Week 11 may be host to the uniform matchup of the year: Cincinnati’s “White Bengal” uniforms vs. Pittsburgh’s Color Rush jerseys.
The NFL has had plenty of great uniform matchups already this season.
Chargers vs. Chiefs in Week 2 had a great clash of light colors.
Dolphins vs. Bengals in Week 4 had Miami’s throwbacks and Cincinnati’s “White Bengal” uniforms.
Packers vs. Lions in Week 9 had a classic jersey matchup.
This week’s might be the best one yet though, and the records for each team when wearing them are impressive as well.
The Steelers are 7-1 all time when wearing their alternate jerseys. The Bengals are 1-0 since debuting theirs earlier this season against the Miami Dolphins, who were undefeated at the time.
Do the uniforms really make a difference in teams’ performances?
What players wear may not seem important, however, there is a saying: “Look good, feel good. Feel good, play good.”
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth agrees. “The Color Rush is awesome,” he told reporters. “You have this cool uniform you get to wear once a year and it brings out a little more juice.”
The game might be as competitive as the argument of who is wearing the better uniform on Sunday. The last time these two teams played in Week 1, the game went into overtime.
Will the better team or better uniform win? Or is it the same answer?
