Steelers reveal new throwback uniforms.

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.

That’s awesome!

How can you tell the difference? I prefer the sewn on names & numbers to the print.
Are the $130 ones up now all the screen printed model? I’m not hip to the style names and differences, but would love to be pointed in the right direction.

$99 is the cheapest that are still even worth considering. the $129.99 Are cut bigger and have better material but still screen printed numbers and letters. The Vapor Limited have twill number and letters but they are heat applied. If you can find a Limited that doesn't say Vapor it is stitched on. The Elites fit very snug and are the closest you can find to the on field but are slightly different. They no longer sell the actual on field Jersey unless you buy it or get it from a player or special event. The limited go $179.99 to $199 the elite are $300+. I much prefer the old Reebok authentics to the Nike Authentics if you can find them from marketplace or vintage sellers. I usually get the limited anymore. If you get the Vapor DON'T dry it.

FYI I used to be the retail director and buyer for the Nashville Predators back in the day and still have my sources in the industry. I sometimes miss that job but Fanatics has a virtual monopoly now on most licensed gear with just a few suppliers compared to the old days. They run all online retail for the NFL, NHL and NBA they bought out Lids/Hat World and other major online players.

big improvement with these new yellow helmets, was hoping the 1967 maybe in 20-30 years they will finally wear them, they look awsome in real life and in madden

It's ok. The only jersey other than 70's jersey throwbacks that I've really liked have been the Color Rush ones. Those to me look badass. Just my opinion.
