True Slash, looks like a mixture of the 33’s and the Bumblebees. I’m particularly fond of the asymmetrical White numbers in the front and Black numbers on the back.

Thinking of getting the Watt throwback jersey but man they are a little pricey.They want about $750 for the authentic throwback helmet.
 
I like them, although, I'd prefer they just stuck with the standard black helmet. But it's still nice.
 
I don't care for them. They will sell a lot of them. The " authentic " ones will probably sell for $180. The " counterfeit " ones will sell for $50. Both will be made with same material, and stitched at the same factory. Oh, the tag might be a little different.

In my experience the knockoffs are BAD. The jersey itself may be ok but the name and numbers are usually terrible. On Field Authentic will go for $350, Fabric lettering will go for $180, the Replica is $149 and the Cheap "game" jersey is $99.
 
HATE THEM. I'd have rather had the bumble bee jerseys than this garbage. DESPISE the tan pants. Well looks like I'm saving a ton of money this year. Thabk God thet'll wear these atrocities once.

Well usually you buy the jersey and wear whatever pants you want with them.
 
Whoa, those are really high prices. You can tell i never buy that kind of stuff.

The stripes on the front are goofy.
 
I have always liked the Yellow helmets. The jersey is just trying to compete with the Browns for ugliest uniforms, but then they showed that they want to be ugliest by using those awful tan pants. I would have rather seen a new alternate instead of that display of magnificent crapitude.

I like everything but the pants.
They should definitely go with black pants,
The helmets are really cool

agreed but the point was to try and mimic the the old pants worn back then.

Ok. My opinion (and it really doesn't matter)...

My initial response is/was "yuck". I'm not in love with them so I guess it'll take some time for them to grow on me.

It takes time for warts to grow on you too...oh wait, same thing.

Wish I could find it, but back when league celebrated its 75th anniversary and we had these jerseys, Greg Lloyd made some comment about not minding them but hated the “grey poupon” pants 🤣😂. The guy didn’t mince words!!!
 
I like these a lot, might even cave in and buy one.
I even like the tan pants & yellow helmet.

But where are yall seeing prices that high?? All I’m seeing in Steelers shop is the $130 option.
 
They look pretty good, especially with the gold long sleeves.

Yeah, they only have the mid-grade and basic replicas right now. I was wrong when I said $150 it was $130. I am waiting for the next model up with the twill numbers and sewn on name plate. I am picky. I picked up a Jesse James Authentic and a fast Willie Parker Authentic at a vintage show in Cleveland last weekend for 60 total.
