This is the front of the shirt which is further described below.
Pittsburgh Athletics
Physical Description: At an arch on the first part of the design is "PITTSBURGH". Each letter is typed in a blocky type of font in yellow with a blue outline. The middle has a blue oval with "XXL" spelled out in a yellow and firmer font. Finally, at the bottom in blue in the same font as "PITTSBURGH" is "ATHLETICS".

I am guessing that this shirt is an unlicensed shirt to celebrate the University of Pittsburgh's Athletics department as the Panthers are the only team's colors which are similar to the blue and yellow on this shirt. Pitt, as it is more commonly known, uses the colors navy blue and gold. The colors of the shirt are close enough, but surely if I were in a position to care, I would demand a closer match.

The XXL declaration is also a lie that should not have made it out to the store. This particular shirt is sized XL, and not XXL. I realize that the style is to have the shirt say "XXL" no matter the size. I just think that is a stupid style because many times it is untrue.

I'm not one to follow college sports, so I really don't have any opinion on the Panthers. I am guessing that the football team is not super great, because if they were I would see the bandwagon riders wearing Pitt merchandise. Maybe one day the bandwagon will swing around again and I will be informed on how well the team is doing.

The men's basketball team is the only other team that most Americans would care to tell me. It is a shame that so many sports are supported, but only football and men's basketball are really followed. Oh well, what can I do? Start to care? I don't have time for that. Pittsburgh is a good city. I've had my share of fun there. Seen the clowns, watched men with coffee fall down.
