~Bear Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 They're good looking but.....pretty boring for an alternate. Block numbers would be a great full-time look, but most people probably won't even notice when the Steelers are wearing these throwbacks and when they are wearing their regular homes. It's better than something over-the-top like an all-yellow look, but it's still pretty simplistic in this day and age. Could be a lot better, could be a lot worse.

The only year they wore white socks with the road jersey stripe pattern. By the following season, they had eliminated the road socks and players wore the standard home green striped socks. I don't see any ":mismatch" in the throwback socks, though. The striping pattern repeats the Braisher stripes on the pants. The color order is the same, but the scale changes the look too much for them to coordinate properly for me. On that uniform, I’d rather see a solid green sock, or even take the two gold stripes from the sleeve design and add them to the green sock. For a stripe as complex as what’s on that sock, I prefer to pair it with a simpler pant and helmet stripe, as Pittsburgh does. Truth be told though (I know it’s sacrilege for them to change at this point), I’d love to see the Packers in a green and gold version of the 1940s shoulder yoke uniform, with a few new touches, like a green helmet and pant stripe and a simplified G or even a GB logo.

If they truly want this to be a throwback, they've gotta wear predominantly high white socks (black colorblocking at the top, but only about 25% or less of the sock or tight underneath a white sock) and white shoes. They missed the opportunity to swap out to a grey facemask here, which is a huge miss, but they could at least get the socks/shoes right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Green Bay players still do it to this day. JuJu, when he was a rookie, rode his bike to practice and famously had it stolen. Antonio Brown offered a reward to the person who returned it. Not sure if he ever paid up. Looks like he customized the decals on it since last year. Also looks like he’s riding on an effectively flat tire.

Because you can’t sell high white sanitary socks or white cleats to fans, so it isn’t relevant to that “throwback swag.” Somewhat related: is anyone thinking that producing these throwback jerseys for retail is as simple as manufacturing the jersey the same way with the (woven sleeve stripes) while leavin off the logo and stitching on different numbers? Could something like that actually be a latent factor regarding how a team selects an alternate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but gray facemasks would at least distinguish these more from the current set. That said, since they're specifically calling these '78-'79 throwbacks, the black facemasks are accurate.
