Intriguing how the black and yellow can contribute to the most horrid throwback uniforms in the history of football and also be the most clean and gorgeous color rush uniforms. But these are the uniforms the Steelers were meant to wear. Some of the cleanest uniforms of the bunch. Houston TexansĪvoided red (good move), and I absolutely love the desaturated navy color. Except those helmets, the gradient needs to go across the whole helmet like the original concepts. I’m on the other side and think that they represent the “color rush” concept to near perfection.

While I don’t love the shade of blue, I can’t imagine doing much better with what they had to work with. These get praise for being so much better than their horrible standard jerseys.
