Clownsuits For Sale!

The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like helmeted bumblebees Sunday, with an homage to the ol' 1934 Steelers. (Fun Fact: The Steelers that year went 2-10, beating the BOSTON Redskins twice! Oh, the irony!)

Of course, these unis looked utterly stupid.

Unless you think they looked awesome.

Which maybe 15% of Steelers fans did. And you take that 15% of maybe 1 million (guess?) Steeler fans around the world, assume a merchandise buy rate of 50% of those 15% of that 1 million, and take an average NFLShop.com purchase of $29.99... and well... ah fuck it.

MONEY!

The NFL loves its money, and it will stoop to any gutter level to scoop up even more. The NFL is like a rich guy up to his shoulder reaching into a sewer grate for a shiny nickle.

But hey, nobody got hurt by the stunt (except your eyeballs) and if you don't like it, don't buy it. Yeah, Capitalism!
