BROUGHT TO YOU BY :

THE STEELERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN BY FOUR NAMES DURING THEIR EXISTENCE. IN 1933 ART ROONEY PURCHASED THE TEAM AND NAMED THEM THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES AFTER HIS FAVORITE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM. AFTER 7 LOSING SEASONS, THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO THE STEELERS BY VOTE TO HONOR THE STEEL HERITAGE OF PITTSBURGH. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1943 & 1944 SEASONS, THEY REMAINED THE STEELERS RIGHT THROUGH PRESENT DAY. FOR THE 1943 SEASON, DUE TO WORLD WAR II AND A SHORTAGE OF PLAYERS, THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS AND THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES MERGED FOR ONE SEASON. THIS COMBO WAS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE STEAGLES. THEY COMPLETED THE SEASON WITH A 5-4-1 RECORD. THEN, IN 1944 PITTSBURGH MERGED WITH THE CHICAGO CARDINALS. THEY WERE KNOWN AS CARD-PITT, BUT REFERRED TO AS THE CARPETS AS THEY WERE WALKED ON FOR A 0-10 SEASON FINISH.
