The Pittsburgh Steelers value tradition, and their easily recognizable three-diamond logo is an excellent example. The Steelers logo, originally adopted from the Steelmark of the country's steel industry at the suggestion of a Cleveland (egad!) company has remained unchanged since 1963.

Learn more about the origins of the Steelers logo, and why the Pittsburgh Steelers are the only team in the NFL to sport the logo on only one side of their helmet.

Photo from AISI: Four Steelers players — running backs John Henry Johnson and Dick Hoak, quarterback Bobby Layne and receiver Buddy Dial — proudly hold up the new Steelers logo for publicity photos prior to the 1962 Steelers training camp.
