But the spiraling i’s and t’s, along with the big P.? They’re a timeless bonus.

Pitt Script only has returned in one year and won two awards with ESPN choosing ACC Best Uniforms and now Campus Insider chose Best in College Football. It was a great easy move transition back to rebirth from the dark days of Pederson's Poisons Buyout Consultants and refusal to admit he got it wrong on his first day in 1996.
New York Times weighed In On Pitt Script Return:
Excerpt:
...........“I looked at their uniforms, and I thought they were pretty dull,” Majors said. So Majors redesigned them. The school colors are old gold and navy blue, but Majors decided that a mustard yellow and royal blue looked sharper — in part because Pitt would not resemble the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as much. He added double “Northwestern stripes” (one wide stripe bordered by two thinner stripes) to the jerseys and a thick blue stripe, a nod to the N.F.L.’s Pittsburgh Steelers, to the pants. He wanted a helmet insignia that stood out in newspaper photos, on television and on magazine covers. Majors dreamed big from the start. Majors liked the “Ucla” script insignia on U.C.L.A.’s helmets. So he told an artist, whose name he cannot remember, to draw something similar for Pitt.............When Majors’s second stint as Pitt’s coach ended, the Panthers moved to navy blue jerseys with “Pittsburgh” in block letters on the front and shiny gold pants and helmets — which carried an insignia of a growling panther. Majors said he never liked putting the name of his teams on the front of their uniforms. “You learn to be recognized by the way you play,” he said.

But the insignia was worse. It was widely referred to as Dino Cat, and not in a positive way. Majors said it “looked like a dog,” pronouncing it “dawg.”

Pitt got rid of Dino Cat for a block-letter logo, and the Panthers played one game in 2005 in throwback uniforms that included the Pitt Script, but die-hard fans wanted it back for good. (A Facebook page, Free the Script, has drawn nearly 1,900 likes.)

Steve Pederson, who banished the Pitt Script (not to mention Majors) after becoming the university’s athletic director in 1996, announced last October that the Pitt Script would be placed on the helmets for a home game against Georgia Tech, then for the rest of the season. “It was kept fairly quiet,” Rowell said, “but everybody was fired up about it.”

After taking over from Pederson, Barnes announced in August that the Pitt Script was here to stay, incorporated into all of the university’s athletic uniforms by the start of the 2016-17 year. Maybe it was not such a coincidence that Pitt won six of its first seven football games and is now 7-3 after a 31-13 win at Duke on Saturday...........“Everything is going in a positive direction now, and people want to be a part of it,” Rowell said. Barnes said of the Pitt Script, “I haven’t run into anybody who didn’t want it.”.........The team’s football uniforms are still navy blue and gold. But Barnes said the athletic department would do a thorough study on using what he called “accent colors,” which may include the royal blue and mustard yellow conjured up by John Majors some 42 years ago. Then the comeback will truly be complete

Most people's hearts are in the right place but their head is up their ass. That slogan is a trademark of RoguePanther Inc.

When Pederson was asked about why not bring back the Pitt Script, he would say it would not make Pitt win more games, one Former Booster responded, it can bring in more Pitt Boosters and Money that can can help Pitt win, he just shrugged.

Once he knew his New Name Pittsburgh and Logo's were failures he was smart enough to admit it and went to Nebraska then started to mess up his own Alma Mater traditions but they were smart enough to fire him and let him keep his Buyout, upon Pitt return he made more mistakes and so did Pitt by giving him a Buyout just Months before Chancellor Nordenberg retired and Gallagher took over and forced Pederson to bring it back and announce himself in October and gone by November.

How Pederson and now Barnes mishandled Pitt Coaching Selections and Buyouts and then left is now what Pitt New AD must overcome. Coach Narduzzi is great chnage for Pitt Football but he needs more Boosters, Staffing, Salaries, and Support First and Foremost and now up to Pitt Athletic Director to join that endeavor on the Business & Compliance Side and she is way more qualified than Pederson or Barnes.

Pitt advancement in Athletic is always dependent on Chancellor Vision Firts and his ability to find the right people to carry it out like TCU's Chris Del Conte, Clemson's Dan Radakovich, Northwestern's James J. Phillips and Stanford's Bernard Muir.

All these Athletic Directors knew how to rebuild and maintain Athletics at smaller schools with less Students and Alumni and in Urban Settings, build New or Renovate Stadium plus Facilities, Hired Great Coaches and develop Olympic Sports among far bigger Public Universities with already established Support, Attendance, and Boosters that demand it. In turn, Winning in Athletics advances Academics as well, it is a Public Perception that does not make sense but does in today's Power Five Conferences.

Pederson and Barnes were not up to that task Heather Lyke Vice now has a chance to change the poor Legacies of Pitt Athletic Directors since Bozo Bozik to Smiley Selfish Face and Barnum Barnes dependence on Poor Consultants!

Heather is very well qualified and we shall see if up to the task turning Pitt around on Athletics with Coach Narduzzi under Chancellor Gallagher Vision and all stay at Pitt for 10 years together.

 

[DruidTM]

Keep what we did last season ...

1. The "new" colors look better on actual clothing
2. The cathedral numbers are distinct and great
3. I like the throwbacks ...but they will get tired fast if worn every week...options are what's happening today. Look around college football...Pitt doesn't have to be Oregon but I sure as hell don't want to be penn state either same same same....Even ND changes stuff up quite often over the past few years...so does Ohio State ...so does Michigan
4. The "new" colors (on regular home and away) are actually more aligned with everything else at the university....no buildings on campus have neon blue and gold....

Just design a new Panther or Panther head secondary logo and we are good to go !
