Pittsburgh Steelers fans take some amount of pride in the fact that their team has one of the best-looking uniforms in the NFL. Truth be told, the first game I ever consciously watched was Super Bowl XXX, and I pulled for Pittsburgh, not knowing anything about them, because I liked their uniforms.
Still, a number of fans do prefer an earlier variation of the uniform than that which we typically see on Sundays, those being the ‘block number’ uniforms. While the team’s jerseys featured block numbers through many iterations, the iconic plain black and white jerseys were adopted in 1968, and those remained until 1997, when the rounded numbers were introduced.
