Abakwa-Steelers bahlala liqela elilodwa kuphela kwi-NFL ukuya kwizemidlalo igoli yayo kwicala elinye kuphela le-helmet.

Olunye utshintsho lokugqibela lwenzeka kwi logo ngo-1963 xa i-Steelers ngempumelelo icela i-AISI ukuba ivume ukuba itshintshe igama elithi "I-Steel" ngaphakathi kwe-Steelmark ibe "kwi-Steelers." Emva koko i-Steelers yongeza umgca wegolide kunye namanani omdlali kwaye yatshintsha imaski ebusweni esuka kwi-gray ukuya kumnyama, kodwa ngaphandle koko, i-helmets ihlale ingatshintshi ukususela ngo-1963.
