AW, HELL NAW
If you thought the 19-0 shit was out of hand last year, you might want to sit down for this one. Somebody in Pittsburgh has already deemed Super Bowl XLIII a foregone conclusion, and started a line of apparel that…um…well…just read the fucking blockquote:
A Pittsburgh-area printing company is releasing its newest Pittsburgh Steelers T-shirt today to area retailers. All Pro Embroidery and Screen Printing is releasing its “On The Road To Sixburgh” T-shirt to retailers as the Steelers attempt to be the first franchise to win six Super Bowls.
Steelers MVP linebacker and NFL Defensive Player Of The Year James Harrison is featured on the shirt.
Their next line of shirts? Hopefully something like, “Big Ben Has Full Recovery From Concussion.” Dickbags.

Actually, I prefer the “Going out for a Six-Pack” signs.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Sixburgh? I suppose that passes for clever in western Pennsylvania.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:31 pm
can we get a KSK “On the Road to Shitsburgh” t-shirt going to compete?
January 21st, 2009 at 12:31 pm
In my opinion, Sienna Miller has a far superior idea for a Pittsburgh-themed t-shirt.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:33 pm
The shirts come in XXXXXL, XXXXL, XXXL, and XXL for the lady folk.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
As soon as I saw those perfect season NE shirts last year for the Patriot fanbase to buy up I knew that football Gods would strike them down for their hubris. Made $450 betting on los Gigantes del Nuevo York. Now I’m thinking it’s time to bet on red. Oh, and fuck the steelers
January 21st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Cardinals fans don’t need catchy slogans for their first team shirt.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:35 pm
DaydreamBillever and LLUA for the win.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Plus, “On the road to” a title doesn’t imply the SB is a foregone conclusion like 19-0 does. If they lose, they’re still “on the road to” it next year.

Can’t wait to see little Nicaraguan kids running around, wearing these shirts after the Super Bowl.
As if the country needed another reason to root against the Steelers.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:48 pm
It’s just a matter of time until we see a Steeler fan getting 6 Lombardi trophies tattooed on his head a week before the Super Bowl.

Dude. Come on.

I still think “One For the Cock” has a better ring to it.
January 21st, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Dude. Come on.
Have to agree
January 21st, 2009 at 1:01 pm
“Road to Sixburgh” often gets overshadowed by the other “Road to….” movies starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby
January 21st, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I think we can all agree the Steelers have won the race to Six.
/happy to jinx these fuckers every chance I get.

Dere gettin dere six.
None uh yinz denies dis!
AZ fans move your butts over, I’m climbing on the temporary bandwagon.

Is that where Jenna von Oÿ lives now?
January 21st, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Between “Sixburgh” and that terrible design I’m pretty certain that an eight year-old designed that shirt. Either that or Big Ben had some free time from killing terrorists.
January 21st, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Making a run for the NFL title and douchiest NFL fan base at the same time? Who do you think you are, the Patriots?
January 21st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Super Bowls are all fine and dandy, but overall, don’t the Packers, Bears, and Giants all have 6 or more NFL championships including Super Bowls?
January 21st, 2009 at 1:51 pm
The Steelers will never receive their comeuppance! YOU HEAR ME?! NO COMEUPPANCE!

May this shirt remain current for the rest of time.
/sorry Ape
January 21st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I thought the Cardinals t-shirts were worse:
1. Drought over in the desert
2. 1st is just the beginning
3. We are who noone thought we were — champs!
4. Falcons (checkbox with check in it) Panthers (same) Eagles (same). Steelers (with open box)
I mean really, it’s a t-shirt. You’re going to get all “aw hell naw” over a fricken shirt that some guy who probably sells watches out of his trunk designed? Slow news day perhaps?
January 21st, 2009 at 2:14 pm
this is about as clever as a “jump to conclusions mat”…..
January 21st, 2009 at 2:35 pm
In the interest of full disclosure shouldn’t they change the name of Heinz Field to Summer’s Eve Stadium?

