ALMOST FORGOT... STEELERS' "THROW-BACKS"

Or as Pittsburgh sportswriter Joe Starkey called them "throw-ups." Another comment from Tony Kornheiser, "The Hamburgler runs into a beehive."




It took me a while to figure out how Isaac Redman drew the short straw to display the "thing" until I heard they were from the 1933 season and his number is, unfortunately, 33. Poor choice, man.


They're pretty hideous. One thing you don't really notice are the cream colored pants --as your eyes are distracted by the train wreck above. Funny thing, I was reading online a couple of days before and one site rated this jersey in the top 10 all-time worst NFL uniform. The Steelers don't appear to have vetted this subject fully. Fortunately, they're only going to wear them twice, probably on national TV. 


One thing for sure, they're better than these.



Still stripes  (and they don't match) but, as a chemical engineer, I'm wondering why the superscripts in "H2O2?" I know, it's the Three Stooges!
