Terrible Towel Birthday

A very Happy Birthday to the Terrible Towel. As tweeted out today, the iconic towel turns 48 years old. Created by legendary announcer Myron Cope for the team’s 1975 Divisional Game against the Baltimore Colts, it’s been a staple of Steelers’ Nation ever since.

And not only has it shown up in every football stadium, it’s been across the world, under the ocean, and in space.
