The USFL on Thursday revealed uniforms its eight teams will wear for a 2022 season scheduled to begin in April, including those for the Pittsburgh Maulers.

The rebooted Pittsburgh Maulers have their updated, modern-style fashion uniforms.

One of eight teams in the United States Football League’s return this spring, the Maulers share a name and purple-and-orange color scheme with their forerunners who played one season as part of the original USFL in 1984. But the new look fits in more with contemporary football, with a color strip over the shoulders differing from the chest and back on the “home” and “road” versions of the jersey.

The home uniforms released Thursday feature purple as the dominant color with orange across the top. The designated road jerseys are white with purple over the shoulders. Numbers for both are outlined in orange — the digits are white on the road jerseys and purple for the home uniforms. Both of the uniform styles the USFL revealed had white pants with purple striping down the outside of each leg, with purple socks.

The Maulers, like all eight USFL teams in this inaugural redux of the spring league, will play their entire regular-season schedule in Birmingham, Ala. The league announced this week that the postseason will be staged in Canton, Ohio.

The 1984 Maulers that played at Three Rivers Stadium had purple jerseys with white numbers when playing at home and white jerseys with purple numbers on the road. They utilized gray pants.

The 2022 Maulers logo was modernized to appear more sleek but shares its basic tenets with the 1980s version: a silhouette of a steelworker yielding a mallet hammer. As in 1984, the logo adorns both sides of the helmet.

The USFL is scheduled to kick off its season April 16. Its player draft is scheduled for next week.
