We got Part 1 of my bud Jim’s sitdown with Steelers linebacking great Jack Ham last week. Today is Part 2. Word of advice, if you ask for an autograph, make sure it isn’t raining. And the pen works. Jim will vouch!

Since I got nothing but positive emails and tons of submissions for Great Moments in Unlicensed Pittsburgh Sports Merch while I was away on vacation, it looks like the feature will stay. For now, at least. This one was sent in by my buddy Carlin. Championships seem to bring out the best (worst?) in unlicensed […]

This is Hans. Hans hit me up many many months ago to let me know about his travels to every NFL stadium. It’s his Quest for 31. His words: Now entering its fourth year, the Quest for 31, will come to a close with a New Orleans Saints game at the Louisiana Superdome on December […]

Ah…the Troymanian Devil…a rare and spectacular creature. The lunacy contained in the Troymanian Devil knows no bounds. As is the case with other unlicensed Steelers shirts that we’ve looked at the past few days, there is no mention of the Steelers name or logo. It shows a guy in a Black and Gold football uniform […]

I have three pairs of these socks. I think they’re originally from some strip mall dollar store in Belle Vernon or Rostraver or something. They got away with writing STEELERS, but there’s no logos or anything remotely licensed on them. Typical pairs of officially-licensed socks have the logo displayed. But these crafty merchants are gonna […]

Not gonna lie, this one kills me. This shirt is from right after Super Bowl XL. As Steelers fans, we know this, so the shirt only needs to show the word “Super,” and make a triangle, Superman sorta logo so the “Super” part really sticks. It’s got the date that PITTSBURGH became 5 TIME SUPER […]

Well this seems like a good enough way to kick off Great Moments in Unlicensed Pittsburgh Sports Merch. I got this for my birthday from my aunt. As noted, the Steelers and Penguins are both champions of their respective sports, in so many words. The shirt clearly  references each team, although there isn’t a name […]

Just wanted to share some things before Great Moments in Unlicensed Pittsburgh Sports Merch kicks in around 2 PM today. At that point I’ll be hopefully getting outta Queens with ease and making my way to Virginia, then North Carolina. The picture above, from the PG via Steve is Alive, rules. Glad Cutch could redeem […]

I’m leaving for a mini vacation tomorrow. 3 days hiking in North Carolina, with one of ’em being used to try and get to the top of Mt. Mitchell. I’ll be around for tomorrow’s Mini Pony of the Day and possibly something else in the late morning, but we’re cuttin’ outta Queens around 2, and […]

MAJOR props to LJKC for sending this over. Apparently, people hold contests where they groom poodles to look like other stuff. And these guys don’t mess around, their poodles are completely converted into the owners’ creepy ideas. Pandas, Camels, even Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. But Steelers poodle takes the cake. Here’s a […]

It’s odd that I was watching the Steelers game with my bud HMJ this past weekend, and then I happened to stumble on these pictures. I think most would agree that these Steelers “tobacco” pipes are pretty cool-looking. This place here just put the pipe above online. Pre-Super Bowl XLIII Santonio Holmes just got way excited. And elsewhere, Michael Beasley […]
