29texan Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 and why stop at logos I wish they would have never left this place for the hideous dump they play in nowThanks a lot HOK for giving us all these wannabe Camden Yards. The retro crazy should have stopped at PNC. I'll admit PNC is a beautiful place but I'll take a cookie cutter or dome any day over a Citizens Bank or Minute Maid. IMO:Astrodome > Minute MaidBusch Memorial > New BuschVeterans > Citizens Bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I totally forgot about those Pitt uniforms with the script Pitt. Those absolutely must be brought back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A more updated or modern version of this:You know...I've never understood the allure of these.*unpopular opinion imminent*Okay sure, Pitt had some great years in the 70s, and like everything else about Pittsburgh sports I'm guessing that's where most of the nostalgia about these is seeded. That said, what Pitt has now ain't all that different from these. Save for the navy and Vegas (which I see as a better combo than the above, anyway), at last check, the current pants carry the same style of stripe. The jerseys have the block numbers, albeit in slightly different style?but there's NO way those stripes are fitting on jersey cuts of today, unless they get super-sifnificantly pared down. And none of you are going to convince me that that script "Pitt"?which looks just about as stuck in the '70s as the rest of that uniform does given the colors and all?looks better than the current block-lettered "PITT" they use now. (If they haven't done so yet, they can drop that dropshadow, though.)So in a way, what Pitt has now pretty much is a modern version of that. Part of me think that people just like to argue for the sets pictured above just because its been done for so long its become a running meme of sorts or something. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Those Pitt uniforms are one of the ugliest football uniforms I've ever seen, between the dated script, obnoxiously-big stripes, and terrible color scheme. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'd rather have that color scheme than the navy and Vegas gold. If navy and Vegas gold werent used by nearly 967 other teams, I'd probably feel different about it. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

chuckymack Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Those top two photos prove that the stripes CAN be done on modern uniforms. Take a look at those Revo helmets. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmejia Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Years back I wanted Pitt to return to the script wordmark on the helmet, but then it occured to me how dated I thought Florida's helmet looked with script. It made me realize I was being overly nostalgic about the design. I've grown to like the bolder PITT wordmark, but echo others who would like to see the dropshadow dropped. Vegas gold and navy blue is a bold combo fitting for Pitt, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'd rather have that color scheme than the navy and Vegas gold. If navy and Vegas gold werent used by nearly 967 other teams, I'd probably feel different about it.I agree. But more importantly (and someone correct me if I am wrong), in order to make the change, either a;. the Pitt teams had to ignore school colors or B. school colors were changed. Either way I don't like that. I've long given up on adding black, etc., but I'd like the actual school colors to be somewhat sacred. I am glad USC did not change to teal because it was trendy in the 1990s.The discussion of preferred colors, old Pitt vs. new Pitt, would be interesting for a pro team, but for college, they lose me by changing their school colors. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

I think Pitt should either bring back the script, or bring back the old colors... just not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Not an entire uniform, but I'd bring back the Red Sox' navy blue undershirts and the striped socks they had pre-2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Arched italic makes me sort of dizzy, and the player name doesn't have the decency to match it and also make me dizzy. What a pile of crap. The Mavericks are just fine looking modern, as they were a virtual non-entity until internet genius Mark Cuban came along. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I think these have already been brought up, so I apologize for possibly being redundant.
