The Jon Kolb Steelers 2026 Varsity Jacket takes its cue from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ November 5, 2026 announcement naming former offensive tackle Jon Kolb as the team’s nominee for the 2026 Salute to Service Award. This varsity jacket references Kolb’s connection to Pittsburgh football, the team he played for and later coached. That connection gives the design its context, while the nomination brings a different part of his story into focus: his work with service members, veterans, and first responders.
Jon Kolb Steelers 2026 Varsity Jacket – Pittsburgh’s Colors and Kolb’s Salute to Service Story
This 2026 Jon Kolb Steelers Varsity Jacket pairs a round Pittsburgh Steelers emblem on the left chest with gold script on the right. The emblem has a white circular field with three four-point shapes in yellow, red, and blue. Yellow sits at the top, red at the right, and blue below, with dark lettering to their left. Across the front, the gold script tilts slightly upward, giving the smaller chest detail a handwritten look beside the sharply defined circle.
Gold graphics sit high on both black sleeves, with a stacked motif on the right upper arm and a larger, angular mark on the left. The difference in scale keeps the sleeves from mirroring each other, while the shared color ties them back to the chest script. The artwork stays close to the shoulders, leaving the lower sleeves black until the striped cuffs.
The collar, cuffs, and waistband repeat the same black-and-gold stripe pattern. At the front, the waistband stripes stop on either side of the central snap closure, and two slanted pocket openings sit below the chest graphics. With the circular emblem and script placed on opposite sides of the snaps, the front reads in two parts: the team mark catches the eye first, and the smaller gold details carry the color across the rest of the jacket.

The Pittsburgh Steelers nominated Jon Kolb for his work through Adventures in Training with a Purpose, a nonprofit he founded that provides free services to active-duty military members, veterans, and first responders. Steelers Vice President of Strategy Dan Rooney pointed to how Kolb applies his background in exercise science and strength training to help people regain everyday mobility. Kolb put his motivation simply: “I wanted to make a difference.”
The connection was also part of Pittsburgh’s Salute to Service game against the Cleveland Browns on November 1, 2026, at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team named Kolb’s nonprofit among six military charities selected to benefit from the game’s 50/50 raffle. On the jacket, the round chest emblem and black-and-gold trim point to the Pittsburgh team that nominated him. The story behind those colors extends from Kolb’s years on the offensive line to the work Pittsburgh recognized through the award nomination.
