SoxSteeler Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 as a hardcore steeler fan i'm excited about any unveiling or announcement that the team does but i can't say i'm very optimistic for this. While I think the normal uniforms are some of the best in the league many of the steelers' past uniforms aren't that great nor do they translate to modern football very well. I thought the throwbacks that they have been using the past 5 years were the best option and quite sharp looking. The original '33 uniforms that they brought back for the leauges 75th anniversary are ok when looking back but translated badly when updated for current use plus they used their black helmet when it should have been yellow. Maybe a version of the '34s would look better. They will probably be using the yellow diamond yoke uniforms from the late 60s. I'm not really a fan of those jerseys at all but i guess i'll wait and see what they do with them. The only other throwback i'd like to see other than the ones they have been using are maybe the all white combination with the yellow diamonds on the sleeves from the early 60s. The likely hood of those being the choice are approximately 0 since it doesn't make sense for them to have an away alt.Personally if they aren't going to keep the same throwback i'd like to see them come up with something new.

PhlyBoy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 From what it sounds like my guess is either the 1967 or 1934 throwback. Now I have zero info on them, I just looked up their uni history and those look the most drastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I honestly can't think of what these might look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 If it's the '33 prison stripes, my mind will be blown. Also, my eyes.

Now I have zero info on them, I just looked up their uni history and those look the most drasticAccording to Paul Lukas, they aren't going to be the 1967 ones. The way people are describing our upcoming reactions, I wouldn't be surprised if they go with the 1934 ones.

SoxSteeler Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 well the 33s have been done before (and not well). i guess i'd rather see the 34s, at least there are numbers on the front. By the way these are the options i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresno St. Alum Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 well the 33s have been done before (and not well). i guess i'd rather see the 34s, at least there are numbers on the front. By the way these are the options i guess.I posted the 1933 jersey and colorwrex said no. Yet he's saying our minds will be blown. 1933, 1934, 1943 would be the only things that would be mind blowing. I can't see them rocking Steagles green. 1933 was their 1st year so it would make more sense than 1934. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I don't even want to see the new alt if the rumors prove to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LourdOfTheFly Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Mind blown? Don't want to see it? Eyes burning?Hopefully this is all hyperbole.Think about it this way. If the Steelers want to A ) make money, B ) honor tradition, or C ) both: they have to go with an outrageous design. Their uniform history is too homogenized to roll out some uniform with a slight change that only a few people like the CCSLC crowd will notice.Go big or go home, and don't suffer the wags.

BBTV Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well they do play the Eagles this year, so maybe a Steagles throwback? Wouldn't make much sense from a marketing perspective though.

IceCap Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Minds being blown, eh? I'll go with the 1934/bottom left set.

WSU151 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe it's the 1979 set, and our eyes are going to be blown because it's not something ridiculous from 80 years ago but rather something kind of normal...you know, a little tongue-in-cheek reverse psychology...Okay, okay, probably the 1934 set if I had to take a guess. I enjoyed the '33s in 1994 and that opinion hasn't changed. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator jr Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe, but that seems a little too similar to their fauxbacks from the past two years. Unless it's the gold one. #craigadams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
