Sport Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The Steelers have the worst uniforms in the NFL. There! I said it. The Packers are probably in the top 5 for me. Personally, I'd like to see the Packers in green jerseys and the Steelers wearing they're standard road unis but with their fauxback pants. GO PACK GO!You know what, I actually think that'd look pretty good. I'd be a little strange and out of the norm for the Steelers, but come to think of it I think it'd actually be a nice look. If you think about it, it'd match well - the pant stripe is black-gold-black, the sleeves stripes (though of course a different pattern) go black-gold-black three times, and the helmet stripe is single gold on a black helmet. It could definetely work.EDIT: Oh, and I don't think the Steelers have the worst uniforms, but there are things about it that bug me. They need to go back to block numbers and take the logo patch off the chest (same goes for the Jets). What's the point of having that there, anyways? Wouldn't a wordmark suffice?Because for some idiotic reason the logo is only on one side of the helmet. I don't think they have the worst uniforms (that distinction belongs to the Bills), but the Steelers uniforms are pretty bad. A lot of the problems stem from the disappearing sleeve stripes which ins't their fault, but it'd be nice if they corrected the problem and scaled down the size of the stripes the way Iowa does. This is probably the Bengals fan in me, but I think steelers jerseys on girls are really unattractive. The stripes make them look chunky and the number font is really not pleasing to the eye. The same can be said for girls in browns jersey so I guess it is the Bengals fan in me. Girls in Bengals jerseys = sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTnSocal Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Steelers in all white? I could get into that.In soccer leagues overseas, not only the shirts can't clash in color, but the shorts can't either.Example, if Manchester United whose home kit is (red shirt, white shorts) play at Manchester City (light blue shirts, white shorts), Man Utd can & do wear their red shirt (since it doesn't clash with City's shirt), but with it they wear their black shorts.Perhaps the NFL should consider adopting that, especially now considering that most teams now have more than 2 or more colors to choose from in the pants dept.That 1980 Super Bowl in Pasadena, there was way too much yellow between the STEELERS and RAMS. Expect the same for PACKERS v STEELERSI agree that Pittsburgh would look good wearing their fauxback white pants ... white on white, with their regular black helmets.and all of you who seem to think the STEELERS have the worst uniforms in the NFL is obviously not taking into account that there is an NFL team in Cleveland.

RedRenesis Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The Steelers have the worst uniforms in the NFL. There! I said it.I disagree wholeheartedly. The Steelers' look is a classic. They should never, ever, ever, EVER change their uniforms! Round numbers, block numbers -- I'm comfortable either way.In my mind the only thing that keeps the Steelers uniform away from the top of the list is the round numbers. The whole tough defense shtick and those round numbers have never gone together in my head. Nike brought in the round numbers to Pittsburgh, hopefully they are taking them out next season.

PhlyBoy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sorry computer trouble^^^ Don't wanna be "that guy" but not real away jersey there. On all jerseys they sell sleeve stripe goes all way around and there is no collar on that one, like green one above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a shortage of jerseys for teams that go deep into the playoffs. So they simply take blank white Raiders templates and throw on the appropriate team's striping and numbers. The results are, more times then not, less then stellar.

ARTnSocal Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This coming from someone with a BILLS avatar. Wow. Someone in a glass house is chucking a big :censored:ing rock.Glass house .... chucking a big rock?I've been chucking rocks it all right, but at my own house just as much.I hate our present uniforms since they revamped 'em in 2002, and have complained vigorously both on this board and to all my BILLS friends and on our own boards. As bad are they are, they're still not as bad as Cleveland's are, and if they wore blue on white pants at home, and white on blue pants on the road as originally planned 8 years ago they wouldn't be all that bad.Our '65 throwbacks along with the CHARGERS '63s are the most popular among NFL fans, you'd know that if you did a fair share of reading about this subject online. On both BILLS chat boards the deep majority are constantly initiating threads relating to dumping the current Midnight Blue and using either the '65 throwbacks or the 90s uniforms full-time.

The Browns' set is just a few slight tweaks away from perfection. I've actually grown to like their look since they darkened the brown a few years ago.

I could get into that.So could they...or so they did as it were. That's the advantage of being a little older I guess, you remember this stuff. These are from '71; not sure where the Bears put their sleeve stripes that day...#32 is like, "Look, guys, the Blue Angels are doing the flyover!"Check out Terry's facemask and lack of chinstrap. BTW, that's 'Immaculate Reception' participant Frenchy Fuqua in the background (#33).He was a young 'un back then. And no more dissin' the one-sided logo.

tBBP Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If only....Yeah...if only Levon Kirkland, Kevin Greene, Rod Woodson, and Carnell "My Head Looks Like a Thumb" Lake were still playing today. Those were the days there. Though I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson--if that's him--doesn't miss them at all. Meanwhile, my namesake in green there, Robert Brooks--yep, that was a pretty good guy. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Looks like ESPN Milwaukee reported correctly ... The PACK in green with the Super Bowl XLV logoMy theory is that one reason the NFL went with a grayscale SB logo in order to look less intrusive color-wise on the uniforms.That logo goes with every teams' uniform equally well.

PackerBadger Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks to all for adding to the hype.FWIW, the Packers are 2?0 in green-clad Super Bowls, and the Steelers are 3?0 in white-clad Super Bowls. Something's got to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
