Because of the volume of feedback regarding the new secondary Panther head logo released by the Pitt athletics department last week, The Pitt News talked with Chris Ferris, Pitt’s assistant athletics director of marketing and promotions, to discuss how such a decision is made and if student and community feedback can affect future changes.

The Pitt News: When did you get an indication that there needed to be a secondary logo change?

Chris Ferris: I think it starts back really when [Pitt athletics director Jeff Long] first came to Pitt in 2005 when we introduced the block Pitt logo. I think Jeff has really maintained that that really is our primary identity and as a result of that, we introduced the block Pitt and I think it’s been pretty well received. I don’t think we’ve really wavered in the fact that that’s our primary identity, and that’s the logo that’s going to continue to be featured on our uniform
