Steelers rolled out the jailbird bumblebee uniforms, we will counter with the black alternates

[Ivalice]

I know some of you don't like the alternates but I think it makes the players play with more "swag." (For the record, I hate that word but I can't think of a better word atm)

You mean swagger?

[somedumbguy]

As long as nobody is wearing flesh colored pants...

[Ravenswintitle]

not a fan but I loved them last year against SF. Lets see some more of that!

The Ravens ususally play their best at home in Black. Love it!! Would also like to see them vs DEN.

Whatev'. If the players dig the all-black by all means proceed. It forestalls Pitts.' black jerseys, which is their more traditional "6 Rings" look. We're far enough away from the Billick era Thug Life brand image (Ray is doing netwoek ad campaigns w/ cute kids & his Mom). Haters today hate on something else - like our winning.

They used the killer bee alternate twice, so we're saved from that affront.

I love the black unis, reminds me of how the New Zealand all blacks dominate in rugby. We seem to play in similar way when we wear black.

Whatev. If the players dig them, by all means. They'd make a lot of sense on a cold, sunny one pm kick off. We are far enough away from the Billick era Thug Life brand image ( I mean, Ray is doing network ad campaigns w/ cute kids and his mom). Haters hate on us now cause we beat them. The all black also prevents Pitts.' own black jerseys, which is their more "6 rings" look.

What time does it get dark over on the east coast this time of year just out of interest? It's a 4 pm KO.

[Raven 555]

Gets dark at 5:30.

I'm pretty sure throwback/alternate jerseys can only be used at home, so we'd be spared that in any case. (Though those Tar&Piss Jailbird Jerseys worked out real well for them 2 weeks ago...)

Not sure if they're doing black or white pants (from what I've dug up they can use either). I like the white myself but I think the players prefer all-black.

The Stealers will be in their usual away unis--Pus&Piss, unless I miss my guess...

[Ravenboy2003]

oh great.. the black leotards..

I honestly wish we would just stick with the white pants/purple jersey combo.

[Ivalice]

Update: Black top with white pants.

[RavenScallywag]

The all black may be a better look, but I think we tend to play better historically in black jerseys and white pants.

[Rxdoxx]

Are we spraying our cleats black again?

And I swear the bumblebee pants look like supermarket paper bags, at least on my TV

[Beau Petard]

I think the teams need to tough it out like when we were kids, have a separate pre-game coin toss, and go with "skins and shirts"...

[trailhiker85]

Good. To me, the all-blacks look like a bunch of big guys wearing pajamas out there. I like the black jerseys, but stick with the white pants.

[Real Fan Dan]

Like R-Boy i don't like the black leotards. I'm hip with the Black jerseys and white drawers however.

I think the Steelers only wore those hideous striped prison uniforms in a sad attempt to fuck our eyes up lol.

[Paintballguy]

I love the all black pajama look. I wish they would wear them again. The black/white combo looks good though too.
