GatorHunter Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I am currently working in Afghanistan and came across this 1962 Steelers logo sticker on a fuel tank. I thought is was interesting to have it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl007 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The inspiration logo! It's funny the things you see overseas. I saw kids running around in Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champion shirts (that the Patriots won) when I was in Iraq. Be careful over there.Axl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought is was interesting to have it here.That would be the OLD U.S. Steel logo, the one that the Steelers logo is ultimately based on.http://steelersfanatic.blogspot.com/p/history-of-steelers-logo.htmlWell I guess I should clarify, it's really hard to tell what the colors in the logo are but yeah funny how and where things can show up.

I swear they used the "Steel" logo on their helmet though, because I remember it being in NFL 2K5 as a retro uniform.This was their logo though...

ARTnSocal Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The Steelers wore a blank yellow helmet during most of the 1962 season. They then added that logo which read 'STEEL' for the last 5 games of that season.In 1963 when they switched their helmet color to black they changed the wording on the logo to 'STEELERS' ...........

Claystation360 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ahh the classic yellow helmets. It would be a interesting 2nd helmet if they NFL ever allows alternate helmets. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think the logo should still say "Steel" instead of "Steelers." It looks cooler, fits better. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Is "steeler" an actual word or was it just made up as a team name? It's not in the dictionary (at least dictionary.com) while "oiler" is defined as someone or something that oils machinery (though not necessarily the roughneck type workers Houston's AFL team portrayed). Interestingly, the first thing I think of when I hear "oiler" is a military tanker ship, a definition they didn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
