No, Steelers Logo Isn't Really Theirs By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer 

DETROIT - The     Pittsburgh Steelers' logo is one of the best-known in pro
sports, the three starlike symbols that decorate one side ¡ª and only one
side ¡ª of their black-as-coal helmets. 
 
Many NFL fans think they represent Pittsburgh's three rivers, or the
diamond shape of the city's downtown.

Here's the surprise: the Steelers' symbol isn't theirs, and never was.
Instead, it belongs to the country's steel industry and originally had
nothing to do with football, Pittsburgh or the Steelers.

An even bigger surprise: the idea for the Steelers to wear it came from, of
all cities, Cleveland.

Before 1962, the Steelers' most-used logo was a punter booming a kick while
balanced on a steel beam ¡ª a fitting symbol given how often they punted in
those days. Before that season, executives of Cleveland-based Republic Steel
suggested the Steelers wear a new emblem called the Steelmark, originally
designed for U.S. Steel.

The Steelmark contained the word "steel" and the trio of four-pointed
stars, known as hypocycloids, in yellow, orange and blue.

Initially, the colors were to represent the attributes of steel but, that
proved confusing and were quickly changed to stand for the three materials
used in steelmaking (yellow for coal, orange for iron ore, blue for scrap
steel).

OK, so how does this relate to Mean Joe Greene, Rod Woodson and Ben
Roethlisberger?

Dan Rooney, the son of Steelers founder Art Rooney, liked Republic Steel's
suggestion and agreed to adopt the Steelmark after the American Iron and
Steel Institute, which officially owned the symbol, gave its approval.

Helmet logos were nothing new in the NFL; the 1948 Rams were the first team
to display them.

"I thought it was a good idea, but I wasn't sure how it would be received,"
said Dan Rooney, now the team's chairman. "That's why it's only on one side
of the helmet. Then we took it from there, and we had everybody asking
questions and I said, `Let's keep it that way. It's really a novelty.'"

Hence why the logo, to this day, is on only one side of the helmet (it's
also been rumored the team's longtime equipment manager, Jack Hart, wasn't
happy with slapping the logo on so many helmets and refused to do both
sides).

Four Steelers players ¡ª running backs John Henry Johnson and Dick Hoak,
quarterback Bobby Layne and receiver Buddy Dial ¡ª proudly held up the logo
for publicity photos when it was introduced before that 1962 training camp.

At the time, the Steelers were No. 2 in town to the Pirates in popularity
and were looking for anything to sell more tickets or drum up interest. Not
long before, they were the first NFL team to have cheerleaders (who, unlike
the steel symbol, proved to be a short-lived idea.)

"We held up this big old Steeler emblem, and we got our picture taken with
it," said Hoak, the team's running backs coach and a Steelers player or
coach all but one of the last 45 years. "But I don't remember how we reacted
to it ¡ª I mean, an emblem's an emblem."

Not to a Steelers fan looking forward to Sunday's Super Bowl against
Seattle, it isn't.

The Steelers had a surprisingly good record (9-5) in 1962, so they chose to
keep the logo, with two changes. One, the helmets were switched from gold to
black. Second, the Steelers were given permission to change the word "Steel"
in the logo to "Steelers."

The logo hasn't changed since, fittingly enough for a franchise that has
switched head coaches only once since 1969 and values consistency and
tradition. 

"I knew it was a good one, a good symbol and said what we were. It said
steel," Dan Rooney said. "It's still good."

Take care!
