Just for fun...What nfl jerseys do you like and dislike? Personally, I hate all the giants jerseys, and think the bucs might have the best
LOL! Yup Edder.......i was GONNA end my post with "Whats up with that, Edder?" I figured you would either know, or know where to look it up!!!I had to look it up but you had to figure if anyone did I would right?
The Steelers are the only NFL team that sports their
logo on only one side of the helmet. At first,
this was a temporary measure because the Steelers
weren't sure they would like the look of the logo
on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them
before going all-out. Equipment manager
Jack Hart was instructed to put the
logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side.
The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became
the winningest team in franchise history to date.
The team finished second in the Eastern Conference
and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted
to do something special for their first postseason game,
so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black,
which helped to highlight the new logo.
Because of the interest generated by having the
logo on only one side of their helmets and because
of their team's new success, the Steelers decided
to leave it that way permanently.
Today's helmet reflects the way the logo was
originally applied and it has never been changed.
I can't say i hate any, but the Bengals are kind of lame. Also the Browns having no logo on the helmet is lame...........and the Steelers only having the logo on ONE side of the helmet. Whats up with that????
Is the owner too cheap to buy TWO logos for each helmet???
I never understood that. Anyone know why the Steelers do that?
