Steelers fans can't hide their passion for the team.
It's on display wherever they, wearing their Steelers gear to every end of the globe.
And that passion is something they love to share on their social media accounts.
Well, there is no better time than now to do just that.
On Sunday, August 31, Steelers Nation will be showing off their black and gold pride unlike any other fan base does.
For years, Steelers fans from around the world have simultaneously celebrated and displayed their love of the Steelers on the Sunday prior to the start of the season.
It's a tradition that first started in Mexico, and Steelers "World Photo Day" has spread around the world. There are already multiple countries committed to participate this year, including the United States, Mexico, Ireland, and Germany, just to name a few.
"World Photo Day has grown into an annual Steelers tradition," said Dan Rooney, Steelers Director of Business Development & Strategy. "Each year, it's exciting to see Steelers Nation put their Black & Gold on full display all around the world. We look forward to seeing it grow even more this year."
The day provides Steelers Nation around the globe the perfect opportunity to put on their black and gold and show their support for the Steelers ahead of the team's season opener against the New York Jets.
How do you get involved? It's simple and totally up to each fan. You can gather in large groups with friends or family, at a local landmark, in your fan cave, or even with a flag from your country if you would like. Wherever and how you want to show your love for the team works, as there is no wrong way.
The key is, take a picture on Sunday, August 31, then share it on social media using the hashtag #SteelersWorldWide.
You can share your photos on the Steelers Fans Foto Official Facebook page or on other forms of social media. Make sure to use the hashtag #SteelersWorldWide.
Make sure to show the world the power of Steelers Nation on Sunday, August 31.
The annual event was developed by Sergio Carrasco and Guillermo Vargas, two Steelers fans who live in Mexico, an area where the Steelers have a long-standing relationship because of the huge fanbase. Their official accounts are listed here:
