Fashions

My usual attire for a tailgate (on a normal day) is pretty standard. On my head, I wear a leather helmet with the Steeler's emblem stitched on. Of course, I have to represent my boy (and future husband) Heath Miller and wear his black jersey. That is probably my most prized possession. I then have Steelers armbands as well as face paint or my black Steeler stickers that go under each eye. And last, but certainly not least, the final addition to any Steeler fan's wardrobe, the Terrible Towel. I like to show my pride for the black and gold, but I don't hold a candle to some of the other fanatics you can find in a parking lot of Heinz Field. For example I've seen the "Super Steeler", which is a fan turned super hero. He wears a cape and everything, it's pretty cool. I've seen (white) people dressed as Mike Tomlin. There are the people that have something Steelers on every article of clothing. Then there are the few crazy people who will go out in 2 degree weather and wear nothing but body paint and shorts (I try not to make eye contact with those people). Either way, you're bound to find someone that will make you do a double take. My suggestion is even if you don't have tickets for the game, just go down and people watch for a while. Sooner or later someone is going to give you a beer, so it's a win/win situation.
