Debate Topics For A Bye Weekend, Part 2

Filed under: Admin,History — Chas @ 11:58 am

This is one I wanted to get to for a week, but it has been hectic.

Fans for Script

is a place of interest for many, I suspect. I’ve added them to the links area under “School Links.”
It’s a student-based effort to bring back the script and the old colors for Pitt.

I miss the old colors. Have for some time. There’s no secret about that. I think the present colors are boring, common and the whole thing — as I know Lee and I have said on more then one occasion — reminds me of the San Diego Chargers situation. They have those boring dark colors, but when they break out the baby blues, people go nuts. They are one of the cooler pro football unis.

As for the script, well I’d like to say my view is a bit nuanced, but wishy-washy is probably a better way to put it.

I could take or leave the script. The colors are more important to me, and for logo designs I prefer simple. So, the block letter “Pitt” doesn’t really bother me. If getting the script meant junking the present panther head logo, I would probably get on board.

The big stumbling block, though, with the script is ownership. If I understand things correctly, the script Pitt logo is owned by the university itself, not the athletic department (hence, why you see Pitt Campus police with hats bearing the script Pitt). This is important for the funding of athletics if the merchandise sales are not going straight to the athletic department. In fact, this is the issue that probably does more to prevent any serious discussion of the return of the script logo.





Totally unrelated to the thread, but does anyone have that video of tyler palko after the 2004 win at notre dame? The one where he is really fing proud of his football team. I had it on youtube but there are deleted everything in sight due to copyright laws. I was wondering if anyone had it from a different website or saved on their computer.

he dropped the f-bomb that day…a no no but I’m sure worse things could have come out of his mouth. good game. and I love the old uniforms, they were unique and looked above the college game. I vote YES in bringing them back, even if only once a season.

Comment by Panthoor 10.27.06 @ 4:16 pm

Good point about the U owning the script – and I’m sure your correct about the financial aspects of the changing uniforms every so often.

Clemons verballed with Michigan.

Comment by Reed 10.27.06 @ 5:15 pm

Ya it sucks that we lost Clemons… but we did offer Jim Maitland and my son told me that on his myspace or xanga or whatever the hell it is he put he wants to go to Pitt and even though he probably will be a career back-up thaat really helps our chances with Bo Williams!

Comment by Mark 10.27.06 @ 6:42 pm

I’m really disappointed that you’re helping to perpetuate the rumor about the Script ownership. It’s simply untrue. This is what I was told explicitly by a high ranking official in the Pitt Athletic Department. Jeff Long simply doesn’t want the script back. Unfortunately for him, Wannstedt and many major Pitt boosters do. It’s only a matter of time.

Comment by Will 10.27.06 @ 6:51 pm

bring back the script! i own script hats, shirts, hoodies, just about everything i can grab. its distinctiv, but i dont mind the angry dog panther head, that can stay. i always thought pitts uni’s looked a bit like colorados from far away or on a small tv screen. there was no mistaking the old blue and gold.

Comment by matt 10.27.06 @ 8:00 pm

This what I can’t believe. If Wanny and all of these boosters want it back why isn’t it happening. I guess their just milking us fans for more money knowing we’ll buy the current stuff then rebuy all new stuff if and when they change. My only concern is are they willing to go to the royal and mustard full-time. Royal is not the best color for shirts and jackets. They are sweet unis though!

Comment by Pete 10.27.06 @ 8:41 pm

Here you go regarding the Palko vs. ND link…

Comment by Jeff 10.27.06 @ 10:46 pm

Just wanted to let you know some of us do like the current logo/colors. I think it is more classy and less dated than the yellow/bright blue when I was in school.

Comment by Kevin Yoder 10.28.06 @ 12:58 pm

I LOVE the mustard and blue. Pitt currently looks like several other teams. Many teams wear the blue and gold including ND & Navy. I would prefer something different with the script back on the helmets that make our team stand out. I have magnets on my truck of the Panther head and more then half of the people who see it have no idea what it represents.

Comment by Tony in Harrisburg 10.28.06 @ 1:38 pm

The panther head resembles a rabid dog! The old uniforms were easily identified as the U of Pitt. You cannot differentiate the new look versus other schools.

Comment by Mark 10.28.06 @ 2:33 pm

In ref, to DEBATE No. 1 (Helmets, etc.)

One thing to note about our color scheme: whereas Navy (c. early ‘60s) & Notre Dame (1952-present) have remained pretty constant in their unis and headgear, Pitt ALSO brandished a GOLD helmet between 1969 and 1972 with inclusion of a NAVY BLUE and WHITE pinstripe in the latter two years of this period. Check it out for yourself at The Helmet Project by following the Link provided below. (On the left margin of the page you’ll find links to other conferences and, of course, the Independent league.)

Comment by Neil 10.28.06 @ 4:49 pm

Navy blue and Old “mustard” Gold are the way to go. The light blue unis from the YSU game are not representative of Pitt’s classic script unis. The helmets were dead-on though.

Comment by Will 10.29.06 @ 7:52 am

That stuff about the ownership of the script is a myth. Completely false. The old colors is a must and I think we need to bring back the traditional uniform for the football team. Not as important in other sports. If the script only ends up on the helmet and nowhere else I would be satisfied.

Comment by Dave 10.30.06 @ 11:31 am

Bring back the bold and spicy flavor of Panther football!!! Mustard and blue w/ the script Pitt are the way to go. I would even settle for the “French’s” mustard and royal from when I was in school. That Panther head and block print have to go.
