This is an easy one for me: Pitt.
Pitt fans cannot seem to agree on the color of the sky, but pretty much everyone agrees that switching from these uniforms to the navy blue and Vegas gold uniforms they have been wearing ever since was and remains a terrible decision.
It’s literally been unpopular since the day they made it in the mid 90s, and people have been clamoring for a return to these uniforms ever since.
What most amazes me about this issue is how when I run into fans of other teams on business travel or on vacation or even at games, when the topic of my favorite college football team comes up, that’s almost always one of the first questions people ask. “Hey, if you don’t mind me asking, why on earth did you guys get away from those cool uniforms you used to wear?”
It literally happens several times per year totally unsolicited and out of the blue. I always just shrug my shoulders and tell them I have no idea?
It’s also true whenever writers tackle this issue for various magazines and when broadcasters do our games. You can pretty much guarantee at least once during every Pitt broadcast the announcers are going to bring up how much nicer our old uniforms looked than our current uniforms – in which we look like a cross between Notre Dame and Akron.
