When you talk about Steelers football, you’re talking about legacy. Grit. History. A city and a team that go hand in hand. This season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are honoring that legacy in a big way — unveiling newly redesigned 1933 throwback uniforms set to debut under the primetime lights on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.
This isn’t just a uniform drop — it’s a tribute to where it all began.
The Steelers’ 2024 throwback pays homage to the franchise’s first-ever season in 1933, but with modern updates that elevate the look while keeping the roots intact. It’s a perfect blend of vintage detail and new-school energy, and the rollout is as thoughtful as the design itself.
“We're excited to unveil our new throwback uniforms, which not only pay tribute to the origins of the Steelers franchise but also to the deep connection we have to our hometown of Pittsburgh,” said Steelers President Art Rooney II. “It’s especially fitting that we’ll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, when we play the Packers – another historic franchise with deep NFL roots.”
The uniform tells a full story — from helmet to pants — with every piece dialed in to reflect Pittsburgh pride and football heritage:
Gold jersey with bold black stripes and white block lettering trimmed in black
The City of Pittsburgh crest on the left shoulder — a direct nod to the hometown connection
Black block numbers on the back keep it clean and classic
Matte gold helmet with a black center stripe and gray facemask — one of the most talked-about elements so far
The fit is completed with beige pants, tying the look together with a throwback twist
Linebacker Alex Highsmith summed up the vibe perfectly: “The first time I saw it, my jaw dropped. We haven't worn a jersey like that in a while. It's all so cool... the helmet is just sick.”
Tight end Pat Freiermuth echoed the excitement: “The yellow helmet is sweet. It gets players excited. It gets fans excited. After we wear them, I want to keep that helmet forever.”
The players are fully locked in — not just because of the new look, but because of what it represents. It’s not just about flash. It’s about representing decades of greatness and a city that lives and breathes Steelers football.
Unveiling the throwbacks on Sunday Night Football, with the entire nation watching, isn’t just smart — it’s symbolic. This is Pittsburgh’s time to shine, not just in the standings, but in style. The uniform is a visual reminder of where the Steelers started, how far they’ve come, and the pride that continues to define the franchise.
“It’s an honor to wear these uniforms, knowing the history of this organization,” said Highsmith.
“We’ve got to wear it with pride.”
