The Pittsburgh Steelers is an American professional football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Steelers competed in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the North American Football Conference (AFC) division. Founded in 1933, Steelers is the oldest franchise in the AFC.
Contrary to their status as continuous people in the pre-merged NFL, where they are the oldest team that has never won a league championship, the post-merger (modern) Steelers era is one of the most successful NFL franchises. Pittsburgh has won more Super Bowl titles (6) and both played at (16) and hosted more conference championships (11) than any other NFL team. The Steelers have won 8 AFC championships, tied with the Denver Broncos, but behind the record of 10 AFC New England Patriots championships. Steelers share the record for most Super Bowl second appearances with the Broncos, and Dallas Cowboys (8). The Steelers lost their last championship appearance, Super Bowl XLV, on February 6, 2011.
The Steelers, whose trace of history to a pro-regional team founded in the early 1920s, joined the NFL as the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 8, 1933, owned by Art Rooney and took its original name from a baseball team under the name just as common practice for the NFL team at the time. To distinguish them from the baseball team, local media picked up to call the Rooneymen football team, an unofficial nickname that persisted for decades after the team adopted its current nickname. Steelers ownership has remained in the Rooney family since its inception. Art's son, Dan Rooney has a team from 1988 until his death in 2017. Much of the control over the franchise has been granted to Dan's son, Art Rooney II. Steelers enjoy a large fanbase nicknamed Steeler Nation. Steelers currently play their home games at Heinz Field on Pittsburgh's North Side in the North Shore neighborhood, which also hosts the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. Built in 2001, the stadium replaces the Three Rivers Stadium which hosts the Steelers for 31 seasons. Before Three Rivers, the Steelers had played their games at Pitt Stadium and Forbes Field.

Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL first took to the field as the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 20, 1933, losing 23-2 from the New York Giants. Through the 1930s, Pirates never finished higher than second place in their division, or with a better record of 0,500 (1936). Pittsburgh did make history in 1938 by signing Byron White, future US Supreme Court Judge, for what was then the largest contract in NFL history, but he played just one year with the Pirates before signing a contract with the Detroit Lions. Before the 1940 season, the Pirates renamed the Steelers.
During World War II, the Steelers suffered a shortage of players. They twice joined other NFL franchises to form teams. During the 1943 season, they joined the Philadelphia Eagles forming "Phil-Pitt Eagles" and known as "Steagles". The team departed 5-4-1. In 1944, they joined the Chicago Cardinals and became known as Card-Pitt (or, mocking, as "Carpets"). The team finished 0-10, marking the only winless team in franchise history.
The Steelers made the playoffs for the first time in 1947, tying for first place in the 8-4 division with the Philadelphia Eagles. It forced a tie-breaking playoff game at Forbes Field, which the Steelers lost 21-0. It will be a Pittsburgh playoff game just for the next 25 years; they qualified for the "Playoff Bowl" in 1962 as the second best team at their conference, but this was not considered an official playoff round.
In 1970, the year they moved to Three Rivers Stadium and the year of the AFL-NFL merger, Pittsburgh Steelers was one of three older NFL guard teams to switch to the newly formed American Football Conference (the other being Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts), to equalize the number of teams in the two newly joined league conferences. Steelers also received a $ 3 million ($ 18.9 million today) relocation fee, which was a windfall for them; for years they rarely have enough to build a competing team.
Chuck Noll Era
The Steelers' history of bad luck changed with the recruitment of coach Chuck Noll for the 1969 season. Noll's most remarkable talent was in his draft selection, taking on Hall of Famers "Mean" Joe Greene in 1969, Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount in 1970, Jack Ham in 1971, Franco Harris in 1972, and finally, in 1974, pulled out a remarkable feat of choosing four Hall of Famers in a design year, Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, and Mike Webster. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 1974 draft is their best; no other team has ever compiled four Hall of Famers of the future in a year, and only very few (including Steelers 1970) have compiled two or more in a year.
