AD probably isn't the issue there. Lots of alumni of schools want throwback logos on gear (Flying T for TCU, Sailor Bear for Baylor, etc...), but there are a myriad of reasons ($) why that usually doesn't happen.

The biggest reason is schools are now making a crap ton in licensing old logos to Retro Brand and 47 Brand for an entire new segment that is separate from their primary apparel deal.

Those deals lose their value if the old logo goes back to being the primary.

It's the same reason the NBA actually forbids teams from going back to classic logos. The Jazz is as close as we've seen. But the Hardwood Classics line is so profitable, they won't let teams go "back" to old branding,

No, the AD is the reason they went to the darker colors and went away from the script. He hated everything Pitt stood for. So him being out of the question will certainly help in the return of the classic colors and script, which most fans want anyway.

Nebraska will be the away team for the Holiday Bowl. Should be a good looking game when paired with USC's home set.

And that "Winning Tradition" patch hasn't ever, and won't ever look good with anything.

Biased, but disagree. And it's definitely more noticeable on the aways. It doesn't stick out so much on the homes.

Surprised no one posted this earlier this season, or that I didn't know it happened.

Montana State '84 throwbacks:

let me try this again.. THIS would look good for Pitt

Agreed. Even with the current PITT wordmark, in these colors it'd look good.
