As a the designated road team against the New Orleans Saints, the Steelers will go black on white on black, placing their standard helmet on top of a white jersey and the new addition of black pants. Normally, Pittsburgh would wear gold pants with their white jersey.
Pants that are being labeled as “slacks” for a refined addition in a game in a country known for fashion. But more important than how fashionable Pittsburgh looks, the Steelers are trying to increase their win streak and head back to the United States with three-straight victories.

Conversely, the Saints are sitting with the reverse record of 2-4, having suffered three consecutive losses. In Week 6, New Orleans fell 23-13 to the Minnesota Vikings following losses to the Falcons and Raiders in the preceding weeks.
