Historical NotesA Steelerettes sweater owned and worn by donor Judy Hemma Marston when she served as a cheerleader for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1966 and 1967. Beginning in 1962, the Steelers had Robert Morris Junior College students cheer at their games - the squad became one of the first in pro football. The Steelers ended the practice in 1970 when they moved to Three Rivers Stadium.
