The Pittsburgh Steelers finally unveiled their "big announcement" after teasing fans for the last 24 hours.
Per the team, the Steelers will be wearing their "Block" Throwbacks on Sunday vs. the Green Bay Packers:
A Secret Advantage?
"I think it's really cool," said T.J. Watt on behalf of the uniform. "It means a lot that we can wear the jerseys they wore and being a part of that tradition is awesome. Those guys still take a lot of pride in what they did, and we take a lot of pride in being able to carry on that legacy and play for the Steelers. That is what makes this organization so special, the true tradition."
"I like the little differences, the little nuances, but it's similar to our standard jersey because that is the tradition we hold," Cam Heyward told reporters. "You see all of the throwbacks that are out there, and they are cool colors and everything, but we have a rich tradition behind it knowing we won so many Super Bowls here. It's special to wear a jersey that resembles those. This game wouldn't be what it is today without them. They paved the way for us. We're just running with it. We are trying to leave the legacy the way they did."
"I think it's awesome," said Kenny Pickett. "The Steelers have such a rich history, and we want to continue that tradition. You think back on all of the great players who wore the jersey before you, especially Franco Harris. Going back to last year and how special that game was and getting that win for him. It will be another special game on Sunday."
That it will be Kenny, as two of the league's most storied franchises square off in a very important contest for both teams.
