You can picture the scene on the sidelines as this vintage Pittsburgh Steelers sideline cape was worn. Likely a frigid day in western Pennsylvania, or perhaps an even more unforgiving locale, with imposing figures just off the field of play enveloped by these capes and exhaling steady plumes of breath in the bitter cold while a battle is fought just a few feet away. You can probably imagine the NFL Films narration of the scene, too. This magnificent black cape was game worn circa the 1970's and is made of a heavy wool. There is a zipper on the hood and a few team repairs, and "Pittsburgh Steelers" can be found in stark, gold font on the back. The cape has no sleeves, and is perfect for the Steelers enthusiast that wants to own a piece of the gear used on the frozen tundras of the NFL. All items come directly from the Steelers archive and come with an LOA from the Steelers. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Steelers Archives items will be donated to the Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research.
