A lot of teams do that from time to time – I see it as just pure capitalism/marketing being dressed in the “it’s for tradition” shit.

Steelers win!

You should see green bay packers and the bears throwbacks

They beat the Packers so they can play naked for I care!

You can't go wrong with Silver and Black.

Wouldn't those uniforms be outrageous if combined with this old Denver uniform?

I remember reading somewhere that in the 1930's when the game was much more "run" oriented that the striped uniforms were used to confuse the enemy. Much like the stripes on a zebra in a herd or the "razzle dazzle" paint scheme on WW I battleships.

So they were trying to "blend in" with the refs???
