The Pittsburgh Steelers will wear throwback jerseys, inspired by their Super Bowl victory 50 years ago, against the New York Jets in Week 7. Super Bowl IX, in 1974, holds a special place in the hearts of all Pittsburgh fans, as this important game was when the Pittsburgh Steelers earned their very first Lombardi trophy, kicking off a journey to become arguably the greatest NFL franchise of all time.
The 1974 season not only resulted in winning the greatest trophy in all of professional football, but it was also responsible for perhaps the greatest draft class in Pittsburgh sports history, producing five Steelers Hall of Famers: WR Lynn Swann, LB Jack Lambert, WR John Stallworth, C Mike Webster, and SS Donnie Shell.

The beloved block-number-style jerseys are coming back in Week 7, and along with the classic look, gray face masks will also return, which were part of the iconic look of this phenomenal team. The Steelers will look to dominate the Jets in classic ‘Steel Curtain’ fashion, not only to improve their record to 5-2 on the season but to perform at a level the 1974 Steelers would be proud of.
