The Terrible Towel

This is a friend of mine that has been carrying "The Terrible Towel" on his journies for several weeks now. Its final destination is Wembley on Saturday 29th September 2013.

The Terrible Towel is a rally towel associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL). Created in 1975 by then Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope, The Terrible Towel has spread in popularity; fans take their Towel to famous sites while on vacation. The Towel has been taken to the peak of Mount Everest, and even into space on the International Space Station.

It is widely recognized as a symbol of the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh.
