Back when Pittsburgh was a national power, the Panthers had Dan Marino, they had Tony Dorsett, and they had those fresh uniforms with the light blue and gold.
The Panthers don’t have Marino or Dorsett anymore -- though James Conner isn’t a bad start -- but they will have the uniforms those former greats wore.
Pitt announced Tuesday plans to don throwback uniforms for their Homecoming game opposite Georgia Tech on Oct. 8.
A proud past. A brighter future.#Pitt throwback jerseys return.

The quest to push the Panthers into these throwbacks full-time begins... now.
