He showed a video of Bell signing a helmet that's matte black with a bright yellow face mask. It would look nice with an all black uniform(why else would he sign those helmets?). Hopefully, Indy selects white. Still think they could wear black even if Indy picks blue...

all black versus all white would actually look classy instead of those hideous "color rush" unis teams wore last year...

Steelers in all black would be great. Black versus white would look like a chess match. Awesome!!!

Exclet, Indy always wear "all white". So, I doubt that they wear "all white" for this game; they will likely wear "all blue".

Black & Blue would be a cool look.

Am I alone in being pissed they put the PRIMETIME Steelers/Bengals game in fucking Cincy again???????? Seriously? That one should be here and the 1:00 there. I'm still pissed at that organization and their asshole fans. They don't deserve another primetime game against the Steelers the way they acted like the bunch of inbred dumbfucks they are. And if we have to play those assholes on primetime, I hope to hell someone, I don't care who, knocks Burfuck the hell out...cold. I wouldn't shed one tear if he ends up in a body cast. Honest to God NFL, let's reward Cincyfuckinatti another Steelers primetime game so they can show everyone again that it's OK to throw things at players and cheer injuries and suffer no consequences from that. Pissed all over again.

I'm more surprised that we play the first game against them while Birth Defect will still be serving his suspension. So only one game our players will need to look out for his cheap shotting BS.

Another reason I wanted that game played here. I wanted that fuckhead to step foot on Heinz Field and have our crowd let loose on him. If we lose all but 2 games this season, those 2 games we win better be against them. But it gives me solace to know that as long as they have Marv, they should still win the division and get into the POs and lose there as per usual, which makes me all happy and giddy. Fuckers.

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned what happened last time the Steelers played in DC. Steeler Nation took over FedEx Field to the point that Jason Campbell had to go to a silent count. The DC media was in utter shock at the power of Steeler Nation. It was all that was talked about in DC for days. It was a night game too. We also got a Lombardi at the end of the season.

This wasn't the Steelers taking over a stadium in Cincy, or some other bandwagon town. The Skins have one of the better fanbases in the league, but the Nation would not be denied. You can count on your hands the stadiums where we don't make an impact. Philly is probably at the top of the list.
