The Pittsburgh Steelers face a must-win game on Thursday night. 

Coming off an embarrassing loss against a team that was 2-10, even with fresh wounds, Pittsburgh can't drop another against one of the league's worst teams. 

Well, in an effort to get off the schneid, Pittsburgh is pulling out all the stops in the aesthetics department:

Color Rush Jerseys & Gold Endzones 

The Steelers will wear their Color Rush uniforms this week when they play the New England Patriots at Acrisure Stadium on Thursday Night Football, the first time they have worn the uniforms during the 2023 season.

The Steelers own a 7-2 record when wearing the Color Rush uniforms.

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.

In my opinion, it's not a coincidence that Pittsburgh is making these changes ahead of Thursday Night Football. They know they will need all the help they can get with Kenny Pickett out for the next few weeks and don't want to put out another embarrassing product, especially in front of a national audience.
