PITTSBURGH,None — The Pittsburgh Steelers have released two new versions of Myron Cope's legendary Terrible Towel.
A Spanish version of the towel, printed with "La Toalla Terrible," and a Halloween version, adorned with pumpkins, bats and spiderwebs, were both for sale on the team's website Friday for $7.95.
The original Terrible Towel was created in 1975 by then Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope.
Over the years, the team has released several different special edition towels.
After the Steelers won Super Bowl XL in 2005, a towel with the words "Super Bowl XL Champions", the date, final score, and Super Bowl XL logo was released. The victory also spawned the production of a towel featuring the logos of the six Super Bowls that the franchise has won. In October 2009, a pink Terrible Towel was introduced to promote Breast Cancer Awareness.
Proceeds from Terrible Towel sales have helped raise more than $2.2 million for the Allegheny Valley School.
