I admit it's a long shot, but the only reasonable options for a black jersey are this or Batman. Selling jerseys is the only reason they do this. Odds are it's the Batman jersey but I can see them doing one of the gold with black numbers jerseys they wore in the 1930's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this image on my desktop for a month now - there's something visually intimidating about the darkness of this photo: the lack of gold anywhere on those pants displeases me.

Don't get me wrong, the 70's digs are a great look. It's just not different enough from what they always wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Disappointing if true. It’s a good look, for sure. But it’s so similar that it begs the question: what’s the point? Either stick with the italic numbers or revert to block full time, but there’s no reason to have two identical sets with only a difference in font. The Batman style is the obvious and superior style because 1) it’s a great look, and 2) it’s actually different from the one they wear every other week.

lahaye7 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I agree with the above posts, what's the point of these throwbacks? Just thinking, would the Batman jersey cause a template problem for Nike? Would they have to have made a special template for the Steelers? I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssj_homeslice Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I made a couple mock ups of how the throwback would look in MS Paint using the CR uni. I like it, but as others have said, it's really not too different than our primaries, and I wish we could've gone with the batman unis... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the VU can also be sublimated so pretty much any design is now available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them making it about celebrating the 1978 or 1979 team, wouldn’t be shocked if they conviced Terry Bradshaw to show up again so they can officially retire his number.

Old School Fool Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The differences are so subtle that I don't think most people will realize it's a throwback. It kinda reminds me of the Packers throwbacks from Thanksgiving 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the lack of white in the sleeve stripes, but it drove me crazy how they wore socks with the current sleeve stripe pattern instead of matching them.

If it's based on 1979 then no. - I wonder if this is a trial balloon for a potential full-time return to block numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
