Steelers Bringing Back '70s Dynasty Uniform Look

PITTSBURGH, PA — When the Steelers take the field Sunday night against the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium, they will wear throwback uniforms recalling the 1974 team that gave birth to a football dynasty.

The uniforms will feature block numbers and letters and a commemorative Super Bowl IX patch. Super Bowl IX was the first of six the Steelers have won.

This year’s throwback uniforms also feature for the first time gray facemasks on the helmet, a nod to the facemasks worn in the early 1960s through much of the 1970s, including the 1974 season.

"As we approach the 50th Anniversary of Super Bowl IX we think it is a good time to celebrate
the team that ushered in an era of great success," Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a statement. "We're excited about being able to celebrate that pivotal time in Steelers history and honor the team that started it all."
