The Pittsburgh Steelers uniform is one of the most notable in all of sports, much less the NFL.
The crisp black that fades into a sharp gold or clean white has been around since the inception of the franchise.
And while it’s not going anywhere, a new variation of the famous attire is supposedly on the way…
According to multiple sources, the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders will all unveil new alternate helmets this summer, confirming a previous report from FanDuel’s Zach Cohen . Details are limited at this time, so it’s unclear if the Browns, Commanders and Saints will introduce a new shell color or simply tweak their existing alternate designs. But one thing for certain is that the Chargers and Steelers will finally add a second shell to their respective closets, leaving the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers as the only teams without a second shell.

The Steelers typically keep their black helmets on deck no matter what jerseys and pants they wear, but that will be changing this season.
We have seen the gold helmet in the past, but perhaps this will be a white one, or maybe even another colorway, one that mixes the two together.
Either way, it brings a a new flavor to the Steelers uniforms and one that will be sure to add polarization. The block numbered uniforms that mimic those from the past seem to be largely accepted by the fanbase, but we know what a stir the bumblebee uniforms created in the past.
A helmet isn't nearly as "loud" if you will, but the Steelers might have something up their sleeve nonetheless.
