    Pretty sure this has been discussed previously but on twitter there was a war about whether or not its Black and Gold or Black & Yellow.. Maybe semantics for many but I prefer the old school and believe Black & Gold to be the correct descritption.

    F Wiz Khalifia and all that new generational crap

    The color on the uniforms really is yellow, but the traditional description is black and gold. I'm fine with either.

    Old school was da Black and da Gold.

    Now it's the da Black and da Yella.

    Truth to me it looks yellow. Gold to me has metallic to it, like the saints helmets, look gold.

    I'll accept both.

    This is a comparison. The left color is the hex for yellow, the right orange, the middle Steeler Gold. It's actually much closer to orange than yellow. steelers gold comp.jpg

    It was always and will always be Black N Gold for me.

    Went out with a bunch of Millennials this weekend and there was a young girl wearing Steelers colors but nothing officially Steelers related. A couple hours into the evening everyone started talking football and my wife told the group that I'm a Steelers fan. The girl said, heck yea, Black N Yellow all the way.:rolleyes:

    I immediately corrected her.

    Must be a generational thing.:shrug:

    Black and Gold! The emblem on one side of the helmet. The Terrible Towel. All are sacred and our uniqueness.

    "Gold" referred to the shade of yellow. IIRC, it's specifically "Aztec gold."

    Gold sounds better. Sorry rap fans.

    That said, the shade of yellow in our uniforms is considerably brighter nowadays than it used to be. So I can understand the confusion.

    Edit: or maybe that was just our subpar TVs back in the day.

    Maybe I should have my wife pick out the colors for my future man cave.

    What if she gets yellow? Unless you have educated her already.

    The Penguin's Vegas Gold experiment died quickly and I'm glad it did. The first jersey's had some style with the diagonal striping on the arms and the mid 90's robopenguin logo on the shoulder. When they went to no stripes and logo on the shoulders they looked horrid. Glad they switched back to classic Pittsburgh Black and Gold.
