According to that list of top 50 employers in Allegheny County, only 1 has any affiliation to the once glorious industry that Pittsburgh choose it's football mascot name. Yes, that's right, only US Steel (which only ranks #12 on the list) is the sole remaining company affiliated with steel.
With that said, let's focus the rest of this thread to establish a new nickname for the Pittsburgh NFL team.
I'll get it started. Keeping in the thought of their largest area employers, I'll suggest the Pittsburgh Medical-Banking-Governmentalists.
They should go back to being called the Pirates!

But you got me wondering what other teams would be called based on their largest employers in that city:
- The Cincinnati Krogers? The Cincinnati Bag Boys? The Cincinnati Grocery Chain?
- The Cleveland Clinics? The Cleveland Bed Pans?
- The Baltimore Investment Managers?
