Seceding from Steelers Nation

The edition is a focus on non-Pittsburgh sports fans in Pittsburgh and/or on a distaste for Pittsburgh sports fans. We’d aspire for 20 stories, graphics and pieces of art in total.

· A Shirt of Another Color — A story bundle, talking to fans about experiences they’ve had wearing jerseys of other sports fans
ART:
Photograph portraits of the fans in their shirts

· Black and Yellow Cult — Stories of excessive fandom, stalking, chasing down, crying, mass hysteria over the sports.
ART:
Chart — cost of supporting your team — a break down of the money people spend on season tickets, parking, food, etc.
Poll — How many dates have you gone on to Black & Yellow games?
— Rate these in terms of importance: Food, Shelter, Water, The Steelers, and Beer

· “Fan” Art — Art satirizing black and yellow players either for their physical attributes or for their public personas.

· Diary of a Jersey Chaser — Chronicling the events of a woman’s life as she pursues black and gold clad players.
ART: Girls in craftily cut jerseys converted into “sexy” outfits.

· Photo essay — tackiest Steelers paraphernalia

· Police Records — pull public records of athletes’ police records and compare them to other teams in their leagues.
SIDE BAR: Chronicling fan disturbances.
SIDE BAR: Fans behavior at other stadiums

· Game day eating — a graphic of the caloric intake of popular game day food — complete with recipes.
ART: Photos of the food above each description

· Fan cheers — recordings of popular cheers with an explanation of their origins.
SIDE BAR: Lyrics from the cheers

· Photo Essay — a montage of people with sunburns around their body/face paint

· View from the outside — Talking to people from other cities and people new to Pittsburgh about their opinion of “Steelers Nation” and the Black and Yellow Cult.

· Philosophical analysis of the Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” — hint: despite it’s prevalence at sporting events the actual words have little to do with Pittsburgh athletics.
ACCOMPANYING: Montage of fans’ videos where they’re singing black and yellow (with permission, of course).
