Steelers to wear Color Rush uniforms this week

The Steelers are 7-1 when wearing the Color Rush uniforms, defeating the Chicago Bears, 29-27, on Monday Night Football in 2021.

The Color Rush uniform has become a favorite with players and fans alike, a monochromatic look that was first introduced to wear primarily on Thursday Night Football.

“It brings a different energy,” said linebacker T.J. Watt. “Any time you get a signature game with its own jersey, it brings its own ice to it. We all get fired up. We love wearing the all black uniform with the gold. It really pops out. The fans get into as well. I know it’s not a night game, but at 4:25 it’s going to be dark. The gold will be popping and go along well with the Terrible Towels.”

The uniform is a black jersey with gold numbers and gold stripes on the sleeves, while the pants are all black, with a gold stripe.

“I really enjoy those,” said linebacker Robert Spillane. “That all black look…it’s a clean, sleek look. When you wear those, you have to bring that black Air Force One energy as Coach (Mike) Tomlin would say. It’s fun to come out in a different uniform. I think everyone in the NFL enjoys how they look on game day. They take pride in how they look. It’s another opportunity to go out and have fun and do what we love to do, which is play football.”
