They have had the same unis for as long as I have been alive; and they are readily identifiable by them.<BR/><BR/>I hate that Pitt has changed its colors, name, logo, and uniforms a hundred times in the last 20 years. <BR/><BR/>Go back to blue and gold. I like mustard, but prefer it on my hotdog. And bring back the Pitt Script. It is how Pitt is readily identifiable with greatness.<BR/><BR/>BTW, thanks a million, Pitt, for getting those backyard brawl tees out so fast.
