The Pittsburgh Steelerettes were a cheerleading squad in the National Football League, serving as the cheerleaders for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1960s. The squad eventually disbanded, and the Steelers to this day are among the few NFL teams that do not have cheerleaders. While as of 2011 the team still does not have cheerleaders, in 2007 the team unveiled the next-closest thing to cheerleaders: mascot Steely McBeam.
