More details emerge of Steelers new throwback uniform and helmet

It has been known for quite some time now, dating back to the 2025 NFL schedule release, the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to be getting a new throwback uniform and helmet design in 2025. The team will wear these uniforms on Sunday Night Football vs. the Green Bay Packers.

Art Rooney II had this to say about the throwbacks:

“We are going to have a new throwback uniform this year, and with a new helmet to go with it,” said Rooney. “We’re planning to wear our new throwbacks for the Packers game on Sunday night, Oct. 26. It’ll be fun to wear our throwbacks against one of the older franchises in the league – that just seems to be appropriate. We’ll be doing our color rush uniforms late in the year. I think we’re going to do it for the Monday night game on Dec. 15 against the Miami Dolphins.”

So, a new throwback and helmet design are on deck, but we haven’t heard any new details, that is until Andrew Lind of SportsLogos.net released the following information:

“On July 21, the Pittsburgh Steelers will unveil new yellow throwback helmets and matching uniforms, which our sources have now indicated will not be their current Color Rush design, but rather more closely resemble the throwback uniforms they wore from 2007 to 2011, as the striping pattern on the sleeves differs slightly.”

The throwbacks Lind is citing in the above quote are the ones the team is wearing in the image accompanying the article. If they aren’t going to wear the same exact throwback uniforms, what are some options? I dove into that topic shortly after the schedule was released, and you can read that article HERE.

The team has options, and if they were to honor a previous team who had yellow helmets, the options are certainly limited. They could go back to 1933 and the city crest uniforms, the all white uniforms with yellow shoulders, or the famous “batman” uniforms which are all black and a gold triangle which goes from shoulder to shoulder, and sternum to back. However, the “batman” uniforms were worn with a black helmet.
