Throw Those Back

 By Marcus Jensen

Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers to victory this week.

Is it just me, or did it feel like we were watching the Longest Yard this Sunday in Pittsburg? The Steelers looked like they were dressed in prison uniforms.

I just don’t understand why teams use the throwback uniforms. Most times there was a reason why the jerseys were changed in the first place. Yet, each year, it is a tradition. I don’t know if it is because they want to sell more jerseys or if it is a tribute to older teams. Or it might be to disorient the opposing team. The latter worked against me this Sunday.

"There's a reason these jerseys were from 1932..... it's 2012 now though, so send them back!!! lol," tweeted James Harrison, linebacker for the Steelers.

To list some of the worst, you have the Steelers’ bumblebee jersey, the Tampa Bay creamsicle orange, and the blue Green Bay Packer jerseys with brown pants.

Yet there are some that work, the powder blue Chargers uniform, and the old Patriots uniform. These are better than either of their current uniforms.

If it works, use them. Even change the jersey. But if it doesn’t work, spare the eyes of the players and the fans. If they want to bring them out again, thrown them back.
