Throwback uniforms shake up Steelers nation

Zoom in: The new throwbacks have yellow jerseys with black vertical stripes, beige pants and a yellow (or matte gold if we are being official) helmet, complete with the Steelers' logo just on the right side of the helmet.

• The design is an homage to the team's first uniforms in 1933, honoring the legacy of the city's favorite franchise.
• The Pittsburgh city crest will be displayed on the jersey's left shoulder.

What they're saying: Though excitement is growing for another Steelers season, the new jerseys are polarizing Steelers nation.

• Several fans on social media criticized the beige pants, but many approved of the yellow helmets.
• "This is the Steelers throwback jerseys this year 🤮," Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 FM radio posted on X.
• "I support anything that pays homage to the Steelers' early (and largely forgotten) days. 1933 throwbacks? Sign me up. This is awesome," Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot posted on X.

Flashback: The last time the team wore yellow helmets was in the 2011 season.

Catch up quick: The offseason has been filled with high-profile moves leading to some optimism that the Steelers can win a playoff game for the first time since 2017.

• Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was signed to a one-year deal in June.
• Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DK Metcalf was traded to the team in the offseason.
• Perennial All-Pro TJ Watt recently signed a new contract with the Steelers.

💭 Ryan's thought bubble: Including the city seal is a nice touch, but the jerseys are a bit messy. I love the yellow helmets!

What's next: The throwback uniforms will debut Oct. 26, during the Steelers' game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.
