In Pittsburgh, they’ll be dreaming of a Black Christmas.
Steelers owner Art Rooney II said during halftime of Friday night’s preseason game against the Lions that the Steelers will wear “Color Rush” uniforms on Christmas against the Ravens. The uniforms will not be very colorful.
“It will be something different,” Rooney said. “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.”
Most “Color Rush” uniforms will be worn on Thursdays. The Steelers opted for Christmas Day, when only a pair of games will be played.
Presumably, the black jerseys with gold numbers will be unveiled at some point before Christmas, so that Steelers fans can tell Santa they want to find one under the tree before heading out to Heinz Field later that day.
