Anyone Seen the Steelers Throwback Uniforms? OUCH!!!

[N2NH]

They going to wear this throwback uniforms against the Redskins.

So this is the weekend. Back in April, the Steelers unveiled their new (old) throwback uniforms. As you can see, there are a lot of stripes -- and not the flattering kind. We don't say this because they're horizontal but because they're hideous.

Whatever, this is football, not Project Runway, and when the Redskins come to Heinz Field Sunday they'll see 45 grown men dressed in what looks like -- to borrow team president Art Rooney II's words -- "a prison uniform."

The Steelers last wore this get-up in 1934. Miraculously, no one burned all evidence of them the moment the season ended. Seventy-eight years later, Rooney says he thinks "fans will be excited to see our players wear them in action this year."
Uh huh.
Silver lining: If the Steelers can't stop Robert Griffin III by conventional means (like, say, tackling, something they've struggled with this season), there's a decent chance he suffers vertigo from staring at these jerseys for any length of time. So there's that.

OUCH!! Steelers vs Redskins. Be sure to wear your 3-D glasses.

At least they're not adding in those atrocious gold helmets, the ones they used with the throwup, er, throwback uniforms the last few years.

I don't know who picked these out. Rumor is that the NFL office had a hand in it. Whomever it was needs to be called in for a drug test, because they were clearly on hallucenogenic drugs when they did so.

I hope none of the Redskins have epilepsy, those suits could cause seizures. Almost makes me embarrassed to be from Pittsburgh.

Looks like they just broke out of the Allegheny County jail.

Nah. The inmates have better looking uniforms. It's required by law, vis-a-vis "cruel & unusual punishment"