The players composed in the early 1970s formed the basis of the NFL dynasty, made the playoffs in eight seasons and became the only team in NFL history to win four Super Bowls in six years, as well as the first to win more than two. They also enjoyed a regular streak of 49 wins in a row (1971-1979) against a team that would end with a record losing that year.
The Steelers suffered minor injuries in the 1980 season and missed the playoffs with a 9-7 record. The 1981 season was no better, with the show 8-8. The team was then hit with retirement from all of their key players from the Super Bowl years. "Meaning" Joe Greene retired after the 1981 season, Lynn Swann and Jack Ham after 1982 playoff berths, Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount after the 1983 division championship, and Jack Lambert after the AFC Championship Game in 1984.
After retirement, the franchise slipped into the losing first season since 1971. While still competitive, the Steelers will not finish above 0,500 in 1985, 1986, and 1988. In 1987, the striker's year, the Steelers finished with a record of 8-7, but absent in the playoffs. In 1989, they will reach the second round of playoffs on the strengths of Merrill Hoge and Rod Woodson before narrowly losing playoffs in each of the next two seasons.
Noll's career record with Pittsburgh is 209-156-1.
Bill Cowher Era
In 1992, Chuck Noll retired and was replaced by Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Bill Cowher, a native of Pittsburgh suburb, Crafton.
Cowher leads the Steelers into the playoffs in each of his first six seasons, an achievement achieved only by legendary coach Paul Brown of Cleveland Browns. In the first six seasons, Cowher trained them as deep as the AFC Championship Game three times and followed the 1995 season appearance in Super Bowl XXX on defense power "Blitzburgh". However, the Steelers lost to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX, two weeks after the exciting AFC Championship victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Cowher produced the fifth Super Bowl winning franchise in the Super Bowl XL for Seattle National Seahawks National Football Conference champions ten years later. With that victory, Steelers became the third team to win five Super Bowls, and the first sixth-ranked playoff team to win and win the Super Bowl since the NFL expanded to a 12-team post-season tournament in 1990. He trained through the 2006 season which ended in a record of 8 -8, just less than the playoffs. The entire Cowher team reached the 10th playoffs of 15 seasons with six AFC Championship Games, two Super Bowl venues and a championship.
Cowher's career record with Pittsburgh was 149-90-1 in the regular season and 161-99-1 overall, including the playoffs.
Mike Tomlin Era
On January 7, 2007, Cowher resigned from training the Steelers, citing the need to spend more time with his family. He did not use the term "retired", leaving open the possibility of returning to the NFL as another team coach. A three-person committee consisting of Art Rooney II, Dan Rooney, and Kevin Colbert was formed to conduct interviews for head coach vacancies. Interviewed candidates include: offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, offensive line coach Russ Grimm, former offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin, and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. On January 22, 2007, Mike Tomlin was announced as Cowher's successor as head coach. Tomlin was the first African-American coach to be named head coach of Pittsburgh Steelers in his 75-year history. Tomlin became the third Steelers Head Coach in a row to go to the Super Bowl, matching the Dallas Cowboys (Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer) in this achievement. He was named Best Coach of 2008. On February 1, 2009, Tomlin led the Steelers to their second Super Bowl this decade, and won 27-23 against the Arizona Cardinals. At the age of 36, he is the youngest head coach ever to win the Super Bowl, and he's only the second African-American coach to ever win the Super Bowl (Tony Dungy is the first). The 2010 season made Tomlin the only coach to reach the Super Bowl twice before the age of 40. Tomlin led the team to the second Super Bowl (Super Bowl XLV) on February 6, 2011. However, the Steelers were defeated in their eighth. Super Bowl appearance by Green Bay Packers with a score of 31-25. The Steelers recorded their 400th victory in 2012 after beating the Washington Redskins.
Through the 2016 season, Tomlin's record is 111-63, including the playoffs. He was the first Pittsburgh coach without a losing season. The 2013-2017 season is recorded for a recording performance of "Killer B". The trio consists of Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger, and Le'Veon Bell. Sometimes, "Killer B" also includes kicker Chris Boswell for his ability to achieve field goals that win the game.
