The university will reveal in a news conference Thursday that it is going back to a spelled-out “Pitt” logo, although it is not expected to be the scripted “Pitt” that was used from 1970 to Aug. 4, 1997, before being replaced by a Panther logo. Team colors are not expected to change from dark blue and gold. The football team will be outfitted with new uniforms, which also will be unveiled Thursday.
A previous article had said that you can expect the colors to remain unchanged (damn). Essentially it is expected that it will just be the present style with which “Pittsburgh” is printed on the front of the football unis, just chopped off at “Pitt.” The “iron bar” logo Pitt will be phased out. I have no idea whether the panther tooth will survive.
