A cropped scan of a photo of Pennsylvania Hall, now demolished and replaced by a modern residence hall of the same name, from inside Pitt Stadium, also now demolished. This side of Pennsylvania Hall shows the "Hail to Pitt" sign that existed in many variations throughout the years on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh. This version was painted for the 100th season of Pitt football in 1990. It depicts a stylized version of Giuseppe Moretti's Panther statues as well as the traditional script Pitt logo that served as the primary athletic logo from 1973 until 1997. Hail to Pitt is both the title of the primary fight song of the University of Pittsburgh, as well as the most common athletic slogan.
