Historical NotesOne of the original production Steelers bump caps. This final product is smaller than the original production because it was cheaper to produce than the larger size. The company Steelers Hard Hats was created by donor Bob Pasquarelli to create these hats, an idea he came up with after college and sent to the NFL for approval.
