Renowned World's Strongest Man competitor Jon Kolb spent 13 years on the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line, playing both tackle and guard positions over a notable 13-year career. During the 1976 season, Kolb wore this white road jersey with black number 55 sewn on the front, back and shoulders. His name is stitched on the back in yellow with black outline. There is Size 50 Sand Knit tagging on the tail, as well as a white swatch with the year 76 stitched in. Perhaps most notable are the custom-hemmed sleeves. The uniform shows very nice use and is all-original, with stains, fraying and a noticeable repair on the left sleeve. Kolb was a part of four Super Bowl champion teams in the Steel City.

Never before has a major sports franchise opened its team archives going back nearly a century. Let alone a franchise as historic as the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Founded in 1933 by Art Rooney Sr., the Rooney Family imprint remains to this day.  From the glory of the Steel Curtain to an NFL-best six Lombardi trophies, the Pittsburgh Steelers name defines excellence and winning.  We present the latest offering of “The Pittsburgh Steelers Archive of Exceptional Jerseys.” For decades, the Pittsburgh Steelers have guarded and saved their own equipment, thereby creating a huge void in the sports marketplace.  As a result, the Pittsburgh Steelers have become the crème de la crème. The rarest and most sought after game equipment of any National Football League team.  We were not there in 1922 when they first opened King Tut’s Tomb or discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls.  But now, perhaps we all know a bit about how that felt. All items will come with a letter of authenticity from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Lelands.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Steelers Archives Jerseys will be donated to the Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research.
