The Pittsburgh Steelers debuted throwback jerseys, originally worn in the 1934 season, in Sunday's 27-12 victory over the Washington Redskins.
Soon after the players took the field, Twitter lit up with reactions to the stripped ensembles. Take a look:
Even in 1934, these jerseys were probably ugly. #steelersthrowbacks

If "Bumblebee-themed Showgirl" is what the Steelers were going for with these throwback unis ... well then congrats on the huge success!

I don't care what the Steelers are wearing as long as they end up on top of the scoreboard I'm okay with it #SteelersThrowbacks
