The Terrible Curse
When Myron Cope created the Terrible Towel for Steelers fans back in 1975, little did he know that it’d become one of the most recognizable symbols in modern-day sports. You can find fans with their Towels almost anywhere, from families posing with them on the Great Wall of China to soldiers twirling them on game day in the Middle East. There’s even been a Terrible Towel in space. Cope, who sadly passed away from respiratory failure in 2008, still has a way of reminding Steelers fans that he’ll always be around to watch over the team…and curse anyone who dares abuse his legacy.
