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

Can't watch any more of #Redskins. Instead, I'll spend next 3 hours making Steelers-throwback Halloween costume.

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