Agreed. I love the logo on one side thing with the Steelers.

The Steelers are the only NFL team that sports their logo on only one side of the helmet. At first, this was a temporary measure because the Steelers weren't sure they would like the look of the logo on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them before going all-out.

Equipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo.

Because of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently.

Today's helmet reflects the way the logo was originally applied and it has never been changed.

I'm partial to the Raiders. With the white jerseys its a great, classic, clean look.

So when Fox or MNF does the clashing helmets thing to start off their coverage the Steelers will always go from left to right...

Good call. The Raiders uniforms/helmets are great, too.

And as much as I dislike both the Chiefs and the Bears, their uniforms are really great as well.

Scalpers must love this Super Bowl. They've got two of the most rabid (if not THE most rabid) fan bases at their fingertips. They can jack up prices on Steeler and Packer fans unlike few other fan bases.

Also interesting in this is that these are two of the crappiest media markets in the US yet this is a ratings dream game.
