The Cincinnati Bengals will look a little different in Pittsburgh on Sunday, and not just because of the massive presence of Dexter Lawrence in the middle of the defense.

After wearing orange pants in their last two games against the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, the Bengals will be going back to a more traditional look for Sunday’s 1 p.m. game.

The team will wear white jerseys, black pants with orange stripes and white socks.

This will be the first time the Bengals have worn that combo since Week 6 last year at Green Bay, and it will be the 13th time overall since the uniform redesign in 2021, with all 13 contests coming on the road.

The Bengals are 7-6 in the combination, including a three-game losing streak that began with a 2023 trip to Pittsburgh before switching to the orange pants for the 2024 and 2025 games there.

Many Bengals fans will not miss the orange pants in Pittsburgh. Cincinnati is 2-7 while wearing the orange pants, including a four-game losing streak.