Summary
Since the incorporation of the NFL in 1970, the Pittsburgh Steelers have compiled a regular season record of 444-282-2 (.635) and an overall record of 480-305-2 (.635) including playoffs, reaching playoffs 30 times, winning their division 22 times, playing in 16 AFC championship games, and winning six of the eight Super Bowls.

And Rooney, and his son Art Rooney II, the franchise president, want to stay involved with the franchise, while the two brothers - Timothy and Patrick - want to further pursue their racetracks in Florida and New York. Since 2006, many racetracks have added video slot machines, causing them to violate "NFL policies that prohibit engagement with horse racing and gambling interests".

Note: Although Marlin Briscoe sometimes misquoted as the first African-American early quarterback in 1968, this is not for the NFL team and not in the NFL game, nor The big gian of Briscoe career is not as a quarterback.

Logo and uniform
Steelers have used black and gold as their color since the club's inception, the singular exception being the 1943 season when they joined the Philadelphia Eagles and formed "Steagles"; the color of the team at that time was green and white due to wearing the Eagles uniform. Initially, the team wore gold-colored helmets and black T-shirts. Steelers' black and gold colors are now shared by all major professional teams in the city, including Pittsburgh Pirates in baseball and Pittsburgh Penguins in ice hockey, as well as Pittsburgh Power from the rebuilt Football League Arena, and Pittsburgh Passion of the Independent Women's Football League. The gold color is slightly different among the teams: Penguins previously used "Vegas Gold", a color similar to metallic gold, and Pirates' gold is darker yellow-gold mustard, while Steelers "gold" brighter crystal clear yellow. Black and gold are also the official flag colors of the city.
The Steelers logo was introduced in 1962 and is based on "Steelmark", originally designed by Pittsburgh's US Steel and now owned by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). In fact, it was the Cleveland-based Republic Steel that suggested Steelers adopt the industry logo. It consists of the word "Steelers" surrounded by three astroid (hypocycloid of four cusps). The original meaning behind the astroid is, "Steel brighten up your work, brighten up your spare time, and widen your world." Later, the colors represent the materials used in the steelmaking process: yellow for coal, red for iron ore, and blue for scrap metal. While the official Steelmark logo contains only the word "Steel", the team was given permission to add "ers" in 1963 after a petition to AISI.
Steelers are the only NFL team that puts the logo on only one side of the helmet (right side). Field manager and old equipment, Jack Hart, was ordered to do this by Art Rooney as a test to see how the logo appeared on a gold helmet; However, its popularity keeps the team leaving it that way permanently. A year after introducing the logo, they switched to a black helmet to make it stand out.
The Steelers, along with the New York Giants, are one of only two teams in the National Football League who have uniform numbers of players on the front and back of the helm.
The current uniform design was introduced in 1968. The design consists of gold trousers and a black shirt or a white shirt, except for the 1970 and 1971 seasons when the Steelers wore white pants with their white shirts. In 1997, the team switched to a round number on the jersey to match the font number (Futura Condensed) on the helmet, and the Steelers logo was added to the left side of the jersey.
The third uniform of 2007-2011, consisting of a black jersey with gold writing, white trousers with black and gold stripes, and gold helmets were first used during the 75th year of the Steelers in 2007. They are meant to evoke memories of the Uniform era 1963-1964. The uniform was so popular among fans that the Steelers organization decided to save it and use it as a third choice during a home match only.
In 2012, Steelers introduced a new third uniform, consisting of a yellow jersey with a black horizontal line (making a bee-like pattern) with black letters and black numbers placed inside a white box, to represent the shirts worn by the Steelers in the 1934 Season. consisting of cream-colored, yellow pants with stripped black socks, and Steelers regular steel helmets. Uniforms are used for 80 years of celebration of Steelers. Much like the previous alternative these shirts are so popular that they run out during the 2016 season. The shirt was dubbed the "bumblebee shirt" because it looks like a bee pattern. T-shirts have been retired after the 2016 season.
