Most Pittsburgh Steelers fans know some things about the origin of the Terrible Towel as a tradition in Pittsburgh. Myron Cope conceived the idea. Steelers fans have been waving the towel since 1975. A portion of the money fans use to buy official towels goes to charity. But what about playing Renegade at Steelers home games?
How long has it been a tradition to play the 1978 Styx song at Pittsburgh games to rally the team? And who conceived the idea?
The Renegade Origin
I found a great video of the Renegade origin story on the Steelers website.
