The reaction to the new Steelers throwback jersey has been, for the most part, negative.
Joining the chorus of boos is Steelers linebacker James Harrison.
“There’s a reason these jerseys were from 1932,” Harrison said on his Twitter and Facebook accounts. “[I]t’s 2012 now though, so send them back!!!“
Actually, the jerseys are from 1934. But the point is the same. He doesn’t like them.

There was a pretty important “lol” at the end of that quote that you left out. Makes it sound a bit different.
They will be useful as a secondary uniform in the new SFL.
James Harrison is well known for his thoughful, articulate, and intelligent observations.
Me neither! They should try black pants to match helmet with the white jersey. It’s not a throwback look but sure would look nice.
they remind me of the bumble bee guy off of the simpsons
They suck just like the team that will be wearing them. 6-10 this year.
Prison stripes.
At this point, I think it’s fair to ask: does James Harrison like anything? Does he have the physical capacity to like? Does he like what he had for breakfast, or nice sunny days, or a reading a nice book with a cup of cocoa? Something? Anything?
Instead of sending the steelers to London they figure will bring ugly rugby jerseys to Pitt
Bumble Bee! Lol!
Ha ha! They are gonna look like a bunch of jackasses!
They look like Roller Derby Jerseys.
The bumble-steelers.
I don’t blame James . . . these unis are atrocious . . . their mascot, Steely McBeam, probably wouldn’t condone them, let along wear one either.
Ugly. Disturbingly ugly.
Butt ugly. AND they look like prison uniforms from the 1930s. Perfectly named, though…they deserve to be thrown back.
These will be, without a doubt, the worst uniforms of all time once they step on the field. Only the baseball uniforms with the shorts give it a run.
These are by far the worst throwbacks I have ever seen…I wish I could erase the memory of seeing them.
Horrendous.
Guess who is going to get run out of West Virginia?
looks like the “Stealers” will arrive at the stadium from a bus that came directly from County Jail to play in a Convict vs Free-Man football match.
God awful…
Looks about as ugly as the Pit fans I see around. Squares behind the numbers for the squares that will be wearing them.
Probably the only time ever I’ll agree with Harrison but obviously he’s right. They couldn’t have gotten fuglier if they tried.
They are so bad that even the mannequins refuse to show their faces when they are wearing them.
I cant remember the last time I did not watch a Steeler game….
I may listen to the game the day they wear these….
Jail bird unis!!!!!
They look like something prisoner should wear on a chain gang.

He likes guns..
Not bad for the ex cons that are wearing them
These uniforms are about as ugly as his explanation for why he hit Colt McCoy in the head
The Steelers will be entering the next FIFA tournament, and didn’t want to have to spend money for extra jerseys, so they’re just wearing these for both games of “football”.
I know I’m on my own here but I love the look. Mind you I am from Australia and I’m used to Rugby jerseys.
They’re awful, but they’ll only be worn for one game and then they’ll be put away only to be brought up among the bad alternate uniforms in NFL history.
I mean, the Broncos, Bears, and Eagles have had some horrible throwbacks in their time.
looks like a rugby jersey.
It’ll look better after it gets some Cleveland Browns blood all over it.
These uniforms truly are throwbacks! LOL!!!
It looks like Waldo ran into a bee
Oh, come on… the throwbacks aren’t so bad… why they are missing a golden opportunity here, the team could stage it’s own version of “Oh Steelers, Where Art Thou”. Coach Tomlin could play Delmar, James Harrison would be a natural as the perpetually enraged Pete Hogwallop and Big Ben would be perfect as Ulysses Everett McGill. I smell an Oscar. Well, I smell something….
@b1unt3d – you’re right, I forgot about that!
Horrible. Not every team was as good as the Bears back in the day at designing uniforms.
WTF!
it really don’t matter if he likes. the new throw back uniforms. he is a punk anyway.
These uniforms are effin great!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see the Steelers wear them! (Of course I’m not actually a Steelers fan!)
In reality though, they look more like throwup jerseys than throwback jerseys!
you are PAID to play football not to share your views on the uniform!
WTF
Still looks like a prison jersey…
A cross between a bumble-bee and a school bus. maybe they will distract the other team?
Hines is thinking thank god I retired. These uniforms are worse than anything he had to wear on Dancing with the Stars !!!!!
“O Brother Where Art Thou?”
James Harrison, for once, is speaking for NFL fans as a whole methinks.
Browns fan here.
Those uniforms are butt ugly.
They’re perfect.
It looks like the punchline to a joke.
What do you get when you cross a yellowjacket with the Shawshank Redemption?
Cleveland Browns fans approve of these uniforms.
Bahahah, James Harrison finally says something intelligent.
They look like prison uniforms.
No, they look like the shirts that Black Bart had on when Ralphie shot him with his Red Ryder BB Gun.
Hilariously horrible.
Awful. If I had to wear that, I’ll pay Harrison’s fine/lost wages for teeing off on my brain with his helmet at full speed.
I think they confused “Throwback” with “Throw up”.
These uni’s are so bad O’ Brother Where Art Thou and Life wouldn’t even use them. Completely terrrible, with an extra r.

Sorry, the Browns uniforms just look plain and old. These Steelers unis look just plain old stupid. There is a difference.
These are even more hideous than those yellow and brown Bronco throwbacks. What an embarrassment it’ll be for these guys to have to wear those. Ouch.
I’ve heard many people state that these jerseys are “no good”.
I disagree… they are “good”.
“GOOD” FOR A LAUGH, THAT IS!
lol!
