The Terrible Towel is one of the most iconic fan tools in Pittsburgh, and quite possibly in sports. It is easily recognizable and symbolic of one of football's most storied franchises. It was created in 1975 by the legendary Myron Cope. What started out as a gimmick that season became a rallying tool for fans in the city and at games. The fans continued to use the towel on the way to the Steelers winning their second Super Bowl.
