The Pittsburgh Steelers, founded by Art Rooney in 1933, are the seventh-oldest franchise in the NFL, joining the league for a $2,500 fee and originally going by the name "Pirates." The team's roots stretch back to Rooney's semi-professional club, the Hope-Harvey team, which played on Pittsburgh's North Side before the city's blue laws against Sunday sports were repealed. The Rooney family has controlled the team for nearly its entire history, guiding it through decades of early futility to eventual glory. In 2008, the Steelers made history by becoming the first NFL team to win six Super Bowl titles, adding to their total of six league championships. Their storied legacy is further cemented by the 18 players, coaches, and administrators from the franchise who have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
