The Pittsburgh Steelers are probably not going to win any awards for the throwback uniform they debuted on Sunday night.
The Steelers rocked an alternate jersey design against the Green Bay Packers that paid homage to the team’s first-ever uniforms from their inaugural 1933 NFL season. The threads paired a bright-yellow-and-black top with nude-colored pants and yellow high socks.

Several fans took to social media to express their dislike for the uniforms. Some saw the similarities to traditional mustard bottles, while others felt like the khaki pants made the players look like they were half-naked.
The Steeler uniforms are hideous. Yellow on nude on yellow. 🤮 What blind committee authorized this atrocity? 🙈 pic.twitter.com/wGytFDu18K

Others took it a step further, dubbing the Steelers’ throwback jerseys among the worst uniforms in history.
I challenge someone to show me any NFL uniform in history worse than these Steelers uniforms, because these just might take the crown as the worst of all time. 🤮 #NFL #SNF pic.twitter.com/z9SXnODpGg

Uniforms aside, the Steelers have exceeded expectations so far this season. Pittsburgh entered Sunday’s contest against the Packers with a 4-2 record, placing them atop an injury-ravaged AFC North.
The Steelers are already considering another year with Aaron Rodgers as the team’s starting quarterback. As long as Rodgers continues to pile on wins, fans probably won’t care too much about what sort of uniforms the team has on.
