The Pittsburgh Steelers are bringing history to life with the unveiling of their all-new 1933 Throwback Uniforms, set to debut on Sunday Night Football, October 26, 2025, against the Green Bay Packers at Acrisure Stadium. This special edition uniform pays tribute not only to the 1933 Steelers team—the franchise’s inaugural season—but also honors the deep roots and rich legacy of the City of Pittsburgh. Steelers President Art Rooney II expressed excitement about the throwbacks, emphasizing the connection to Pittsburgh’s proud football heritage and the league’s longstanding traditions. "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," Rooney said. “Debuting them on primetime against the Packers — another historic franchise — makes it even more special.” The throwback uniform features a striking gold jersey accented with bold black stripes and large white block letters trimmed in black across the front. A distinctive City of Pittsburgh crest adorns the left shoulder, symbolizing the franchise’s hometown pride. The back showcases large black block numbers for a classic yet clean look. Complementing the jersey, the helmet boasts a sleek gold matte finish with a gray facemask and a bold black stripe running down the center, a fresh look that players are already raving about. The ensemble is completed with beige uniform pants, delivering a cohesive vintage style that Steelers players and fans alike can celebrate. Linebacker Alex Highsmith shared his enthusiasm: “The first time I saw it, my jaw dropped because we haven’t worn a jersey like that in a while as a team. The yellow matte helmet is just sick — it’s a cool new look. I’m really excited to wear it.” Tight end Pat Freiermuth echoed these feelings, saying the helmet change “gets players excited. It gets the fans excited. It’s something cool to showcase.” This uniform not only amps up team spirit but also adds a historic edge to the Steelers-Packers primetime showdown, turning heads across the league and energizing fans everywhere. Players are committed to honoring the legacy each time they step on the field wearing this jersey. Highsmith reflected on the significance: “It’s an honor to wear these knowing the history of this organization and all the players and people who have come before us. We have to wear it with pride and put our best foot forward.” Freiermuth added, “Pittsburgh is one of the most historic franchises in all of sports, not just football. These jerseys are going to be talked about for a long time.” Fans can also shop the Steelers Legacy Collection featuring these new throwback jerseys and gear, bringing a piece of history home. Whether you're a lifelong Steelers supporter or a new fan, this throwback season is a must-watch moment that combines the best of past and present.
