hockey week Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 These are awesome! Only bad thing is that vintage white is taking over sports.I don't think it's vintage white (I'm assuming you're referring to the pants, because the number boxes are definitely white), so much as the "default leather football pants look" that's been used in the past: I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Sodboy13 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 These are certifiably nuts, and fantastically accurate. Love 'em, and I eagerly await the seizure they'll induce when I see them in live action.

colinturner95 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Looking at the image that was posted earlier in the thread, I figured that I was gonna hate it. Now that I see what it looks like in 2012, I actually like this. Of course, this has absolutely NO staying power in today's day-&-age, but for an anniversary throwback, it's pretty good. Wow.Looks like they won't be going full-on throwback though with that helmet, unless they just bust out a brown helmet in time for the season.Who doesn't like a jersey unveiling in the bathroom?At least Nike made the numbers legible...

hawk36 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As a Bengals fan, I love these.I agree and, as a Seahawk fan, I can't think of a better uniform for the Steelers to wear. That should be their full time set. No need for home and away, these clash with everything!Quite fitting for the Stealers.

maz Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Most Steelers fans seem to hate these uniforms. Most Steeler fans are also uneducated yinzers who don't recognize anything that didn't happen in the 70's or the past 15 years, nor do they seem to understand the concept of a throwback jersey.As for me, I like them, because of the history, because it's a true throwback, and because I just plain think it looks good in an odd sort of way.

Since leather helmets are obviously out, I would have adapted a design using the 1933 city crest logo which appears on those 1994 throwbacks. Put the Pittsburgh city crest on a black helmet, and that would have been an upgrade over using the modern helmet with the retro look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You know what...in this weird, unexplainable way, I actually like them. I can't really pinpoint why. It could obviously use a different helmet, but I just can't bring myself to dislike them. To me personally, I never would have thought that hoops on a football uniform would turn out well, but they look alright here. This is obviously not something I'd ever want them to adopt full time, but for what it is, it's cool. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 These are awesomely bad. In the same way that "The Final Countdown" is a great song. So odd, so different, that I actually love them. I feel like drastic uniform departures like this always inspire a lot of knee-jerk "THEY'RE AWFUL" reactions, but eh. I like different, and this is a historical look, so why not?