January 21st, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Steelers have already won the Super Bowl. I have been to the future and seen it. I will now be placing my entire life savings on the exact score which is…
You didn’t think I’d tell you did you?
/no way they can blow this game, right? RIGHT?!?!
January 21st, 2009 at 2:44 pm
@Porky, your exactly right.
The Packers have 9 Championships, 3 Superbowls; The Giants have 4 Championships, 3 Superbowls; The Bears have won 8 Championships, 1 Superbowl….so in conclusion, I have way too much free time on my hands.
January 21st, 2009 at 2:45 pm
@jackin’; any other potential gamblers…
Mark porky’s words…
Cards will lose the game but beat the spread when Warner goes desperation apeshit (no pun intended) in the 4th. Do something with your money that’s more guaranteed to return your investment, like investing in Circuit City stock.
January 21st, 2009 at 2:45 pm
This makes me hate the Steelers even more. Fuck.
January 21st, 2009 at 2:46 pm
that should be “you’re”…my bad!
January 21st, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Granted, I’m rooting against the Steelers, but I do sympathize with you, Ape. A few years back, a television station I worked for in New Orleans thought it would be a real clever idea to run with the slogan “Black and Gold to the Super Bowl” for the Saints’ impending NFC Championship Game against the Bears. I hated it from the word go, and with every frustrating turn of events during that game, I wanted to punch my fat, bloated news director in his face. Fucking asshole…
He’s also a Steelers fan, but that’s beside the point…
January 21st, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I like the “I hope Arizona crushes them now” tag. As though Punter was on the fence about this game before he saw the shirt.
January 21st, 2009 at 3:04 pm
ive been to the future and tebow was circumsising a kid wearing one of these
January 21st, 2009 at 3:31 pm
did jeff just imply this is a news site?
January 21st, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Does anyone think rothlesburger can even count to 6?

ONE FOR THE PIGGY THAT WENT TO MARKET ON SECOND FOOTHAND.
January 21st, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Ape, when you order yours get two. One XL for now and one XXXL for next fall.
January 21st, 2009 at 4:35 pm
@ Ape
Exactly. “On the road” does not imply that it’s a foregone conclusion. They ARE on the road…doesn’t mean they’ll make it there. They didn’t print up shirts saying PITTSBURGH STEELERS SIX TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS BEST TEAM IN THE NFL EVAR!!!!!!!!!1 This shirt =/= 19-0, sorry.
I think you’re stretching for hate here a little Punter. You shouldn’t have to work so hard against Pittsburgh.
And yeah, let’s not pretend you weren’t rooting against the Steelers from the beginning.
January 21st, 2009 at 4:43 pm
It’s just like the “one for the thumb” thing. It’s hoping, not assuming.
Sorry your uterus hurts so bad there, Punter.
January 21st, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Plus, “On the road to” a title doesn’t imply the SB is a foregone conclusion like 19-0 does. If they lose, they’re still “on the road to” it next year.
Right. We ARE on the road to six. That doesn’t mean we can’t still crash and burn. Hell, everyone whipped out their “One for the Thumb” merch every season for 25 years until we finally got the damn thing.
So, what’s your stance on these stupid AZ shirts that say “Flying South for the Winner?” Nothing puts fear in the hearts of your opponent more than lame bird puns.
January 21st, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Keep sitting behind your computers.
Over at the asylum, how do they let you post here? Do you have to stand?
January 21st, 2009 at 5:36 pm
“On The Road To Sixburgh”
Change the name of your city all you like, Pittsburgh. When people arrive, they’ll still be in the same foul-smelling dystopian nightmare.
January 21st, 2009 at 5:50 pm
and it shall come to pass the on the first day of the second month the issue of the mightly beast [49ers fans] and of the jackass [Cowgirls fans] shalt lay down their arms and unite in exhortations that the fucking steelers get the living shit pounded out of them
January 21st, 2009 at 5:51 pm
@J.L. White:
I’ll spot you ‘dystopian nightmare’, but foul smelling?
You’ve obviously never been to Cedar Rapids.
January 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm
bullshit post. you don’t even make sense, 19-0 is a guarantee. the road to six? doesn’t say anything about getting there, just that they’re on the way.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:14 pm
@Go: No. But if it smells worse than Shitsburgh, then I don’t want to go there.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Just think, in some third world country there will be shirts created that read Arizona Cardinals Super Bowl XLIII Champions 2009.
Sweatshops are making heretic clothing.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:55 pm
hell in the steelers “here we go” song, that is updated each year- the loudest chanted line is always “Pittsburgh’s going to the SuperBowl” by a bunch of drunk Yinzers. Y? because we’re a cocky bunch of fottball fans who always think we have a chance. so bring on the hate, your team didn’t make it and ours did. and yes, that shirt saying sucks- but don’t worry, they’ll be worse ones
January 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Touché Beckeye, touché.
If Punter is swayed by t-shirts so easily, I think he’s going to have to switch back over to the Steelers side.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:03 pm
You’re trying way too hard with the hate. The t-shirt does not at all indicate any foregone conclusion, whatsoever. We sought our One for the Thumb for 25 years. I find this sudden backlash against the Steelers amusing. The Steelers are the paragon of how a professional sports franchise should be run; the fan base is immeasurable but they’ve only won one Super Bowl in nearly 29 years. The Broncos, Giants, Dallas, 49ers, Patriots, have had more success in that time. Christ even Tampa and the Rams have won as many Super Bowls. So to insinuate that Steelers fans are fair-weather front runners is not only wrong, its intellectually dishonest. People like the Steelers because they like their image, personnel, the way they play football, their management, and the mania of their fans. Are Steelers fans gregarious? Sure. Obnoxious sometimes? Show a team whose fans aren’t. But to compare the team, or their fans, in any way to the New England shit show is, in the words of Jesus Quintana, “laughable man! ha ha!”
January 21st, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Yinzers are worse than Pats Fans.

