Alert your family: Pirates will wear 1970s throwbacks this season
Hot damn, the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to look good this season. So good, they’ll have fans singing “We-are-family” like it’s the 1970s.
The Pirates confirmed Thursday that they’ll wear these gush-worthy uniforms when they play at PNC Park on Sundays this season. Baseball fans most often associate them with the 1979 World Series-winning team that featured Dave Parker and Willie Stargell.

But, if star centerfielder Andrew McCutchen is any indication, this year’s Pirates will look good in them too.
Here’s a look at the finer points of the uniform, which yes, includes the pillbox cap too. All out, we love it.

If the Pirates — a good team in recent years that hasn’t been able to go on a real postseason run — can now match the 1979 team’s path to the World Series, well, that would really get people in Pittsburgh singing.
