OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Adding to the excitement of a crucial meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thanksgiving, the Ravens will wear their all-black uniforms for the nationally-televised game on Thursday night.
This marks the second straight season in which the Ravens will wear their alternate jerseys against the Steelers after they fell 23-20 to Pittsburgh on Dec. 2, 2012 while donning black jerseys with white pants. The Ravens wore their black jerseys with white pants in their Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers earlier this season.
Baltimore last wore black jerseys with black pants in a dominating win over the New York Giants to clinch their second straight AFC North title on Dec. 23, 2012.
After introducing the all-black look in 2004, the Ravens have gone 10-5 all-time when they wear black jerseys and are 7-2 under coach John Harbaugh. Baltimore is 6-3 when wearing black jerseys and black pants and hasn’t dropped a game in that uniform combination since the 2007 season.
The NFL allows teams to wear an alternate or throwback uniform for a maximum of two regular-season games every season.
