Book Description
Today the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of pro football's most successful and prestigious franchises, but that wasn't always the case. As America was emerging from the turbulent decade of the 1960s the Steelers' front office had their sites squarely focused on the future. Relive the on the field and back room moments that shaped Steelers' history and led the Steel City to four Super Bowl victories. The Color of Sundays tells the story of how Bill Nunn Jr., Art Rooney, and the Steelers' front office reshaped the franchise. Bill Nunn Jr.'s strategy was simple; scout talent where many other teams had failed and bring in players from the historically black colleges and universities. This period in Steelers history was instrumental in the building of the "Steel Curtain" defense with future Pro Football Hall of Fame picks such as Charles Edward "Mean Joe" Greene, L.C. Greenwood and Mel Blount. There were important picks on offensive as well including the future Hall of Famer John Stallworth. The Color of Sundays: The Secret Strategy that Built the Steelers Dynasty is set in the broader context of the time when a nation for set for change, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were poised to embrace that change.
