Best Answer

The Steelers and the Packers team names are based on the predominant industry in their home towns. The Packers are named after the business that formed them before the NFL existed, Meat packing. The Steelers are named for the steel-making that Pittsburgh has been known for many years. The emblem on their helmets is actually the company logo for United States Steel corp. The San Francisco 49er's are named for the gold miners that poured in that area after the gold strike of 1849.
