What color uniforms will they wear? Black, white, color rush? I think they play better in black and in front of fans.
They are at home, they’ll wear the normal black like they always do at home.
I don’t think the league allows alternate jerseys, color rush, throwback, etc. during the post season. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Oh I thought the home team got to choose its color. Thanks.
They do, but in all my many years of following the Steelers, I don’t recall them wearing anything other than black at home. Again, I could be wrong...and I’m sure Swiss knows for sure.

In fact, I’m sure he’ll be along any minute now, to tell us about the game in the 1960s when the Steelers wore sky blue pink.

I do recall a few years ago an opponent required the Steelers to wear black jerseys when they went to their stadium. I think it was Jacksonville or Miami because of the heat.

Yeah, I remember that. It was Jacksonville. The temps were in the 100s that day, IIRC.
There are some teams that wear white at home. Dallas is one. The Browns did at one time, but don't think they do anymore.

Home team chooses uniforms first.
It is one of the reasons they wore the white in Superbowl XL even though the AFC was designated the home team that year.
