what city's major sports teams all have same color?
While other cities have sports teams decked out in the colors of their flags-the New York Mets, for example-Pittsburgh is unique in that all three of its major teams go with the same color scheme. It has not always been the case, as two of the teams have worn other colors in their histories. The Steelers-originally known as the Pirates-have always had black and gold since their founding in 1933. The baseball Pirates, who started in 1887, had combinations of red and blue before switching to black and gold in 1948.
