Yeah never was a big fan of the Steelers bumblebee throwbacks and the 2025 version isnt much of an improvement 

What they’re wearing tonight 1933 throwbacks, they also wore them once in 1994, I remember Bill Cowher saying the players hated the “Grey Poupon” pants and that they wouldn’t wear them again.

They're in the top 3 for worst uniforms ever.  So incredibly bad.

I've called them the "Bundesliga throwbacks" ever since Keith Olbermann said they looked like a German soccer team when they debuted.

The gold helmets and khaki pants are what make the uniforms look bad, the jersey on it’s own is ok. 
 

That no call on the offsides and the no fumble on the tush push earlier today is why most people think the NFL is rigged.

Yeah, I like the jersey itself. Very rugby looking. I don't even mind the pants, but the helmet is hideous. Would be better if they did a plain tan helmet to mimic leather and match the pants, rather than the jersey

Just turned it on and my first thought was the Steelers were determined to one up the Chargers on the worst uniforms of the season leader board. Dear God.

In the leather helmet days the Steelers painted there’s gold, that’s why they went with gold helmets tonight. When they wore this style of jersey in 1994 they wore plain black helmets and it looked way better than tonight. 
 

The Packer white helmets would look way better if it had a gold stripe down the middle instead of a white one.

There seem to be some color-blind refs tonight who can't call offsides amongst all that green and yellow.

Get em the ref from last night's Michigan/Michigan State game.

The mono yellow Chargers kit recently was truly awful.

LOL.  Sparty got hosed multiple times during that game but especially on that offside.

[Tabe]

 

Yeaaaaah, I don't see any way to like these regardless of helmet and pants colors.

[hammerva]

Last night felt like the Bengals game in that everything the defense did in the 1st half was the complete opposite  in the second half.   Half of that was based on great Jordan Love to Tucker Craft play but man that secondary is massively overpaid and massively weak.  

[BobbyWhioux]

it was a dark day when the sports leagues figured out the marks fans would actually buy replicas of the throwback/alternate uniforms

[DangerMark]

It was a dark enough day when sports leagues realised that people would pay money to watch their teams on TV.

Serves him right after his crybaby sideline performance and lack of leadership.
