Beautiful or Ugly?

Beautiful or Ugly?

By Ryan Kister

The Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to celebrate 80 years of their NFL career. They won’t hold anything back with their uniforms.

The Steelers are bringing back their uniform from 1934. It didn’t help; the Steelers had only 2 wins in only 12 games. They looked interesting doing it.

The jersey is covered in black and yellow stripes and the socks also have the yellow stripes. The pants are a light brown.

This is the Steelers throwback uniforms

“We wanted to use a jersey that we wore early in our history as we celebrate our 80th season," Steelers president Art Rooney II told the team's official website. "We have never used those jerseys since the 1934 season, and I think our fans will be excited to see our players wear them in action this year."

James Harrison, a Steelers linebacker, tweeted "It's 2012 now though, so send them back!!!"

The NFL just switched uniforms from Reebok to Nike. Now the Steelers have a lot of jerseys to choose from. Here's the reaction from Twitter, which was mainly negative:

WrecklessLove: I hope they kept the receipt.

Rastas4Jesus09: Ugliest thing on the planet. Looks like the Browns finally beat us in something.

JasonMcCulla: Looks like they used the yellow and brown from the Denver Broncos throwbacks of last year.

Spectre14: Put some antennae on the helmet and a stinger on the back of their belt and the look is complete.

Ksick2: Those unis make Baylor's camo catastrophe look sexy.

Pjdesantisusc: Represents the old-fashioned uniforms, seems very homemade. I think they're cool. Pittsburgh has always been blue collar!

Stevembk: Better looking than the current Bengals uniform.

Eaglescouch: Suddenly feel better about Eagles throwback yellow unis!

WR Antonio Brown told Steelers.com that the Steelers’ new throwback uniforms make a statement. “It's something special that the 1934 team wore it,” Brown said. “You have to appreciate the value of what a Steelers uniform means. It's not about the look; it's all about the tradition and the history behind it.”
