MY STEELERS ALTERNATE YELLOW JERSEY

[klick81]

Hmm...looks good, but maybe removing the white from the sleeves would make it look even better IMO.

Thanks man! I do like the white away jersey it's just that I think the gold color has a better look and more vibrant and bold. While I personally do not wish for the Steelers to do away with the white altogether they could use the yellow version every so often. I think it would rock!

Thanks so much for the cool comments all! I found a yellow/gold blank jersey WITH spandex sides and cuffed sleeves at a team sports website that sells high school sports jerseys (blank or customized). I bought the blank jersey for $50. I wanted to make the jersey look as much as an authentic pro football jersey as possible. Fortunately I already had an authentic Nike Pro Line Kordell Stewart Steelers jersey, and I unstitched the NFL logo collar patch, the Nike Pro Line jock tag, and cut out the Steelers team logo patch. I also had an extra Jerome Bettis authentic Reebok away jersey (and it was too big for me anyway), and I unstitched the front, back, and shoulder black numbers. I unstitched the Bettis name from the back. The letters were yellow with black underlay. I removed/unstitched the yellow letters and kept the black letters. Then I went to Joann Fabrics and bought a sheet of iron on adhesive paper backing. After I finished ironing the adhesive paper backing onto the numbers, patches, etc, I positioned them onto the jersey and ironed them on. I then went to a reliable seamstress/tailor shop and had them sew the numbers and patches. Finally, I went to a very reputable sports customizing shop and had them stitch the colored stripes onto the sleeves. I then added the black Nike swooshes above the stripes on the sleeves. I was soooo thrilled with the finished product and am really proud to own it. I think it looks pretty durn professional from a nobody like me!

Sorry, I am not taking orders since I can't. This is mainly due to the fact that the only place that was willing to provide and add the stripes onto the sleeves no longer do it. I even had to "persuade" them to do it for me in the first place (even though they were not authorized to do so due to policy!) I can't really disclose much more than that, seriously.
About the elasticated end of the sleeves- I understand. I just could not find a yellow blank with smooth banded sleeves (and I've looked EVERYWHERE). But hey, like I said before, I tried to make this jersey as close to an authentic pro jersey as possible.

I had no idea! That's really cool, but I'd prefer the collar be yellow like the yellow jersey (as the Steelers black jersey has a black collar/ white jersey white collar). Also, the black jersey has yellow and white stripes on their sleeves so I think the yellow jersey should have black and white stripes (exact opposite as the black jersey). This is just my opinion. Where did you get that pic? Source? It's really cool! I totally dig the black pants with the yellow stripe- that's HOT!!

P.S. Never mind, I found the source, thanks for the link dude!

I reckon SMR`s jersey and Borski`s pants.....have you guys thought about approaching the Rooneys with your ideas?
Maybe the Steelers aren`t the best at the moment but they would certainly look the coolest in that strip!

I agree. I think they would look fantastic together like that. That would be great if the Rooneys could be approached with this, but how in the world would I be able to contact them or the Steelers organization? I don't just mean by going to steelers.com, but who and where more specifically should I contact?
