    Steelers unis are good. The only change I'd make is on the white jersey. Wish the last name was in black (instead of yellow) so it contrasts and can see better from far away.

    • @ScottSillcox

      With respect to the Steelers now famous Steel logo. The 3-point Steelers logo was first worn by the Steelers midway through the 1962 season (Nov 18, 1962) and has graced the right side of Steelers helmets ever since. The 3 points not only represent the ‘three rivers’ that meet in Pittsburgh, but were also a virtual direct copy, and tribute, to the US Steel logo that was introduced in 1960 - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmark. Die-hard Steelers fans know that this logo is only displayed on the right side of the helmet. The story goes that when the logo was proposed in 1962, owner Art Rooney wasn’t 100% sure if he liked the logo - so he had it placed on the right side only. The tradition has been upheld ever since.

    • @sstoll6969
      @sstoll6969 4 роки тому +2

      The 3 geometric shapes are actually called hypocycloids. The logo was originally a trademark of US Steel. The 3 colors represented the main tenants for how they marketed steel back in the day. Steel lightens your work, brightens your leisure and widens your world. Look closely and you will see two footballs between the hypocycloids. Strange but true fact - the US Steel logo was actually created in..... Cleveland. Go figure & Go Stillers!

  • @MrZeldalove
    @MrZeldalove 6 років тому

    Why have they not ever put that beautiful U.S. Steel emblem on both sides of the helmet? It is, indeed, one of the classic, timeless uniforms. Other great unis, IMO: Denver 1980's uniforms, Redskins, spear helmets (1960's) Falcons, black jerseys, red striped helmets, New York Giants, late 60's/early 70's (very tough and blue-collar looking) and Cincy before they started wearing pajamas @ 1982/3.

    • @ScottSillcox
      @ScottSillcox  6 років тому +1

      Tommy - I understand the question re the helmet logo, but don't you think it's a great Art Rooney story and a tip of the cap to the past that the Steelers only have the logo on the one side? For those who don't know the story, you can read it here:

    They really need to stop calling either the Packers or Steelers "Gold". It's YELLOW. You want to see GOLD, look at the Niners, or Saints. The Saints are the only literally "Black and Gold" team in the NFL.

      MIKE S. They once had cheerleaders from a nearby college from 1960 though 1969, the Pittsburgh Steelerettes, it ended when Robert Morris College got their own football team.
      In Baltimore we're the only NFL team with male cheerleaders, who are on the stunt team and hold and catch the girls. When someone makes fun of them, I say "lets change your squad to a flip contest" they back off. Every other squad in the league copies the same dance routines like Cowboys.
