I've got the Steelers-Colts game on

[jmowreader]

Is there a reason they dressed the Pittsburgh team in prison uniforms?

3. Throwbacks!

I think they're kind of cool.

4. (I think maybe it's a test-marketing scheme--they're thinking of changing the team name.....

...to "Pittsburgh Bumblebees".......)

(GOD, those are UGgly uniforms!!)

[jmowreader]

5. That's one possibility

The other, is that when the cops come in to pick up this week's batch, they'll already be dressed correctly.

7. Hah!

I thought they looked like a bunch of bumblebees too!


OTOH, I'm watching the Packers/Saints game, and the Saints look like a bunch of black ants in their "home" uniforms

6. Those are definitely fugly...

I don't understand how anybody, of any era, could find those unis attractive.

10. I think it's a neat period piece to see how team uniforms have evolved.

The socks did it for me.

But all they needed were stingers and antennae.

15. +1

"But all they needed were stingers and antennae."

12. This question always comes up when the throwback uniforms are worn.

The Steelers had one of the more recognizable -- and ugly -- rigs in the Old Days. I think it would be even funnier if they dispensed with helmets as they did in 1934. I doubt it would matter much, concussion-wise.

16. I wonder what's their favorite cereal.
