Pittsburgh is the only NFL team to have its logo on one side of the helmet. The logo, on the right side, has three hypocycloids (diamond shapes) with colors yellow, red and blue that each represent certain elements of steel.
The reason the logo was put on one side is interesting. It goes back to 1962 when it was first put on the helmet on an experimental basis. But that team won nine games, which set a franchise record at the time, and the team decided to keep one decal on the right side permanently.
