Nice catch. Lambert jerseys made out of the same material as the 1970s jerseys. I wonder if we're going to start to see more 70s Steelers jerseys popping up...

Maybe we should look for some pristine white stitching around tags and see what comes up......

Re: Steelers Nylon Durene Jerseys
They've had those jersey's on the market for some time. I remember seeing a Mel Blount and Bradshaw around Christmas time at the Steelers Outlet store. What's scary about them, is that they are all fairly long in length and have the 'designed exclusively for the steelers tag' on them with no other markings whatsoever. When I asked about the availability of other players, they mentioned they were some sort of 'new, old stock' from the original manufacturer of the original jerseys and basically whatever players they had were it.
I'm curious to see what happens with these as well, I almost picked up the Blount but I couldn't justify the price for a retail (albeit a very nice retail) jersey.

Re: Steelers Nylon Durene Jerseys
Has anyone been able to compare first hand- right in front of them (not photos) the similarity or differences between the materials of these stock Steelers jerseys and the real thing from the 70s or 80s?
Is the material exactly the same? Is it more sheer/less sheer? Heavier/lighter?Always looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...

Re: Steelers Nylon Durene Jerseys
Also, do they sell home jerseys only, or away too?

Re: Steelers Nylon Durene Jerseys
Since its a slow day at work today, I called the Steelers Store and inquired about the vintage jerseys.
According to the woman I spoke with, they are NOT available in away white and were currently limited to the stock on hand (Lambert is currently the only one left). She mentioned that they had previously had other players in stock like Blount, Harris and Bradshaw but not Swann nor could Swann be ordered. She also mentioned that it was the same manufacturer as the original game jerseys of the 70's using the same materials and manufacturing process. Also scary is that she mentioned that they were going to be doing custom jobs in the future so I suppose come training camp, maybe be on the look out for Shell's, Greenwood's or White's to come around.
