The much anticipated release of the Pittsburgh Steelers color rush uniforms will still have to wait, but we now know what they are going to look like.
Steelers president Art Rooney gave a description, and to be honest it sounds like they will look pretty amazing — even if they don’t exactly evoke a “color rush” image in your mind.
“It will be something different,” said Rooney, per the team’s website. “The first time we have worn black pants. It will be an all black uniform with gold numbers. I think our fans will enjoy it. It’s something different. It’s going to be interesting to see how it goes.”
Black on black.
Johnny Cash would approve.
Some have wondered if the Steelers color rush uniforms will also feature a different helmet look.

Based on how poorly some of the other color rush uniforms have played on screen (more on that here), these might end up being our favorites.
