Its all about marketing. Name me one professional sports franchise that does use yellow as one of their prime colors that actually calls it yellow. Yellow must have some kind of negative connotation. I guess no team wants to be known as "cowardly".

How are the Condors doing this year?

They do that because gold is a lot easier to spell than yellow.

steeler fan delusions #436: Steeler colors are actually black and yellow, although even diehard Steeler fans will argue for hours to the contrary trying to claim the colors are black and gold (N.O. Saints colors). further evidence deep down they don't even like the Steelers either, just their manufactured "success".

*if the nfl were actually scripted and loosely rigged, just as the globetrotters also require the generals...could this millenium's Browns actually be intentional afcn cannonfodder?

Yet you somehow forgot that the Cavs seem to be confused about gold/yellow as well. The Lakers and Packers too. Dummies.

Wine and gold?...I don't know man, may be "whine" and gold if LeBron fails yet again to deliver a championship to the great city of Cleveland.

If you two geniuses knew what a dictionary was, perhaps you could look up "gold".

gold

(gōld)

n.

3. A light olive-brown to dark yellow, or a moderate, strong to vivid yellow.

So the Steelers, Cavs, Lakers, and Packers...Black and Gold, Wine and Gold, Purple and Gold, and Green and Gold are all correct designations.

You folks need to find something else to whine about.

Oh man, I always thought a Steeler license plate was an invitation to play bumper cars. No wonder why I'm always getting all these dirty looks from someone speaking fluent cave man.

ah, you are correct, my mistake. They lost to Miami to fail to get there. Lost the conference championship

to Miami and failed to get there.

Loaded down with sheep, goats, and chickens (aka livestock lovers).

But, in 72, they were losing a playoff game vs those Raiders, and the immaculate decpetion reception happened.

The big accident that got the squealers into the super bowl. But guess how it happened. See, when the play happened,

two of the officials said "td"... but the others did not. So, the head referee went to the squealer's sideliine to use

the phone to the press box to talk to Art McNally, the NFL's supervisor of officials.

Actually, FYI, the Steelers did not get into the Super Bowl the year of the Immaculate Reception.....just setting the record straight.

first accidental superbowl.

The home of three rivers sissies controversies - The great friend of the NFL commish...

Art Rooney, had it work out for a while.

and the squealer Orc legend fades, and the little groupies still brag about the good old days, hoping

to make orc magic happen again, while wearing Patriot, Seahawk, Denver jerseys, until they

can wear their squealer jerseys again.

Fact is stranger than truth.

Raiders, not a popular team with the NFL.

The squealers had drafted their qb, 1st pick overall, 1970, in Bradshaw, and they sucked, with Bradshaw

being booed nearly out of town, while throwing a lot of interceptions. Their squeal cheapshot curtain defense

was still very talented, and kept them in games, despite Bradshaws ints... and of course, old Bradshaw had

a very powerful running game in Francis Harris @@, and Rocky Bleier.

But, in 72, they were losing a playoff game vs those Raiders, and the immaculate decpetion reception happened.

The big accident that got the squealers into the super bowl. But guess how it happened. See, when the play happened,

two of the officials said "td"... but the others did not. So, the head referee went to the squealer's sideliine to use

the phone to the press box to talk to Art McNally, the NFL's supervisor of officials.

and guess what. read it for yourselves:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Reception

"In the press box the telephone was answered either by Dan Rooney, son of Steelers owner Art Rooney, or by Steelers public relations director Joe Gordon (reports vary), and McNally was put on the line.^[7][10][11] According to McNally, Swearingen "never asked me about the rule, and never asked what I saw. All he said was, 'Two of my men say that opposing players touched the ball.' And I said, 'everything's fine then, go ahead.'"^[7][12] After Swearingen hung up the phone Boston asked, "What do we got?" "We got a touchdown,"^[7][13] answered Swearingen, who then went back onto the field to signal the ruling to the crowd."

Yep. The squealers were sitting in the press box with the head of supervisor officials, and answered the phone. THEN,

McNally went with the td, what the one official first said...

and they never used any replay. Just went with it.

Then, in the putrid, controversial annals of squealer assdom, and squealer influencies and friendshipsies with

their good buddy in the NFL, the commish and the head of the refs...

they reached their superbowl. So, then the squealer bosses figured they had better draft poor Bradshaw, the interception

thrower, some wr's.

so, they drafted Lynn Swann, a fantastic 6' tall acrobat/ballet dancer/wr sensation in the first round.

and then they drafted 6'2" John Stallworth in the fourth round, as well as a few other HOF players in the

74 draft, and they hit paydirt. For gosh sakesies, it didn't matter where the hell Bradshaw threw

the pass, they would find a way to catch it.

So, ever since, despite playing next to the sewage of the three rivers area,

solely occupied by orcs... they simply replace any player they lose with another orc, and try to maintain

what they accidently got going years ago.
