1. Pittsburgh Steelers Color Rush (2016)
My goodness. These are the jerseys the Pittsburgh Steelers have been waiting for. Nike did a bad job with most of the color rush jerseys, but they absolutely killed it with the Steelers jerseys. Let’s be honest, Pittsburgh should make this their full-time jersey. That says a lot because their home jerseys are arguably one of the five best in the NFL. But this look is so perfect.
Nike went with black for the primary color. Luckily, they didn’t get with yellow. That didn’t work out too well for the Washington Redskins. Black is such an awesome color to bust out because just about everything pops off of it. Moreover, Nike went with their gold for the accents and numbering. They could have gone with the red and blue, but wisely stuck with yellow. Pittsburgh got a clean chest. I’m a huge fan of the shoulder swoosh mark, Nike should do this with all NFL uniforms. The Steelers logo on the chest is very nice.

If I had to nitpick, the gold stripes on the pants look a little weird without stripes on the top. Add side stripes to the top and this jersey would be flawless. Eli Rogers is wearing gold cleats for this game and I love it. Steelers players need to get gold cleats for the next time they bust this look out. Which will hopefully be very soon. Nike needs to beef up their color rush look. And they should look no further than the Steelers for inspiration.
