2000 Pittsburgh Steelers season 2000 Pittsburgh Steelers season The 2000 Pittsburgh Steelers season was the franchise's 68th season as a professional sports franchise and as a member of the National Football League. The season began with the team trying to improve on their 6–10 record from 1999 in which they failed to qualify for the playoffs. While Pittsburgh did improve to 9–7 and had their first winning season since 1997, it was not enough for the team to qualify for the playoffs. This season also marked the Steelers' last at Three Rivers Stadium. Coach Bill Cowher named Kent Graham as the team's starting quarterback
Logos and uniforms of the Pittsburgh Steelers appear on the front of the throwback helmets. The Steelers re-introduced gold helmets in 2007, paired with their 1962 throwback uniforms. The gold helmets featured the current Steelers logo rather than the original version of the Steelmark that was worn in 1962, and were also paired with black facemasks. These helmets continued to be used through the 2011 season. When the Steelers replaced the 1962 throwback with the 1933 horizontally-striped "bumblebee" throwbacks in 2012, the team retired the gold helmets. The Steelers have made only a few changes to their jerseys over the years. Originally, the team had vertically-striped jerseys
