In 1962, Republic Steel of Cleveland approached the Steelers and suggested that they consider the Steelmark, the insignia used by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), as a helmet logo to honor Pittsburgh's steel heritage. The Steelmark logo, a circle enclosing three hypocycloids (diamonds with inward-curving edges) and the word STEEL, was created by U.S. Steel Corp. (now known as USX Corp.) to educate consumers about the importance of steel in their daily lives. [blockquote]The colors were chosen to promote the attributes for steel: yellow lightens your work; orange brightens your leisure; and blue widens your world. The logo's meaning was later amended to represent the three materials used to produce steel: yellow for coal; orange for iron ore; and blue for steel scrap.[/blockquote]\n\nThe Steelers liked the idea presented by Republic Steel, despite the fact that the company was located in the city of their bitterest rival, the Cleveland Browns, and proudly sported the new logo on their helmets for the 1962 season. After qualifying that year for their first-ever postseason game, they changed the color of their helmets from gold to solid black, which also served to highlight the new logo they felt had brought them good luck.\n\nThe new Steelmark logo was originally only applied to one side of the helmet (the right side) by equipment manager Jack Hart because the Steelers were uncertain how it would look on their solid gold helmets. Even when they later switched their helmet color to solid black, they decided to permanently retain the logo on just the one side due to the team's new success and the interest generated by the logo's uniqueness. The Steelers are now the only team in the NFL to sport its logo on only one side of the helmet.

yes and no... the rule was "grand-fathered" into the league, so after the rule was initiated, the players (& officials) who were new to the league were required to wear helmets, while players and officials who were already in the league were given a choice. this wont happen, but if Gordie Howe decided to return, he wouldnt have to wear a helmet, while all others do

Do you mean the wrench?  There was some wrench logo on the side of the field.  I don't know what it really was or what it means.

Florida is celebrating 100 years of Florida football. The orange helmet is the current one, and the white one is the old time helmet, I'm assuming from the very first football team. I'm a student there and we all got T-shirts with that logo. Go Gators! =)

Some leagues require it and some do not. I know I wore a visor for a while and took it off recently. I had a tinited one. It sucks when you stop fast and snow gets on it. The water spots bug me. Also Im a referee and I do not wear one so I am more used to not wearing one.

They are called "hit" stickers. Refers to the stickers placed on the helmets of the Ohio State football players.  If a player makes a good play, he is awarded with a Buckeye Leaf sticker to place on his helmet.  If a player's helmet is completely covered with these stickers, that probably means he's a pretty good player!

History Of The Steelers Logo\n\nThe 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 hypocycloids (diamond shapes).\n\nIn the 1950s, when helmet logos became popular, the Steelers added players' numbers to either side of their gold helmets. Later that decade, the numbers were removed and in 1962, Cleveland's Republic Steel suggested to the Steelers that they use the Steelmark as a helmet logo.\n\nWhen the Steelmark logo was created, U.S. Steel attached the following meaning to it: Steel lightens your work, brightens your leisure and widens your world. The logo was used as part of a major marketing campaign to educate consumers about how important steel is in our daily lives. The Steelmark logo was used in print, radio and television ads as well as on labels for all steel products, from steel tanks to tricycles to filing cabinets. \n\nIn the 1960s, U.S. Steel turned over the Steelmark program to the AISI, where it came to represent the steel industry as a whole. During the 1970s, the logo's meaning was extended to include the three materials used to produce steel: yellow for coal, orange for ore and blue for steel scrap. In the late 1980s, when the AISI founded the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI), the logo took on a new life reminiscent of its 1950s meaning.  \n\nThe Steelers had to petition the AISI in order to change the word "Steel" inside the Steelmark to "Steelers" before the logo was complete.\n\nThe Steelers are the only NFL team that sports their logo on only one side of the helmet. At first, this was a temporary measure because the Steelers weren't sure they would like the look of the logo on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them before going all-out.\n\nEquipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo.\n\nBecause of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently. \n\nToday's helmet reflects the way the logo was originally applied and it has never been changed.

The Steelers are the only NFL team that puts their logo on only one side of the helmet (the right side). At first, it was a test to see how the logo appeared on their helmets, but its popularity led the team to leave it that way permanently. Hope this helps you out!

The speaker in the helmet is only used to call a play when the ball is dead. It is not used during live play...trust me, there is no time for a QB to listen to a coach during live play.

A player gets a sticker for an out standing play. Examples: QB sack, interception, touchdown etc

In 1962, the equipment manager, Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo on one side to see how it would do for the year.  Previously, the Steelers had put the players numbers on the helmets (like Alabama). Anyways, back to 1962, the Steelers went 9-5 and were the winningest franchise to date and made it to the 'Playoff Bowl'. During the season the logo was on a yellow helmet, they wanted to do something special for the playoffs so they went to Black. This helped the logo stand out more. A combination of interest of the one-sided logo and superstition kept the Steeler's helmet the way it is to this day.

If it is a team fine, then it goes to the Company or owner of the team to be used as management of that company (team) in repairs, uniforms, or just to help the team. If it is a league fine, then I believe that they say it goes to the NFL or whatever league for the betterment of the league.  Prob still goes into the commish's pocket, but for their sake, I am sure they would say that it is donated or used for advertising or some crap like that.

He is calling out set signals to his players. It also lets the WR/RBs know if he is changing the play and/or when the ball should be snapped.

Some teams will use them some will not.  I have heard of some schools College and High school giving out the stickers for starting a game.  Each one will be different and it is tough to tell what they are for.  I have seen some schools that have different stickers that meant differnt things.  On the other hand some schools will have the same sticker and award for there goals.  I do know that at Georgia they have white dog bones for good plays and the Black ones are for academics.
