College football season is right around the corner, and along with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with Week 1, comes something else altogether: Uniform talk.

That’s right, a handful of teams always seem to break out specialty uniforms for Week 1, with schools like Texas A&M, Arizona State, Notre Dame and others stealing the headlines --- and our hearts --- with fresh and different looks.

Well another school jumped into the fray Tuesday, when the Pitt Panthers announced they would wear throwbacks honoring the great teams of the 1970s and '80s during their homecoming game against Georgia Tech on Oct. 8.

Here are a couple additional looks at the incredible new threads.

Honestly, these uniforms are pretty cool, and they honor a different era of Pitt football, one which featured stars like Dan Marino and Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett, when the Panthers were one of the top teams in the country.

For those who are a bit too young to remember, here’s what Marino looked like wearing them back in the day.
