The Pittsburgh Steelers organization unveiled its throwback uniforms that they will wear during selected games of the 2012 season Tuesday.
The team is and will don the throwback uniforms for two games.

“We wanted to use a jersey that we wore early in our history as we celebrate our 80th season,” Steelers’ President Art Rooney II said in a statement. “We have never used those jerseys since the 1934 season and I think our fans will be excited to see our players wear them in action this year.”
The Steelers will wear their traditional black helmets as part of the throwback uniform. The jerseys will be available for order at the beginning of the 2012 season.
