There are very few fans that would be against a return to the script Pitt and colors from Pitt’s better days. There’s been plenty of discussion about it and I don’t care why we’re not wearing it, whether it be something legal or someone just making an executive decision about it — I just want to see a return to those colors.
Are we going to see that soon? Well, there are some seemingly small changes being made according to Sitting Ringside.
The “PANTHERS” across the chest will be replaced with “PITT” and blue pants will return for the first time since 2003, when they were worn against Virginia Tech.
It seems like we’ll never get to the point where we see the same jerseys that we wore against Youngstown State in that throwback game. Thankfully I picked mine up in that auction of the game-used jerseys because we might never see them on a Pitt team regularly for a while.
Bottom line, we could wear all black or pink but without talent and coaching, it ain’t gonna matter.
The blue on blue is only slightly less revolting than the all gold we came up with last year. I didn’t mind them with the away white jerseys so bad but the blue on blue? Maybe we will wear those snazzy gold shirts with the blue pants, that would look sa-weet!!! (Insert puking sounds here).
