PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers will wear throwbacks retire the No. 32 uniform of Franco Harris during a ceremony this December that will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, president Art Rooney II announced on Tuesday.

The Steelers will be wearing 1972-era throwbacks for their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 24 — nearly 50 years to the date from Harris’ game-winning catch against the Raiders. Those uniforms will also feature a special patch commemorating the event.
