Steelers uniforms among top tier in the NFL

The Steelers uniforms are iconic.

When it comes to NFL uniforms, it seems that teams are always trying to re-invent themselves only to find their way back to the originals. One team that has never felt the need to make any drastic changes to their unis are the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bets Dressed did their ranking of all the uniforms in the league and broke them into tiers. For the Steelers, they are in the top tier, and ranked No. 7 overall. Here’s what they had to say about the Steelers:

Pittsburgh is a picturesque football town, and the Steelers have a picturesque football wardrobe. Color scheme is sharp. One-sided helmet logo is delightfully unique. And in a world where all-black uniforms became played out, the Steelers counteract the darkness with a fantastic pop of color from yellow pants. Even when they go full blackout with the Color Rush uniform, yellow accents shine through.

Speaking of blackout unis, Steelers are still best in class. Pittsburgh is also a prime exemplar of two underused and underrated combos: dark-dark-pop of color and dark-white-pop of color.

We agree that the return of block letters would be the icing on the cake for best uniforms in the league. Even in a league that has given some teams gaudy Nike Color Rush unis, the Steelers all blacks are the best in the NFL.

Let’s be honest. Too many NFL teams are trying too hard to re-invent themselves through awful uniform changes. Franchises try too hard to be creative and inventive when the classic looks are always the best.

Every year at Inside Hook, they do a ranking of the best uniforms in the NFL and so we decided to check it out this year and see where the Steelers ranked on Uni Watch.

Pittsburgh checked in at No. 4 out of the 32 teams only behind the Las Vegas Raiders, Green Back Packers and Los Angeles Chargers.

We obviously have a bias but the clean lines of the Steelers uniforms are impossible to top. Nothing neon or pastel or whatever else and teams are trying to trot out to be new and edgy.

One place where the Steelers have a huge edge over the competition is in their alternative uniforms. No, we aren’t talking about the now-retired bumblebee uniforms. Pittsburgh’s Nike Color Rush are easily the best of that iteration of uniforms and the simple but perfect block letters on the throwbacks are maybe the most classic look in the NFL.
