The Pittsburgh Steelers will debut a new uniform combination against the New Orleans Saints in Paris, pairing their standard white road jerseys and black helmets with black pants for the first time in franchise history. Pittsburgh typically wears gold pants with its white jerseys; the black pants, introduced as part of its Color Rush set, have previously been paired with black jerseys. The mix-and-match look gives the team a fresh variation while staying close to its traditional uniform, and contrasts with the Saints’ planned black-and-gold attire. The game will be the NFL’s first regular-season contest in France.

Mixing in the Color Rush pants with the road whites is a smart way to freshen things up for the Saints game.
I still prefer the gold pants on the Steelers it just looks more like them to me.
The white jerseys with black pants should pop well under the lights over in Paris this weekend.
