Steelers pay homage to city and 1933 team with new throwback jerseys featuring Pittsburgh crest
Harkening all the way back to 1933, when the team first came into existence, the new throwback is inspired by the uniforms the very first Steelers players wore on the field.
This throwback uniform "pays tribute to the city that shaped the team, honoring Pittsburgh's enduring influence on the team's identity, spirit and championship legacy," the Steelers said.
The uniforms are inspired by the Steelers uniforms of the 1930s and 1960s. The jerseys have black vertical striping with oversized, black-trimmed white block numbers. The helmets feature a gray mask and matte gold finish.
On the back of the jersey are oversized black block numbers for a "two-tone black and gold color combination." Finally, the pants are beige in a nod to the 1933 khaki uniforms.
The Steelers said the "cornerstone of the jersey," is the City of Pittsburgh crest on the left shoulder. The team calls it a nod "to the team's heritage and deep connection to Pittsburgh."
Steelers president Art Rooney II said in May that the team will wear the new uniforms against the Green Bay Packers during Sunday Night Football in Week 8.
"We're excited to unveil our new throwback uniforms which not only pay tribute to the origins of the Steelers franchise but also to the deep connection we have to our hometown of Pittsburgh," Steelers President Art Rooney II said. "It's especially fitting that we'll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, Oct. 26 when we play the Green Bay Packers - another franchise in the league with a long and rich history."
Rooney also said that the all-black Color Rush uniforms would return during the upcoming season, likely against the Miami Dolphins during "Monday Night Football" in Week 15.

A former NFL champion shares his daily routine to stay fit at 37 — with open water swimming and 200 grams of protein a day
When James Develin retired from the NFL in 2020 after seven seasons (and three Super Bowl wins) with the New England Patriots, it wasn't long before he started looking for the next big challenge. To stay in elite athlete shape after retirement, Develin knew he needed some structure to replace the typical training cycle of the NFL and giving him something to work toward. That meant a marathon and, most recently, a Navy SEAL-style open water swim — grueling events to inspire his multiple workouts a day. "I didn't have a season to start preparing for, so it was a little bit harder to put myself through two-a-days and three-a-days," Develin told Business Insider. As a 37-year-old father of four, Develin is conscious about retaining his strength in a sustainable way. He shared his daily routine with Business Insider — a regimen of running, swimming, and lifting, along with a high-protein diet worthy of his NFL days. From NFL training to Navy SEAL swims Less than a year after retiring from pro football, Develin took on distance running, completing his first Boston Marathon in 2021. In 2023, Develin met an even more ambitious match for his athletic aspirations when his father-in-law signed up for the Navy SEAL Foundation NYC SEAL Swim. The annual fundraiser is held honor of veterans and lives lost in the September 11, 2001 attacks. "I can run, I can lift, I can do all that stuff, but swimming was not my forte and it still isn't. It's been fun to push my own personal limits," he said. The event combines strenuous open water swimming through the turbulent waters of the Hudson with multiple rounds of push-ups and pull-ups, scenic views of the Statue of Liberty, and a race to the finish at the World Trade Center. The SEAL Swim requires grit, endurance, and discipline to complete. Develin decided to join in, despite limited swimming experience and only a month to prepare. "It's such a great patriotic event, but it's also a great test of one's physical prowess, so it checks a lot of boxes for me," Develin said. There's no secret to training for the SEAL swim besides hours and hours of work in the water, according to Develin. "I just started swimming as much as I could every single day. Through the soreness, through the rain days, the day I don't want to do it," he said. Develin, who lives on the Jersey Shore with his wife and four kids, practices in a pool as well as the nearby bay to get experience managing the unpredictability of open water. Develin works out daily for around two or three hours a day, split between shorter sessions of cardio, swimming, and weightlifting to allow him to spend time with his family, too. "I need to sweat before I can really get on with the rest of my day," he said. "I don't really feel like a day was productive unless I get some sort of workout in." Here's a typical day in his routine. Wake up around 5:30 a.m. Hydrate first thing in the morning with a tall glass of water. Supplements: Develin said he goes through phases of trying supplements to find what works, and currently takes amino acids and NAD+ which help with energy and recovery. A morning smoothie provides some protein first thing in the morning. A cardio workout is first on the agenda, typically a long run. After his workout, Develin wakes up his kids and gets them ready for the day before sitting down to breakfast of high-protein staples such as eggs. For a midday workout Develin hits the gym to lift weights for 45 minutes, sometime between 11 am and 2 p.m. Lunch is often a casual, on-the-go option like sandwiches. Often Develin fits in an evening workout to practice swimming, if he can find the time For dinner, Develin gets to sit down and "live a little" since his wife is Italian and loves to cook. The evening meal is often pasta with homemade sauce and more protein (like chicken or beef). Develin is in bed by 10:30 p.m. most nights to get a solid s even hours of sleep. In total, he aims to eat more than 200 grams of protein daily, about a gram of protein per pound of body weight, to help maintain muscle and strength. In the NFL, Develin's job was to absorb and deliver tremendous amounts of force as a fullback. "You have to go out there and be ready for impact constantly," he said. He's kept the same mindset of pushing himself ever since, aiming to stave off aging with constant movement and new challenges, even when his body is a little slower to bounce back than it used to be. "I recover eventually. It just might take a little bit longer now than it did when I was 30, but I just keep grinding," Develin said. "It's good for your endurance, it's good for your mental fortitude, and that's what works for me."

