A jersey filled with history

They are clean.

They are sharp.

They are classic.

And they hold a lot of history. Winning history that is.

They should put on the gray face mask as well and go a couple years before...

These classics are great, but the Bee's have a superior swag.

I love the block numbers and no logo on front shoulder, it does look clean and sharp but was hoping for more of a drastic throwback with some swag as stated by others. I do love the color rush which they still will be wearing this year I believe. But the more I look at these 78-79 throwback there growing on me. Probably will get one

I think Zulater mentioned this before but I'd like to see the all white Steeler road jerseys from the late 60s/early 70s.

The bumblebees were cool. Time for a change.

I still have a Bradshaw jersey that I wore in ‘79.

Does that make me ahead of the curve?... or, just cheap?

Yeah... that’s it.

I was just “cool” ahead of my time.

Back on my day... NFL jerseys were made out of a mixture of steel, industrial-strength cotton, and asbestos.

I think you are describing Toughskin Jeans.

I really liked the bumblebee unis, but I'll always have a reminder in my #83 bumblebee jersey.

I love our color rush unis, too.

Oh, who am I kidding. I don't care what they wear. Just win, baby!

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Should have gone with this look for the new throwbacks

Midway through the 1966 season, the Steelers were set to play a game against the Cowboys in Dallas on Oct. 30. Shortly before kickoff, Dan Rooney appeared on the Cowboys’ pregame radio show where he was asked, “Are you wearing those uniforms because tomorrow is Halloween?”�

I did, too!

I used to have the old Steeler jackets with the fake wool and fake leather sleeves.

Similar to this but with yellow sleeves.

This jacket + Toughskin jeans were all over our neighborhood.

[Fire Goodell]

My fav too, wasn't that also the same uniform they used in the 90's? I remember the block numbers at that time, though I wasn't old enough to catch the games in 78-79 lol
