As for the uniforms themselves, I actually think the blue and yellow are slightly off. I think they are too bright and prefer a darker blue and a more mustard gold. However, that’s speaking purely as a traditionalist. I get that the younger folks probably prefer the more vibrant colors and that’s whose going to buy the vast majority of that stuff anyway.
No matter what, these unis are 10,000 times better than what they had been wearing.
Pitt’s famous Cathedral of Learning is widely regarded as one of the most iconic academic buildings in the world, much less North America. It is a truly spectacular work of architecture and the epicenter of the Pitt campus. However, I do worry that sometimes we get a little too tied to that because most outsiders would have no idea about it’s significance or majesty.
Here are some photos of it.
Honestly, it looks like Hogwarts. I’ve been inside that building literally thousands of times and every single time you step foot in it you feel like you are somewhere special.
Nike obviously incorporated it into the striping and into the number font. They wanted the arched numbers to represent the arches of the Cathedral. I’m not hogwild about overly stylized numbers and I definitely wish these have been white, rather than gold, but I get what they’re going for here.
