Throwbacks

The Steelers (http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/) will wear their 1934 throwback uniforms during a Week 8 home game against Indianapolis. It will be the third consecutive year the Steelers will wear the '34 throwbacks and eighth consecutive year that they've worn a throwback uniform. By NFL rules, the Steelers can't switch to another throwback style until after the 2016 season.
