Pittsburgh Steelers Team Uniform Revert back to Block Jersey Numbers


We, the Steeler Nation, have debated and come to conclude that in majority, we believe that the classic style "block numbered" jerseys should be reinstated as the team's uniform style. 

It is our belief that this classic jersey style represents a great part of the blue collar tradition and history of the football organization we have grown to know and love.

It is also a desire of ours to see present and future players of our great team once again wear the same jerseys that graced the shoulders of a generation of Steeler teams who not only produced 4 Super Bowl Championships but also a long list of legendary players that are now enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

We ask you to please take our request into consideration in hopes that we can once again see future generations of Pittsburgh Steeler players wearing these jerseys that we feel are so rich with Steeler history as well as giving us the opportunity to purchase and wear this style jerseys of our present and future favorite Steelers.
