The official font of the Pittsburgh Steelers is Gunplay. It really does look a lot alike stencil, but it is not. The Here is the website if you want to learn more. http://famousfonts.smackbomb.com/fonts/pittsburghsteelers.php
AnswerThe font looks a bit like a black condensed version of Univers AnswerStencilGunplay is not the official Steelers logo font because the small 't' is squared off and should have an angled tip, it is also too wide as the official font in more condensed. The 's'es are not as curved and lazily angle down also. The font is not bold enough.
Stencil is a serif face, Steelers is not.
Univers Black is a closer match with the ses and t, but the letter e is too oval shaped, Condensed bold is the correct width but there is no condensed Black. It is also not stenciled.
It is a custom font and it is called Steelers.
Zurich Bold condensed is the overall closest match with the s, e, and t, but again it is not bold enough and not stenciled, but a condensed Zurich black is what I use and stencil it myself, although the letter e is not perfect. The letter r is not perfect either as it's end doesn't swing wide enough (tall at the end of the curve).
Universe has the t, Helvetica black condensed has the s, and e and almost the r, Universe has the r just a little less flared than Helvetica Black condensed. Zurich, Helvetica, and Univers all seem to have the correct x-height .
AnswerActually, the true font which looks almost exactly like the Steelers logo is called Plakette 4 SF. All of the letters are the same except for the t. If you want to get the same t as the logo only make the t Rockwell with bold formatting.

I cannot tell you of the exact name of the font or style used for the lettering but I can send you to a site that pictures the different lettering, numbers, and logos used on Pirates uniforms throughout the years. To find the names of the font used do a search for online companies that sell Baseball uniforms, check out the charts they use for ordering the lettering, and compare them with the Pirates lettering.
See Related links below for the websites mentioned above. I have listed one site with uniform fonts you might have to find others to make a match.
The font is Futura Condensed.
In 1997, the team switched to rounded numbers on the jersey to match the font on the helmets.
