This also means the exclusion of certain menu items that might play into the theme of a rival team.

Well, it does if you're the famed Pittsburgh-based sandwich shop Primanti Brothers – the Pennsylvania staple has banned fish sandwiches this weekend beginning Friday, January 6 due to the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins.

The restaurant took it to Twitter to show the graveness of said sandwich ban:

The Pittsburgh Steelers will face off against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, January 8th at 1:05 PM EST.
