The Steelers are playing host to the Packers from Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night in the penultimate game of the NFL's Week 7 slate, and they're rocking some pretty interesting uniforms.

As seen in the video below, Pittsburgh is donning its 1933 throwback set—which features gold jerseys with black stripes, a gold helmet, gold socks and beige pants.

Needless to say, these Pittsburgh uniforms may be overshadowing Aaron Rodgers' first game against his former team. We'll see if the 41-year-old can play better than he looks and bring the Steelers to 5-2 on the 2025 season.
