Aaron Rodgers and Steelers to wear 1933-style throwback uniform vs. Packers in Week 8
The Pittsburgh Steelers will debut new throwback uniforms when they host the Green Bay Packers in primetime in October this season. The Steelers unveiled the throwback uniform, inspired by the team's 1933 uniforms, on Monday. The look features yellow helmets, yellow uniforms with black striping, beige pants and yellow socks. The helmets include the Steelers logo on the side, and the uniforms have a City of Pittsburgh crest on the left shoulder. The Packers face off with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers on Oct. 26 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh for Week 8's "Sunday Night Football" showdown. Per the Steelers, the throwbacks "define grit, resilience and the soul of the Steel City football." From Steelers president Art Rooney II: "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. It's especially fitting that we'll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, October 26 when we play the Green Bay Packers – another franchise in the league with a long and rich history." On one hand, the throwback uniforms will add some old-time spice to the first ever matchup between Rodgers and the Packers. On the other hand, the throwbacks will rob viewers of a near-perfect traditional uniform matchup between the Steelers and Packers. The Packers are expected to reveal a new throwback helmet and/or uniform for the 2025 regular season early on in training camp.

Steelers pay homage to city and 1933 team with new throwback jerseys featuring Pittsburgh crest
The Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday unveiled new throwback uniforms ahead of the team's arrival at training camp this week. Harkening all the way back to 1933, when the team first came into existence, the new throwback is inspired by the uniforms the very first Steelers players wore on the field. This throwback uniform "pays tribute to the city that shaped the team, honoring Pittsburgh's enduring influence on the team's identity, spirit and championship legacy," the Steelers said. The uniforms are inspired by the Steelers uniforms of the 1930s and 1960s. The jerseys have black vertical striping with oversized, black-trimmed white block numbers. The helmets feature a gray mask and matte gold finish. On the back of the jersey are oversized black block numbers for a "two-tone black and gold color combination." Finally, the pants are beige in a nod to the 1933 khaki uniforms. The Steelers said the "cornerstone of the jersey," is the City of Pittsburgh crest on the left shoulder. The team calls it a nod "to the team's heritage and deep connection to Pittsburgh." Steelers president Art Rooney II said in May that the team will wear the new uniforms against the Green Bay Packers during Sunday Night Football in Week 8. "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," Steelers President Art Rooney II said. "It's especially fitting that we'll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, Oct. 26 when we play the Green Bay Packers - another franchise in the league with a long and rich history." Rooney also said that the all-black Color Rush uniforms would return during the upcoming season, likely against the Miami Dolphins during "Monday Night Football" in Week 15.

Steelers President Art Rooney's grandson slams paying T.J. Watt as 'insane'
Everyone has an opinion on whether or not the Steelers should break the bank on T.J. Watt — and that includes Patrick Rooney Jr. Patrick, grandson of Steelers president Art Rooney II, recently gave his two cents on the contractual situation that's taken Steel City headlines by storm. On Wednesday's Palm Beach Kennel Club Picks podcast, Rooney completely dismissed the idea of paying Watt at a premium on a new extension: Advertisement 'T.J. is a great player, great Steeler — insane to pay him anything right now,' Rooney said. 'Absolutely insane. He's 31 years old. But again, if you're going all-in this year, then you're going to have to re-sign him. You're making moves right now that you're trying to do something this year. That, to me, based on anything you've seen the last few years, seems insane.' Watt wasn't the only Steeler Pat Rooney Jr. took aim at — he also categorized new Steelers DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey as 'headcases.' It's worth mentioning that Patrick isn't part of the Steelers front office and has no authority in organizational decisions, but it's still an intriguing take from a member of one of the most prestigious families in all of sports. Regardless, insiders agree that Watt could be set to become the highest-paid defender in the league — with some even predicting he could become the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.
