Steelers Set to Unveil Alternate Helmet for 2025 Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to introduce a new alternate helmet in the 2025 NFL season, joining several other teams in updating their look. According to reports from NFL uniform insider Andrew Lind, the Steelers will be one of five teams—alongside the Browns, Chargers, Saints, and Commanders—releasing a fresh helmet design this summer.
This move has sparked excitement and speculation among fans, many of whom are hopeful for the return of the iconic yellow helmets. These were last seen as part of the team’s throwback uniforms in the late 2000s. The most memorable moment in that helmet came in 2007 when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw five touchdowns in the first half against the Ravens, and linebacker James Harrison made headlines with a dominant defensive showing.
Since the NFL reintroduced the two-helmet rule, Pittsburgh has yet to release an alternate shell—making this the first change to their helmet options in years. The update is expected to add a fresh element to the team’s traditional black and gold aesthetic.
While no official design has been revealed yet, the move signals a nod to the franchise’s rich history while embracing a modern approach. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the full reveal later this offseason.
