Steelers wearing dynamite throwback jersey next season...

All,

Check it out; hot off the presses... This one is a GEM.

I hope no one is wearing #'s 1 to 4. Imagine the challenge flag when some opposing coach claims he thought some kicker standing on the sidelines was a down marker :p

Anyone know what year/era they're basing these on?

1933(ish) is what's being said on Jersey Central..

But it has an 80 Seasons patch... so some quick math puts that right in the ballpark.

Ugliest I have ever seen...

I'd like to buy a vowel.

I said it in another post and I'll say it here, as a die hard Steelers fan it is nice to see tradition being honored. Plus, they are 1000% times better then those monstrosities the Seahawks now call their permanent uniform.

Are they any worse than these? And yes, I used to own this jersey and even wore it in public in 1995. I was a young man then, of course...

Man! in black and white they are really channeling their inner criminal. That being said, I think this is an amazing idea. I believe every team should look back in their history and wear the most iconic or obtuse uni. I'd much rather see these than the futuristic abominations.

Every once in a while, some outlandish jersey just seems cool to me, while many do not. Something about these, I really like. Can't wait to see them in action.

They wore a nice jersey in 1967 with the "superman cape" top that I have been waiting for them to use as their throwbacks but to no avail. Interestingly, there is a debate whether the new throwback was used in 1933 or 1934. The Gridiron Uniform Database shows it as a 1933 jersey. Also, pictures of the Pirates from the newspapers in 1934 show them wearing a different uniform.

Did any of these gamers ever hit the market? I believe they wore them against the Redskins this past year.

I know Antonio Brown sold his that he wore against Washington, has since been on eBay a time or two.