In 2008-2009, Steelers became the first team in NFL history to defeat the opponents three times in a season using three different uniforms. They beat the Baltimore Ravens in Pittsburgh on Sunday 4 in their third shirt, again Sunday's 15th in Baltimore on their white road, and last time at the AFC Championships in Pittsburgh in their home black T-shirt.
In 1979, the team owner was approached by Iowa Hawkeyes Head Coach then Hayden Fry about designing his faded team uniform on the Steelers picture. Three days later, the owners sent Fry T-shirts reproductions (home and away versions) from quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Today, Hawkeyes still retains the 1979 Steelers uniform as their home, and away colors.
Rivals
Prior to the 2007 season, Steelers introduced Steely McBeam as their official mascot. As part of the team's 75th anniversary celebrations, its name was chosen from a collection of 70,000 suggestions submitted by team fans. Diane Roles Middlesex Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, submitted the winning name "intended to represent steel for Pittsburgh's industrial heritage," Mc "for Rooney's Irish roots, and Beam for steel blocks produced in Pittsburgh, as well as for Jim Beam, alcoholic beverages her husband's favorite. "Steely McBeam looks at all home games and participates in other club-sponsored charity programs and events. Steely's signature is shown in capital letters S , and L is pulled to look like a steel beam. & Lt; re? F name = "CatchingUp"/& gt;
Fanbase
The Steelers have a tradition of having a huge fan base, which has spread from Pittsburgh. In August 2008, ESPN.com ranked Steelers fans as the best in the NFL, citing their "bestsellers" consecutive streak of 299 games in a row. The team gained a huge fan base nationally based on its success in the 1970s, but many consider the collapse of the city's steel industry in the late 1970s and 1980s dynasties (and the resulting diaspora) to be a great catalyst for the size of the fan base in the city- another city. The Steelers have sold out every home game since the 1972 season.
Pittsburgh Steelers has many unofficial fan clubs in many cities across the country, who usually meet in bars or bars on game days. This phenomenon is known to occur for other NFL teams as well, but the "Steeler bar" is more visible than most, including representative companies even in cities that become their own NFL teams.
The Terrible Towel has been described by the Associated Press as "arguably the most famous fan symbol of a major pro sports team". Introduced by broadcaster Myron Cope in 1975, towel rights have since been awarded to Allegheny Valley School in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, which cares for more than 900 people with intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities, including Cope's autistic son. Since 1996, the results of Terrible Towel have helped raise over $ 2.5 million for schools.
Break the song
Steelers do not have the official fight song, but many fan versions of Here we go Steelers and Steelers Polka (the latter is a parody of Pennsylvania Polka ) by ethnic singer Jimmy Pol, both dating from the 1970s, has been recorded. Since 1994, the song Here We Go by local singer Roger Wood has been popular with fans. During the Steelers game, Styx's Renegade is often used to rally a crowd.
Basketball
During the offseason, the Steelers have long participated in a charity basketball game throughout Western Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. The game typically features six active players as well as their coach-players playing against a group of local civilian leaders. The players, whose participants were not announced until the day of the match, signed free signatures for fans during the break.

From 1964 to 1969, Steelers played exclusively at campus facilities before moving on with the Pirates to Three Rivers Stadium in the north of the city.

I love that place.This is a perfect camp camp setting, looking over the Laurel highlands hills in west-central Pennsylvania, an hour east of Pittsburgh.Any foggy or misty morning, standing on a hill on campus, you feel like you are in Scotland.Little class, beautiful piece of Americana.If you can visit one boot camp, this is a must see.
The team has its headquarters and training facilities at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sportsplex in Pittsburgh's Southside. Built in 2000, this facility combines the extensive expertise of professional and sports medical researchers as well as hosts the University of Pittsburgh Panthers soccer team.
