I like the attempt at the fur stripes. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Think they easily could have just gone with the fur stripes and the M logos on both sides and it'd be a top-notch helmet for them. Also, Oregon was using their green helmets today in practice, which is a clear sign they plan on using them this weekend against Wyoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 ^Yep, and I'm guessing they'll pair the green helmets with the rumored new white jerseys, probably with either green or white pants: I'm personally expecting the first option, but the second option wouldn't surprise me either. And just as a reminder, the white jersey in these mockups might be slightly different from the real thing, as I based it off of some rumors, some leaked info/images, and some of my own suspicions.

Duke level??? You know Duke-Pitt is a division rivalry game, right? Duke, the same division rival that Pitt broke out the throwbacks against last year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1976 National Championship team.....

SmackNCheese Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I actually am a huge fan of the "fur stripes" on the helmet. They're fun and instantly recognizable to most intimate CFB fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Gah. I want to hate that Minnesota helmet but I can't. Also, would it be unpopular to say I'm still not fond of TCU's set and don't get why everyone drools over them? They've mixed and matched so many elements in the past decade I'm not sure they have a real identity anymore. I've always had a soft spot for the LT era set because it was both cohesive and memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap the M on both sides and wear it with the maroon jerseys and it would be a fun alternate, but the all gold is gonna look bad and the asymmetric helmet doesn't help save the look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt-Duke is a divisional game but nowhere near a rivalry. Maybe I should have worded it better, Pitt will most likely break out the throwback look for bigger TV games while the bland navy and beige look will be used for the ESPN3, ESPNU and ACC syndication games. I think the Duke game last year was homecoming hence the 1976 National Championship celebration so they would have worn the throwbacks not matter who they played. Pitt's new AD seems to get it when it comes to the throwback uniforms and colors so they'll be showcased when Pitt's on a big stage this year, the previous AD's saw the throwbacks as a nuisance or didn't get that they meant something to most of the fans.

I believe (as of now, at least) Pitt's wearing the navy and gold against a top-10 Oklahoma State team. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
