Subdeacon Joe Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Well, it is a "throwback" uniform. They take it off and it's "thrownback" to the corner of the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 They should change their name to the Pittsburgh killer bees Agreed. Saw them for the first time 2 or 3 seasons ago. Some things are best left in the dustbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Superstition runs amuck in sports but it does have limits. No limits that I've noticed. One year, when the cowboys were doing really well (in the 90's), I noticed that if I took a drink every other play it'd be a good play and if I messed up the sequence, they'd have bad plays till I got back on track. I kept that junk up for nearly a decade Still won't record or bet on a cowboy game because it's bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anvil Al #59168 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Actually those damn shirts are popular in Pittsburgh. I heard them talking about that on a sports radio show. Said they really do sell a lot of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Doggle Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Come on guys, it takes a "Real Man" to step out on the field in one of those uniforms. IIFC several years ago a lot of the teams were warning "Retro" uniforms on occasion. Some of them brought back some pretty good memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Bob, is there a reason for #79's socks? Like "straight is offense and twisted is defense"? Or his mama never tell him about keeping his seems straight? I don't follow football, but I keep hearing about NFL players getting arrested - dog fighting, domestic abuse, drugs, what-have-you - and I have to wonder of that "retro chain-gang" look was a good choice or a bad one.

Some of the players wore them like that and some didn't . They might have been protesting. I sincerely hope they don't trot those out again. They were worn in 60 and 61. The socks were burned in 62 because the players and coaches hated them so much. History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burt Blade, #25657 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 What was with the "jailbird" suits for the Steelers? Or are they now the Stealers? ...but they about stole that game, goalposts and all. 522 yards passing and 6 touchdown throws. wow The safety was just salt in the wound. Maybe those suits are like the old-style disruptive paint on ships? Can't quite get the rangefinders to focus, so the opponents are always misjudging range, speed, and direction. just ... wow.

Ramblin Gambler Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You'd think if anyone was going to be hurt by misjudging distance, speed and direction, it would be the QB as he was trying to throw the ball deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
