    There were no major changes to the Pittsburgh Steelers' jerseys when Nike revealed the new uniforms earlier this month but the Steelers plan to have a new/old look for the upcoming season according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. The team is holding a news conference Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. ET to unveil their throwback jersey to commemorate its 80th anniversary in Pittsburgh. In 2007, to celebrate their 75th season, the Steelers wore a variation of their early 1960s uniforms that featured gold helmets with black stripe, black jerseys with gold numbers and stripes, and white pants with black-and-gold side stripes. Pittsburgh has worn these throwback jerseys twice a year, including 2011 home games against the Ravens and Browns.
