Bethlehem Steel were one of seven Philadelphia-area clubs that entered the first US Open Cup in 1913 (in fact, the USFA sent out the invite on September 12, 1913).
Steel have won a total of 5 USOC titles, tied for the most all-time. They have also made the joint second-most appearances (6) in the US Open Cup final (along with Chicago Fire). Steel’s last title (and appearance in the final) was in 1926.

The USOC warmup top is a nod to the Steel's success in the tournament. The diamond logo is inspired by historical photos.