January 21st, 2009 at 9:51 pm
F U Steelers are the Iron Curtain, they will win!

They needed something dumber than ‘One for the Thumb’. I thought it was impossible, and yet here it is.

That’s even more retarded than 19-0. Fuck Pittsburgh.
January 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
I find this sudden backlash against the Steelers amusing.
southside has obviously crawled out from under the rock for the first time since Super Bowl XL.
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I was trying to think of a clever “BURGH” pun, but fuck it. Pittsburgh fucking sucks. There and Allantown are the two shittiest pieces of shit towns I’ve ever been to. Pittsburgh makes BOSTON look attractive. I have never seen an attractive woman in Boston, but I’ve never seen one woman who’s worth talking to in Pittsburgh.
So let them have their shirts, they still live in the worst city in America (you hear that Kansas City? You’re off the hook!)
January 24th, 2009 at 10:46 am
HAHA, Love all the Steeler haters. Even better when you cant handle that the team has a chance to have more rings than any other team including whatever team you losers are rooting for, so lets talk about how bad the city sucks. “You must be dumb if you live there”. Why dont you talk about the players mothers? Infantile retards! HAHA.. BTW it does say “ON THE ROAD TO”, fucking morons.
Man, am I dumb.
January 25th, 2009 at 11:51 am
I saw these T-shirts everyone is talking about and I’ll tell you what Jim, these Steeler fans can’t even spell Pittsburgh right. Also, little known fact Jim, Jason Gildon used to abort fetuses at random.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Is it just a coincidence that no one has posted a comment on this story since January 25th?? Hmm…..
At what point will this dude post a story on how much he hates the “Knockin’ on Seven’s Door” t-shirt? “I hate the Steelers…..WAAAAAAH!” “I want them to lose…..WAAAAAAAH!” Top notch reporting, sport. Top notch…..
August 29th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
This is a f*cking piece of shit blog and you losers who are wrirting it should just crawl into a closet and shoot yourselves and do the world a favour. i really think that would be best.
