Pittsburgh Steelers history
Art Rooney's club entered the NFL on July 8, 1933, as the Pittsburgh Pirates, borrowing the name of the city's baseball team, a common habit back then. Local writers called the players the Rooneymen to tell the two apart, and that nickname hung on for decades. Roots go back further still, to a regional pro team from the early 1920s.
Before the merger the Steelers were losers, the oldest team without a league title. The modern era flipped that script, especially in the 1970s. Pittsburgh shares the record for Super Bowl wins with New England at six, has played in 16 conference title games (an NFL best) and hosted 11 of them, and has won eight AFC crowns.
