robbman21 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Dang Darth,you beat me to it.I'm actually watching the game,and apparentlythey are using the old script "V" at midfield and the entire old script "Vikings" in the end zones.I'm pretty sure though that this is not at all permanent as remember they share the Metrodome with the Twins and they are playoff bound,so I'm sure two months from now they will have the complete packagemuch better and cleanly done than it is now.What that will be I'll just have to wait til October to see.Oh...and this is post #400!!!

winters in buffalo Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah, it looked a bit incomplete... in fact, it was hard to tell there was anything there at all in the highlights I saw. Speaking of end zones... wtf is up in Pittsburgh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 WiB I was wondering the exact same thing,glad you brought that up.I noticed it back in the pre-season and figured "Well,preseason game and you got pre-season field-painters."I was sure it would completed when the regular season started.For those that did not see it,the West end zone had Pittsburgh painted in it in black and gold but with small letters and there was way too much grass left unpainted.Inthe East end zone all they had were white lines that resemble a back slash on your computer's keyboard.

Pittsburgh U also plays at the stadium, so I guess they're just trying to avoid painting the field more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The Steelers, I believe, have generally only put the word "Pittsburgh", generally in black lettering, in the end zone since they opened Heinz Field. They've never done anything flashier. They wanted to avoid anything flashy in an attempt to show that football was their only focus. Also, just having Pittsburgh in either black or gold makes it so they don't have to somehow change the field art from a Saturday to a Sunday if both the University of Pittsburgh Panthers and the Steelers play home games the same weekend.

Burning River Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 In Pittsburgh, they change the outline of "gold" PITTSBURGH from Black to Dark blude depending on who's playing. They changed to / / / / / / when they installed their new field-turf/grass surface. The other endzone (when grass) would read "Panthers" in a full lower case font similar to the stencil "Steelers". What they would do is paint over the "Panth" with "Steel". Both nick-names shared the same "ers" when the end-zone was re-painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegame4219 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Life would be a whole lot easier in Pittsburgh if they just put Pittsburgh in both endzones and just change the outline color for NCAA and NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Life would be a whole lot easier in Pittsburgh if they just put Pittsburgh in both endzones and just change the outline color for NCAA and NFL exactly, that would be so much easier, and better looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
