I like the way that the Steelers uniforms are basically the same as they were then, but in 1966 they had the gold on the shoulders, they should use this style for their throw back uniforms.
Forget about it, they played a game in Dallas on October 30 ,1966 true story, someone asked Dan Rooney " Did you break out these jerseys for Halloween?😂"
Glad you do. The 1966-67 Pittsburgh Steelers "Batman" unis aren't the worst uniforms in the history of NFL; the 1960-61 Denver Broncos togs are considered the worst.
Middle linebacker, Saul, explained that Coach Austin's practices were grueling to the point that, by game time, the team was often already tired and beat up. Perhaps, if Austin had gone easier on the team, they might have, at least, had a break-even record. And, no way were they going to allow themselves to be upset by the expansion Falcons. They hamnered the birds. Beating mighty Cleveland was a big win, something to be proud of. To me, Saul embodied that team in the way that Butkus embodied the Bears. That Pittsburgh defense was scrappy and nasty. Browns' Leroy Kelly, in recalling their games with the Steelers then, said Pittsburgh's defense, "was no party." Read that in a sports magazine long back.
I was born in 1966 and became a Steelers fan in 1975. My dad was from Uniontown, Pa. The Steelers were Always a hard hitting football team even in the years when they were losing. I played some football & spent six years in the Army. Today's League is a Woke joke and painful to watch because of how soft the game has become. Some are quick to point out that today's players are bigger, stronger, faster, etc. Those attributes do Not equate to physical & mental toughness and those players had those qualities in spades. Thanks for uploading this little gem.
What is "woke?" You don't even know. Let me tell you what's behind it: Huddy Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly, said in the late 40's regarding black musicians getting paid well enough for the music they were creating by white owned recording industry. He told a friend that if he didn't realize they were being ripped off, they weren't "woke!" Get a clue: Harris 2024!
The QB #14 for the Cardnals was a former Steeler Terry Nofsinger. This was also the rookie year for QB Jim Hart who would go on the be the Cardnals QB for the next 17 years starting the 67 season.
@@Bigchet1223 Yes, you are correct. I forgot about Mansfield who played center before the arrival of Mike Webster. Hard to believe Webster played in 9 Pro Bowls and Mansfield none. May they both RIP along with Andy Russell who should be in the NFL HOF.
@TTony-tu6dm no. They lost to Chicago. It was the bears only win that year. Had the steelers won that game it could altered history. Bradshaw could have been drafted by the bears. In 1969 the Steelers won their first game vs Detroit. Lost their next 16 games going into the 1970 season.
@@michaelleroy9281 they were in the playoff "bowl" in 1962. Lost to Detroit. When second place teams played each other. It was basically an exhibition game.
The years between Bradshaw and Roethlisberger they had some poor qbs as well. Stoudt,Malone,Bubby Brister, o donnell, Tomczak,kordell,Kent graham,Tommy Maddox. Etc. Although many of them took them to the playoffs none of them were stand out. O donnell ɓlew super bowl xxx. Kordell always choked in big games. Less than stellar qb play for sure.
In 1963, Ed Brown passed the Steelers to a 7-4-3 record. He succeeded Bobby Layne as the starter. The next season, Brown floundered and for the remainder of the 1960s, the Steelers went thru a parcel of quarterbacks-Bill Nelsen, Ron Smith, Kent Nix, Dick Shiner, Terry Hanratty. None produced well until the arrival of #1 draftee Terry Bradshaw in 1970.

Have had the same helmets since 1962. They used the "batman" uniforms from 1966 through 1968.
I think that they should bring them back permanently, especially now that the sleeves are so short it's hard to do the sleeve stripes justice

@@Bigchet12231966 and 1967 only 1968 the jerseys worn to this day took the field that season
@@Bigchet1223 Yeah, they only wore those jerseys from 1966 through the 1968 preseason.
Awesome to watch--Love those old uniforms too. A very neat era of football--Thanks for posting this!
A terrific look of the 1966 Pittsburgh Steelers-and the infamous "Batman" uniforms they wore.
I liked them.

I have one of those black "Batman" jerseys, I too wish they would wear them as throwbacks!

Andy Russell was the only Steeler of significance to be part of the Super Bowl Steelers.

Where tf did you find this😂😂😂😂 haha great find
Chuck Noll .....coming from the Enemy and Vanquishing the NFL
Kicker Mike Clark would win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys.
STEELERS MAKE IT TOUGH by APOLOGETIX a great football song
Accept for a 34-34 tie in the 1st game of the 1966 season the Steelers either won big or lost big. Mostly lost big 5-8-1.
Man Pittsburgh was SO bad for SO long
And this was one of their "better" bad seasons. Lol. 5-8-1. They were 2-12 in 1965. 4-9-1 in 1967,2-11-1 in 1968 and 1-13 in 1969.
@@Bigchet1223 agreed. And 1969 cuts me up because their one win was against Chicago, who ALSO went 1-13!
@TTony-tu6dm if they had won that game it could altered history. Mainly Terry Bradshaw.

@@Bigchet1223 You’re right, my bad. Got it backwards.
Years between Bobby Layne and Terry Bradshaw the Steelers were very bad
Except 1963 they were 7-4-3 and had a chance for first place going into the final game of the season which they lost to the Giants 33 -17
