The Pittsburg Steelers are a National Football League team from Pittsburg, PA.
Logo referenced from Sportslogos.net.
The Steelers enjoy one of the very best sports towns in the great United States. Pittsburg is home to the "black and yellow" that so many fans, including those who have never even been to the place, hold close to their hearts and #hashtags. The story behind this logo is great. This was actually a corporate sponsor of the team who originally wanted a logo placement on the helmet for the 1962 NFL season. The team did really well that year and decided it wanted to adopt the logo as its own by adding the "ers" at the end of the company's mark which had only "Steel" up until then.
The American Iron and Steel Institute agreed to share the logo with the team a year later in what could have been the sweetest deal for a corporate partner in the history of sports marketing.
