Steelers Unveil Throwback Uniforms for 2012 Season

[polamalubeast]

this is awful

[GodfatherofSoul]

By the way, in 1934, the Steelers (nee Pirates) went 2-10.

People thought the offense didn't score much last year....in 1934, they only scored 10 or more points in 3 games, and they were shut out in 6 games.

Lemme guess...Mortimer Arians was OC that year?

[salamander]

Ugh...

That's funny stuff.

[stillers4me]

Ditch the socks. Please.

[The WH]

Well, some of you were pining for the block numbers to be back. See what you get?

These GQ uniforms will be worn for the team photo.

Tribune-Review reporter Mark Kaboly tweeted Saturday the Steelers plan to wear their throwback uniforms for the 2012 team picture, strongly suggesting they either don't feel the need to keep a copy of the 2012 team photo around, or they haven't sold many of the "imprisoned bumblebee" jerseys, and they're looking for some marketing help.

The Steelers will wear these uniforms against Washington Oct. 28 and against Baltimore Nov. 18.

[steelreserve]

well. That's nice and dumb.

[Steelman]

Seriously, worst throwback jerseys of all time.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Those are so ugly that there isn't even a word to describe them.

[tube517]

Wait,did Paul Stanley join Stryper?

[Moose]

Ridiculous looking mess !! I'm sure Harrison will look just lovely in this is bumblee outfit. Really Mr Rooney.....this is the best you can chose from ??!! No wonder the players are lining up to get on the injured can not play list ! I'm going to be embarrased to be a fan in a Steeler jersey watching these poor men running around in that crap. I just do not understand the theory of 'throw backs'....they are THROW BACKs for a reason !! Leave the ugly, moronic, crap in the garbage file damnit .

[Nadroj 20]

At least the guys are having fun with it lol.

They know they look ridiculus!

[salamander]

Just as a comparison, here's the Redskins' new throwback jersey for this year...



Much better looking than the Steelers' bumblebee look, imo.

eagles in 2007

[Nadroj 20]

Neither of those compare to the these steelers uni's. The box around the numbers is terrible.

[ALLD]

"But NOOOooooooooo!!!"

Equally as bad as the Steelers...maybe not as bad...

Having said that, I like how ugly the jerseys are and how pissed off people get at them...but let's not forget, it's not shot the jersey as much as it is honoring that era...

[Mean Joe]

Does anyone know if/when these uniforms will be worn? What game(s)?

I really hated these at first but the have grown on me just a bit. I received a catalog from the Steelers store back in the spring that said you could purchase the 80th anniversary jerseys. Now that I have decided to get one for my collection I cannot find them on the Steelers site or NFL shop. Anyone know what happened?

I've seen some for sale online that appear to be fake web sites out of China. Any knowledge of a reliable source would also be appreciated. Thanks!

[vader29]

They announced that they will be worn at home against the Redskins and Ravens.

[Mean Joe]

Thanks vader! I figured the Ravens. They always seem to wear them against the Ravens. I think maybe its because it helps distinguish them apart, especially the yellow helmets vs the black. IMO.

[steelpride12]

I say everytime the Steelers wear these uniforms Harrison will get a fine and I blame BA for that.

[steel striker]

I can say only one thing BARF!

Just got an email that they are available for purchase at the official Steelers website, they ship in 2-3 weeks.

If they gave these things away free with a gallon of milk I wouldn't take one. Yuck. Who would BUY one?

[86WARD]

I'd take it free with milk. Milks expensive...they should give a lot free with it.

[Butch]

I know there are some who didn't love the ones we have been wearing but I loved them.

As for the current version I would rather get paper cuts on my eye's than to have to look at them.

[86WARD]

I've almost done a full 180 on them. I like them more and more when people say they don't like them and it's really not about the jersey so much as honoring that time period. I'm good with them now...
