75 Years????

[ArtMonkDrillz]

On TV during the game they said that the Steelers and the Eagles are also celebrating their 75th anniversaries this season, but the Steelers franchise was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. I know they started in the same city and all, but they usually go by when the franchise was founded for these anniversaries.

Originally named the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team joined the NFL in 1933 [1] when owner Art Rooney, Sr. paid a US$2,500 franchise fee to the league.[2] Prior to 1933, strict state blue laws had prevented sporting events from taking place on Sundays, when most NFL games were scheduled.
