The Steelers’ 80th Anniversary Throwbacks Are an Unforgivable Disaster
Unless the storied Rooney family has recently begun taking fashion nods from relentless burger thief, The Hamburglar, may I ask the Pittsburgh Steelers just what the hell it is that we’re looking at? Are these 80th anniversary throwbacks supposed to serve as some form of cruel punishment?
Did Art Rooney once latch onto the brief, but delightful B. Brian Blair and Jumpin’ Jim Brunzell bandwagon?
So many questions, yet there’s really only one suitable answer: Send these jerseys through a starved wood-chipper. Immediately.

One, the caption is elegantly simple. The unis are crap.
Two, what is the significance of an 80th anniversary? I understand the 75th is the Diamond anniversary, but why celebrate the 80th?
April 17th, 2012 at 5:25 PM
I still think these and these are worse, but yeah, that is pretty awful. My eyes hurt already.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:26 PM
I appreciate that the tiles in the shitter where they decided to take the picture match the uniform.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:26 PM
I am $ure there i$ $ome rea$on for celebrating thi$.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:26 PM
Pittsburgh Bumble Bees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 17th, 2012 at 5:27 PM
Well … But … Shit I got nothing.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:27 PM
Was expecting one of those to be those Eagle ones…these will be fine to watch during a game if you just convince yourself that every player is Bumblebee Man and enjoy his hilarious antics
April 17th, 2012 at 5:29 PM
I may be in the minority, but I’d wear one.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:30 PM
i wouldnt rape a girl wearing that.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:30 PM
These throwbacks are terrible. Teams should only be able to go back so far into the throwback vault.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:33 PM
Of all the linked throwbacks, the Broncos are the least horrible, which is saying something because it mixes the magic of both shit and piss color in a uniform.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:36 PM
Ben you love these uni’s right? Are you going to make them your new business uniform?
April 17th, 2012 at 5:38 PM
So terrible the only player willing to model one for a photo was Isaac Redman.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:38 PM
On second thought, I’ll take those over these.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:43 PM
I wasn’t going to post it publicly, but I am in negotiations to be the official beekeeper of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They give me publicity, I give them honey. It’s all good.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:49 PM
I wouldn’t wear one, seeing as I’m a grown man…but I don’t mind the sight of these as a throwback.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:50 PM
nice rugby kit
April 17th, 2012 at 5:50 PM
Ok. The uniform is awful. But why in the world did they think it was a good idea to photograph him in the bathroom?
April 17th, 2012 at 5:52 PM
My eyes! The goggles they do nothing!

According to the Twitterverse, so as to avoid the media seeing them first before the Steelers could release them…
April 17th, 2012 at 5:59 PM
Is that Barry Foster in that pic? Wow, forgot about him.
April 17th, 2012 at 6:07 PM
Those are certainly awful but who the hell picked the pants color? Black pants with that would help make it less awful.

Isaac Redman @ired33 Close
The bathroom pic was bc we had to hide from the media assholes!
They couldn’t take a picture in someone’s office?
April 17th, 2012 at 6:41 PM
Surprised it wasn’t a picture of Roethlisberger in a bathroom
April 17th, 2012 at 7:08 PM
That’s Art Rooney’s odoriferous office.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:11 PM
the linemen will look very slender…or are those vertical stripes?

Golf, now fashion. spencer, is there anything you cannot do?
April 17th, 2012 at 7:15 PM
Succeed with women
April 17th, 2012 at 9:20 PM
This will be a ease the transition for Roethlisberger’s eventual prison outfit.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:28 PM
As tosh.o would say….”high fashion”!
April 17th, 2012 at 9:58 PM
total crap, but the unis are so hideously bad that they might confuse their opponents.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:59 PM
I think this was supposed to be a post on April 1.
April 18th, 2012 at 10:15 AM
Little known fact: these throwbacks were designed by these guys.
