? The topic of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 1934 throwbacks, also known as the “Bumblebee” uniforms, came up during a recent Not Just Football episode with Cam Heyward and Christian Kuntz.
The Bumblebee unis were worn from 2011-2016, and Kuntz hopes they remain retired.
“I don’t know about those bumblebees. I hope we don’t bring those back; I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t a big fan,” Kuntz said.
I have to agree with Kuntz on the Bumblebee throwbacks, the striped jerseys and dark tan pants were just not a good look.
? Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara are coming out with a new movie called “Sarah’s Oil” in 2025.
