1934 Pittsburgh Pirates (NFL) season


The 1934 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the second season of the Pirates after formation the previous year. The 1934 Pirates began the season with a new coach, Luby DiMeolo, but again found themselves finishing in 5th place in the Eastern Division. The Pirates suffered a miserable 2–10 season, in which they were shut out in 6 games and only scored more than 10 points in 2 games.
One point of interest of the season was the arrival of All-Pro and future Hall of Famer John McNally for one season from the Green Bay Packers. However, he did not have much of an impact for the Pirates before returning to the Packers the next season.
This Pirates team also introduced their "jailbird" uniforms. While these uniforms were worn by the Steelers as throwbacks from 2012 to 2016, this was the only year they were used as the team was constantly made fun of for looking like convicts.
