MJWalker45 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think a panther should remain on the helmets, but not the one they just tossed. It looks more like a rabid dog than a panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail2theVctrz Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The panther logo looks nothing like a panther. I don't even know what I can compare it to. You can't make anything out of it- seems like someone just scribbled and they called it a panther. I'm not calling the new logo great, I'm just saying, that panther logo is one of the worst in all sports. -Rob Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logodawg Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 It's nice to know I'm not the only one that hates the Pitt panther. I've hated that thing since the day they unveiled it. Plus I thought it was pretty stupid when they said "We're not Pitt anymore," even though it was good enough when they were winning national titles. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I still prefer the older script "PITT" that Marino wore. The panther is a bad one. I prefer cat logos in profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahub Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think they should go back to the script logo and keep the current colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranium Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 But, it is what most of us associate with Pitt. They had a an identity with the script "pitt". I'm too young/old to remember them with anything before that. It wasn't soft or tough. The players wearing it are what mattered. Give me Ironhead plowing into the line on any Saturday and I'm happy. If they had the old/current "PITT" fifty years before the script one, then you have a point. I'll accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 That Panther might be the worst logo in any major conference.The block "PITT" is a step in the right direction, but to me, Pitt will always be Mustard and Blue, with that script "Pitt" logo Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator85 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I prefer the "PITTSBURGH" logo with the panther. It's not like they lost their identity while they had this logo; people around the program still continued to say "Pitt." The word Pittsburgh works with all sports moreso than Pitt, so I suggest they use the logo they just had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantum Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I never cared much for the script Pitt, but the panther logo was awful. The block letter PITT is the best yet IMO.

Max Power Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I hated it when they went to the Pittsburgh Panther logo, but it grew on me over time. I don't see why they're going back to the Pitt look. They worked so hard not to be "Pitt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmm Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I like the panther more than the new Pitt logo (and more than the old Pitt script, too). The new one looks too plain, as did the script. At least they waited until after I graduated to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocreguy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Sorry, Lurker here.I go to Pitt (So I hear these things a lot), When Steve Pederson, our old AD, moved to Nebraska, almost immediately the program wanted to revert back to being Pitt. I can't really blame them, being called "Pittsburgh" kind of mixed their identity with the far more popular Steelers (it's bad enough the word "Panthers" is written in the Steeler font on the gates of Heinz Field, embarrassing if you ask me). Anyway, Pederson was die-hard about changing it to the full name to make the university sound more prestiged (Because, you know, when I think of Cities of Prestige, I think of Pittsburgh). Anyway, it failed miserably and everyone here still calls it Pitt. When Jeff Long came here, they basically started the process of changing us officially back to Pitt. This year against Youngstown State (as you all know) we wore the scripties and it was a HUGE success. I see more script pitt jerseys around than the new sidestripe ones. The students here also have a petition to get back script pitt. Of course, that'll never happen, with the Athletic Department spending wads of cash for an artist to 'design' a logo that is block letters at a slight arch. Keep in mind, anyone who's been to the Peterson Events Center knows they have a MASSIVE Pitt Beaver/Arch Pittsburgh logo (as seen in the first post) right in the entranceway. It's just opened a few years ago and already the logo is outdated...BTW, no one here likes the Pittsburgh Beaver logo either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
