The Pittsburgh Steelers do not normally retire numbers, however, they have chosen to not distribute several numbers. The only official retired number is Ernie Stautner's 70.
The numbers 12, 32, 52, 58, 59 and 75 will probably not be seen in the near future. Also, I wouldn't expect to see 36 again anytime soon.

What is the logo on the Pittsburgh Steelers football helmet?
Originally founded as the Pittsburgh Pirates by Arthur (Art) Joseph Rooney on July 8, 1933, the Steelers changed their name in 1940 in an attempt to generate some fan support and involvement. Fans were encouraged to send their suggestions to the team; several nominated the winning name Steelers to reflect the city's primary source of employment. The famous three-star Pittsburgh Steelers logo was a bit longer in coming, however. Helmet logos first became popular in 1948. The Steelers' only concession to the new logo craze, however, was to add the players' numbers and a black stripe to their distinctive gold helmets. In 1962, Republic Steel of Cleveland approached the Steelers and suggested that they consider the Steelmark, the insignia used by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), as a helmet logo to honor Pittsburgh's steel heritage.

In 1962, Republic Steel of Cleveland approached the Steelers and suggested that they consider the Steelmark, the insignia used by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), as a helmet logo to honor Pittsburgh's steel heritage. The colors were chosen to promote the attributes for steel: yellow lightens your work; orange brightens your leisure; and blue widens your world. The logo's meaning was later amended to represent the three materials used to produce steel: yellow for coal; orange for iron ore; and blue for steel scrap.
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.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the location of two British forts -- Fort Prince George and Fort Pitt. Fort Prince George never was completed and no longer exists. A small outbuilding called the Blockhouse is all that remains of Fort Pitt.
When will a final discharge be issued in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Normal time limit would be sixty to ninety days. It is quite possible that said time frame will become much longer due to the large volume of bankruptcies that were filed in an effort to beat the new bankruptcy law deadline of Oct. 17. 2005.
