The Pittsburgh Steelers, originally founded as the Pittsburgh Pirates, changed their name to generate fan support since the steel industry was the city's primary source of employment. In 1962, Republic Steel of Cleveland asked the Steelers to use the Steelmark John Kuhn Jersey, the logo used by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), to honor the Pittsburgh steel heritage. The logo's colors represent the three materials used to produce steel: orange for iron ore, yellow for coal and blue for steel scrap. The Steelers are the only NFL team to sport its logo on only one side of the helmet.
How did a hockey team choose the "Ducks" for its uniforms? The Mighty Ducks were actually founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company. The team's name was chosen from the popular Disney movie The Mighty Ducks, a story about a group of troubled kids that turned their losing youth hockey team around and became winners. Disney created an animated series called Mighty Ducks that included a fictional Mighty Ducks of Anaheim team. The real team uses the Mighty Ducks logo on its uniforms to this day. The Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first baseball team to wear knickers instead of pants. The reason for this choice was to show off the team's high red socks that had been designed by the owner's wife.
the Chicago White Sox wore shorts during the first game of a doubleheader. The players hated the shorts so much that they all switched back to pants for the night game. For example, suppose a Broadway roadshow is coming to your city, and you would like to get hold of some show tickets for a particular night. You could hop in the car, spend money on gasoline, oil and parking, fight downtown traffic, stand in line for an hour or two Packers pro shop .or you could try to remember to call the box office during their "regular business hours," which may or may not be at times that are best for you. On the other hand, you could simply log on to a ticket broker on the Internet and take care of it in a few minutes, at your convenience.
