Legendary Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Mean Joe Greene wore these red pants during the 1975 Pro Bowl and the offered white shirt during Pro Bowl practices. Greene led the Steelers to their first ever Super Bowl title in the 1974 NFL season, dominating an overmatched Minnesota Vikings team 16-6 at Tulane Stadium in Super Bowl IX. The 1975 Pro Bowl was held on January 20th, 1975 at the Orange Bowl in Miami, with John Madden coaching Greene’s AFC team and Chuck Knox heading up the NFC squadron. The NFC would triumph over the AFC by a score of 17-10.
