While Tucker was broadcasting televised away games, Donley and Hildebrand worked alongside Bob Prince on the radio. On February 7, 2016, the Florida Panthers' mascot, Stanley C Panther, blew his nose into a Terrible Towel, with the Pittsburgh Penguins down 0–2 with around 6 minutes left in the third period.

Chuck Noll was selected and formally introduced as head coach on January 27, 1969. The first half of the Steelers existence should be nicknamed “The Forgettable Forty.” From 1933 to 1972 the Steelers had a combined record of 184 wins – 287 losses – 18 ties (winning percentage of .376).

A month later in October 1920, Conrad’s employer Westinghouse Electric capitalized on the increasing popularity of his amateur broadcasts by establishing the first commercial radio station (KDKA).
You feel like your with the only 47 friends there are left in the world… We’re asking all the fans to give the Dolphins a taste of what it’s like to feel like you’re the only people here from your home town.” It was Oakland defensive end Horace Jones who came up with the idea for black handkerchiefs. The Steelers organization wasn’t happy about being overshadowed by the Pirates, especially since they were trying to expand their popularity and fanbase. The year following Cope’s retirement in 2005, the Steelers won their 5th Super Bowl. Despite low demand, the towel was being distributed to multiple retailers for the first time. The overall success of The Terrible Towel was ultimately dependent on the success of the Steelers, and on the persistent promotion by its creator Myron Cope.

Upon the sudden popularity of the Terrible Towel, Pittsburgh-area department stores sold out all gold and black hand towels. When Tucker returned to the broadcast booth in 1940, television was still in its infancy. [21][22] Gimbel's has since gone out of business.

He was right back in the booth for the Steelers 3rd game of the season against the Browns in Week 4. His first story was sold to True Magazine, and was about local Pittsburgh boxer and former welterweight world champion Fritzie Zivic, who was known for being a dirty fighter. In fact, Murphy’s had first promoted the August 19th Babushka Night on July 30th, one day before the Babushka Night against the Phillies. During the 1993 season, The Terrible Towel was back in production.

The Raiders come-from-behind 28-26 victory ended the Dolphins dynasty and sent the Raiders to their second straight AFC Championship game. He retired after the 2004 season, during which the Steelers posted their best record in franchise history, going 15-1 under Ben Roethlisberger (they lost to the Patriots and Tom Brady in the AFC Championship game). When game day arrived, a record 75,312 fans packed the stadium.

Cope also had a popular story published in the November 1959 edition of Sport Magazine about quarterback Bobby Layne who joined the Steelers from the Detroit Lions in 1958 to play out his Hall-of-Fame career.

Despite the loss, the Steelers had turned the corner and finally looked like a perennial contender once again.

And that is why Steeler Nation has embraced it and doesn’t appreciate the towel being disrespected. Residents of Pittsburgh had just gotten their first glimpse of television a year earlier in June 1939 when local department store Kaufmann’s showcased the technology during a week-long exhibition at its 5th Avenue flagship store. It’s taken me a bit to curate all of the content, but with last season being the 40th anniversary of the creation of The Terrible Towel, I wanted to get this site launched.

[16] The victory also spawned the production of a Towel featuring the logos of the six Super Bowls that the franchise has won. There are no licensed Gimbel’s towels from the late 70s (or even any unlicensed towels from that era). When I started attending games in the late 80s as a young kid, we would sit in the 6th Street Parking garage in my grandfather’s old burgundy Cadillac listening to Cope on the pregame show while eating chipped ham sandwiches.

to salvage a season that began disastrously and break the four year playoff drought.

Fans and players participated in a Green Weenie Whammy ceremony, where they pointed their guns in the direction of Forbes Field to hex all upcoming opponents. [20] The current cost of a towel is approximately $12 (in May, 2017, at Steelers' online store). The Terrible Towel is indeed a “positive force” not only for the Steelers, but more importantly for those less fortunate, like Danny Cope. Myron Cope 1950 – Sports Editor of Pitt News.
Without Bob Prince and his successful gimmicks, particularly his babushka, WTAE would have pressured Cope to create and promote a gimmick for the Steelers. More importantly, he was a dedicated fundraiser for the school, helping to raise $4 million. Giusti would be chased in the fifth inning with the Pirates leading 4-3, which would ultimately be the final score. The Pirates were contenders each year throughout the 1970s, winning the NL East six times and bookending the decade in 1971 and 1979 with World Series trophies. Myron Cope’s game analysis was definitely “colorful”. The Steelers ascension from a 40-year perennial loser to the most successful franchise since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, came at the exact time that the city of Pittsburgh was beginning to enter the early stages of a severe economic downturn. I’ll start with blog posts, but as content increases I’ll be creating independent galleries and subsections that will be easier to navigate.
