Ukubheka okusha kwe-Steelers Pittsburgh
I-logo yezintathu ezidumile zasePittsburgh Steelers ithathe isikhathi eside ekuthuthukisweni, noma kunjalo. Amalogi weHelmet aqala ukuthandwa ngo-1948 lapho iRos Angeles Rams iba yithimba lokuqala lokufaka i-helmets kumaqoqo amathimba. Umdlali weRams Fred Gehrke naye wayengumculi futhi wachitha sonke isikhathi sakhe samahhala ukuthi umdwebo wesandla wonyaka wonyaka wezimpi zikaRam onama-helmets angu-70 esikhumba. Ngonyaka olandelayo, u-Riddell, umenzi we-famous football helmet helmet usetshenzisiwe namuhla, wavuma ukubhaka umklamo wesigqoko, okwenza amanye amaqembu ukuba ahlanganise kancane kancane ama-logos. Ukuthengiswa kwe-Steelers kuphela ngesikhathi sokushayela i-logo entsha kwakungenxa yokwengeza izinombolo zabadlali nomcibisholo omnyama ezithandweni zabo zegolide ezihlukile.
Ngo-1962 iRiphabhulikhi Steel yeCleveland yasondela ku-Steelers futhi yaphakamisa ukuthi ibheke i-Steelmark, insignia esetshenziswa yi-American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), njengesigqoko se-helmet sokuhlonipha amagugu ensimbi yasePittsburgh.
I-logo ye-Steelmark, umbuthano ohlanganisa ama-hypocycloids amathathu (amadayimane anemiphetho yangaphakathi) kanye negama elithi STEEL, wadalwa ngu-US Steel Corp. (manje eyaziwa njenge-USX Corp.) ukufundisa abathengi ngokubaluleka kwensimbi ekuphileni kwabo kwansuku zonke.
I-Steelers yathande umqondo owethulwe yiRiphabhulikhi Steel, naphezu kokuthi inkampani yayisemzini wophikisana nabo abathandekayo, iCleveland Browns, futhi baziqhenya ngokuziqhenya leli qembu elisha ngezigqoko zabo ngo-1962.
Ngemuva kokufanelekela lolo nyaka ngomdlalo wabo wokuqala we-postseason, bawushintsha umbala wezicathulo zabo kusuka egolide ukuya emnyama, okwaqokomisa i logo entsha ababezizwa yabalethela inhlanhla.
Umphathi wemishini yeqembu uJack Hart ekuqaleni wasebenzisa i-logomark entsha ye-Steelmark kuphela ngakwesokudla, engaqiniseki ukuthi izobukeka kanjani ngezigqoko zegolide eziqinile. Ngisho noma kamuva bashintsha umbala wabo wesigqoko kumnyama omnyama, leli qembu linqume ukugcina unomphela uphawu kuhlangothi olulodwa ngokuphendula isithakazelo esenziwe yi-logo ehlukile. I-Steelers ihlala ithimba elilodwa ku-NFL kuya kwezemidlalo igoli layo kuhlangothi olulodwa lwesigqoko.
Steelers Ilogo Embodies Proud Tradition
Ukushintshwa kokugcina kwenzeka ku-logo ngo-1963 lapho i-Steelers iphumelela ukucela i-AISI ukuba ivumele ukuba bashintshe igama elithi "Steel" ngaphakathi kwe-Steelmark kuya "Abakhiqizi." Ngokushesha i-Steelers yanezela izinamba zegolide neyezinombolo zomdlali futhi zashintsha imaski ebusweni kusukela ku-grey kuya kumnyama, kodwa ngaphandle kwalokho, isigqoko sesigqoko sihlale singashintshi kusukela ngo-1963.
Ngesithakazelo esakhiwe ngokuba ne-logo eceleni kolunye uhlangothi lwezingubo zabo kanye nomphumelelo omusha weqembu (9-5 ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yokulahlekelwa yonyaka), i-Steelers yanquma ukushiya isigqoko esinjalo kuze kube phakade.
I-logo ye-Steelers ayizange ishintshe kusukela, ifanele iqembu lebhola lezinyawo elihlonipha ukuvumelana nokuziphatha.
