What do the stars in the Pittsburgh Steelers emblem represent?
Pittsburgh Steelers logoThe team logo, introduced in 1962, is based on the old U.S. Steel logo. It consists of the word "Steelers" surrounded by three astroids (hypocycloids of four cusps). The yellow hypocycloid represents coal, the orange one is for ore, and the blue one represents steel scrap. The Steelers are the only NFL team that puts their logo on only one side of the helmet (the right side).The Steelmark was originally created for United States Steel Corporation to promote the attributes of steel: yellow lightens your work; orange brightens your leisure; and blue widens your world.In order to test out the Steelmark and see how it looked on their all-gold helmets, the Steelers equipment manager was instructed to put it on only the right side of the helmet. That year the Steelers finished with a 9-5 mark and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. 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.The interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets along with the team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave the helmet that way permanently. Today's helmet reflects the way the logo was originally applied and it has never been changed.The actually name references the strong steel industry in Pittsburgh, and the three diamonds are for each river that flows through Pittsburgh, which is the Monongahela, The Allegheny, And the Ohio River.
