The Pittsburgh Steelers unveiled new color rush uniforms for their Monday Night Football matchup with the Chicago Bears and they do not disappoint.

The Steelers are going with black again this year, along with classic and bold yellow numbers and letters.

Previous color rush jerseys have been black with yellow stripes or yellow with black stripes. They’ve also done odes to the past in their alternates with “bumblebee” black and yellow color blocking.

Fans responded with a lot of positivity about the new uniforms. On Twitter, some responses were “OH MAMA,” “Real tears,” and “a need.”

The Steelers, sitting at 4-3, host the 3-5 Chicago Bears on Monday night for an 8:30 p.m. kickoff.

Steelers-Bears injury report

The Steelers and Bears released their final injury report on Saturday, leading up to the Monday Night showdown.

Out — Steelers: TE Eric Ebron (ankle)

After practicing in limited fashion on Friday, Ebron did not practice Saturday. He missed Week 8 with the same injury. Rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth, who has become more involved recently, should continue to play plenty.

Out — Bears: QB Nick Foles (non-injury/personal/illness), TE J.P. Holtz (concussion), LB Khalil Mack (foot), RB Damien Williams (knee), DB Eddie Jackson (hamstring)

Mack is set to sit out his second consecutive week due to a foot injury. It is a huge loss for the defense, which struggled to apply much pressure without him this past week. The loss of Williams depletes the backfield, though David Montgomery is eligible to return from injury this week. Jackson out means another start for DeAndre Houston-Carson at safety.

Questionable — Steelers: OL BJ Finney (back)

Finney did not practice Friday, but got limited work on Saturday. He is the only Steeler listed as questionable, with all other injured players seemingly good to go. That includes safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and defensive tackle Cam Heyward.

Questionable — Bears: LB Alec Ogltree (ankle), WR Darnell Mooney (groin)

Mooney practiced in a limited fashion on both Friday and Saturday. If he is unable to go, it would be a huge loss for rookie quarterback Justin Fields and the offense. With the defense already missing a pair of key players, Chicago fans will hope Ogletree can give it a go Monday.

The Bears are by far the more banged up of the two teams, and will look to fight through that in this prime time game.