How to watch the 2025 3M Open, the PGA Tour's summer stopover in Minnesota
Golf's major season is in the books, bound and laminated by Scottie Scheffler's Dunluce dominance. There's still much to play for, though. This weekend's 3M Open teases out a prize pot of FedEx Cup points, possible Ryder Cup recognition and more than $8 million in cash. The PGA Tour heads up north to Arnold Palmer's Deacon's Walk, with first-round action starting Thursday morning. Early coverage of each round is available on ESPN+. CBS broadcasts can also be streamed on Paramount+. The course was designed by Palmer and fellow luminary Tom Lehman back in 2000. TPC Twin Cities boasts four par-5 holes (Nos. 3, 6, 12 and the fateful 18th at 596 yards), and it carries a 145 slope rating (by comparison, the Royal Portrush Golf Club at Dunluce comes in at 140). Last year's winner was Venezuelan veteran Jhonattan Vegas, who finished 17 under par and edged Max Greyserman by a single stroke. Advertisement As we approach opening tee-offs, this year's favorites are Americans Chris Gotterup and Sam Burns, each at +1800 outright on BetMGM. The latter has four top-10 placements this PGA season, most notably a second-place finish at the Canadian Open and then tying for No. 7 at the U.S. Open. Burns' hot June has been partially washed out by an underwhelming July; he tied for 45th at The Open Championship last weekend. The 28-year-old Louisianan scored a 70-65-69-69 at the 2024 3M Open, which was good for 12th. He hits the weekend 15th in Ryder Cup standings; the top six golfers make that national team, captained by Keegan Bradley. Gotterup, meanwhile, arrives in Minnesota on a career-defining run. He raised the Scottish quaich on July 13 at The Renaissance Club, beating out Rory McIlroy off the strength of a magnificent second-round score of 61. He followed that up with a third-place mark at The Open last weekend, recovering from an underwhelming first round to net north of a million dollars. Gotterup, who was born in Maryland and played collegiately at Oklahoma, is the hottest player in the field. He'll need another improbable showing to improve his No. 22 spot on the Ryder Cup table. Gotterup tied for 59th at last year's 3M. Maverick McNealy is third in odds at +2000. He's 11th in Ryder and FedEx Cup points. Scottie Scheffler doesn't need to explain himself. The answer is in the beginning Dustin Johnson ponders his future Matt Fitzpatrick can now say his struggles are behind him Oakmont suspends Wyndham Clark for damaging lockers after missing U.S. Open cut Courtesy of The Athletic's sports betting editor Vik Chokshi: My outright bets are usually based on a couple of models I follow, and I take into account course history and form. I also love betting on long shots, so you'll usually see a bunch of golfers in the +2000 or longer range on my card every week. Here are a couple of guys worth sprinkling pizza money on this week: Outright winner picks (odds via BetMGM) Max Greyserman +3300 Emiliano Grillo +4500 Austin Eckroat +9000 (Photo of Sam Burns: Alex Goodlett / Getty Images)

Two PennDOT projects could slow down travel for fans going home from Steelers training camp
As the Pittsburgh Steelers are reporting to training camp today and as the first open practice is held tomorrow, a couple of PennDOT projects could slow down the ride home for fans in attendance at Saint Vincent College. There are two projects going on that will primarily impact the ride home after a fun day at Camp Tomlin. Seasoned Steelers fans know the joys of what traveling along Rt. 30 in Westmoreland County can bring, but this year, it'll be smooth sailing on the way to camp. However, your travel towards Ligonier will be challenging at the end of the day. "If you're leaving training camp and you're heading to the east, you can expect single lane closures in that area," said PennDOT District 12 Assistant Executive Bill Beaumariage. The impacted area is located along the bridge over the Loyalhanna Creek and is down to a single lane in each direction for bridge reconstruction. When camp wraps up around 5 p.m. and you head west towards Greensburg and onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike, expect to see tree trimming crews closing a lane of Rt. 30 between PA-66 and the Turnpike. "That will start at 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., so if you're leaving training camp late, or you're stopping for dinner and you're heading to or from the Turnpike, you might see or might expect some delays in that area," Beaumariage said. The good news this year is that if you're using Rt. 22 and Rt. 981 through Latrobe to get to or from Saint Vincent, the work you encountered last year is gone and that's a construction-free route. For fans going to Saint Vincent on Thursday, the campus opens for parking at 11:45 a.m., the gates open at Noon, and practice starts just before 2:00 p.m.
