This is Super Bowl week and, if you live in Pennsylvania, chances are you are rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers! Click here to learn a little of the history of the team. Then write a Did you know question about something you learned that you found interesting.

Here is my example:

Did you know the Pittsburgh Steeler helmet has the logo only on one side?

    Holy smokes! The Pittsburgh Steelers have been around longer than I have. That's because they were founded in 1933, 78 years ago. That's even older than my parents! Arthur Rooney was the founder of the Steelers football organization. It's hard to believe that they started out as the Pittsburgh Pirates. We'd be saying "Beat 'em Bucs" on Sunday instead of "Here We Go, Steelers, Here We Go!"I wonder what Rooney would think about them today. They have won more Super Bowls than any other team...ever! I also noticed that the Green Bay Packers were a football team before the Steelers were. I wonder what year that franchise began.

    WOW!!!! The Steelers logo is based on the Steelmark logo belonging to the American Iron and Steel Institute. Created by U.S. Steel Corp.
    In the 1950s, when helmet logos became popular, the Steelers added players' numder to either side of their gold helmets.

    Wow! On January 21, 1979 the Steelers and the Cowboys were in a super bowl together. The Coyboys started out with a win but boy the Steelers did a great job to catch up to the Coyboys.The score at the beginning was 14 to 7. In the 3rd quarter the Steelers were still in the lead. Then the score was 21 to 14. Early in the 4th quarter the Steelers scored 2 touchdowns! I wonder how the Steelers felt about scoring all the touchdowns in the 4th quarter. Then the Pittsburgh Steelers walked out of the stadium with a victory!!

    WOW I had no clue!!!! The Steelers logo is based on the Steelmark logo belonging to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Created by U.S. Steel Corp. (now known as USX Corp.), the logo contains three diamond shaped stars.
    In the 1950s, when helmet logos became popular, the Steelers added players' numbers to either side of their gold helmets. For exampel: Troy Polamalu he has a number 43 on his helmet with a gold stripe going down the middle of his helmet!

    I never knew that the Steelers used to have there helmets with players numbers on them. Then the team changed the numbers to a logo that said Steel. I guess they did not like the logo that said Steel and changed the word Steel to Steelers and they left it that way and the team today is still called the Steelers.

    The Terrible Towle is not an instrument of witchcraft... It is not a hex upon the enemy. The towel is a positive force that lifts the Steelers to magnificent heights - and poses mysterious difficulties for the Steelers' opponents only if need be.Still, at the least, the symbol of the terrible towel will serve as a memento of your having been part of the Steelers' Dynasty.

    [This is a paragraph for the statement at the bottom}

    OH MY GOSH!!!! At first I had no clue what the Terrible Towle was or what it was about.But now I know what the Terrible Towle is.It is a towle to cheer on the Steelers football players. They arn't trying to put offense on the other team and make them feel bad. That makes the Steelers football players back in their game.

    Lets go Steelers. The Steelers have been a team since 1933 that is 78 years. There was not a lot of teams in the NFL back then. The Eagles were not in the NFL back then. They won there there first super bowl against the Vikings. The thing I did not know was that the Steelers team name use to be the Pirates. They won 6 super bowls, they are about to win seven super bowls. I only have two more words to say GO STEELERS!

    Wow! did you know the Pittsburgh Steelers logo was just the word steel and was not Steelers? And The Steelers had to petition the AISI in order to change the word Steel inside the steel mark to Steelers before the logo was complete. The Steelers are the only NFL team that sports their logo on only one side of the helmet.
