Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers will wear their 1933 throwback uniforms for the first time on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The unveiling of these vintage uniforms has already triggered a wave of fan reactions on X.
One fan wrote, “Easily top 5 worst uniforms I’ve ever seen an NFL team roll out.” Another commented, “Doing Rodgers dirty in his revenge game,” while a third asked, “Oh good lord. Who had the bright idea of greenlighting this abomination?”
More reactions poured in from fans. “I dig the helmets, hate everything else,” one said. Another tweeted, “I’m deada*s going to this game and these made me change my mind — who wants some tickets???” One fan humorously remarked, “If Butterfinger had an NFL team.”
The design of the uniform includes a gold helmet with a gray facemask, khaki-style pants, and black striping paired with oversized block numerals. Pittsburgh’s city crest is prominently displayed on the left chest. Steelers president Art Rooney II confirmed back in May that the new throwback would debut in Week 8.
The uniform pays tribute to the team’s 1933 origins as well as Pittsburgh’s rich industrial identity.

### Aaron Rodgers Chases Rare NFL Milestone in Return to Face Packers
While the uniforms have grabbed headlines, the bigger story centers on Aaron Rodgers’ return to face his former team, the Green Bay Packers. A victory this Sunday would make Rodgers just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 franchises. If he accomplishes this feat, he will join the elite company of Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees.
Rodgers joined the Steelers during the offseason after spending two years with the New York Jets. This season, he has topped 200 passing yards in five games and threw four touchdowns in a narrow loss to Cincinnati last Thursday. After six games, he ranks among the league’s top performers with a 68.6% completion rate.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur shared his perspective on the so-called revenge-game narrative. “We’re playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, who happen to have Aaron Rodgers,” LaFleur told reporters on Monday. “It’s as simple as that. Granted, I mean, we’ve got a lot of respect and love for Aaron. He is a Hall of Famer.”
LaFleur coached Rodgers in Green Bay from 2019 to 2022, adding another layer of intrigue to this high-stakes matchup.
Stay tuned for Sunday’s game as Rodgers and the Steelers don the historic 1933 throwback uniforms for the first time.
