Pittsburgh Hospital Wraps Babies In Steelers Terrible Towels (PHOTOS)

A Pittsburgh hospital is showing its support for the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV this week by wrapping newborn babies in the yellow Terrible Towels.

Sharon Johnson, clinical supervisor at the hospital's Family Birth Center, told Patch.com that "They're born Steelers fans here in Pittsburgh."

"She can choose her religion, but she can't choose what team she likes," one father said.

"It's pretty awesome," another father named Joe Laffey said. "I got a new baby and a new Terrible Towel. Couldn't ask for anything more."

Awesome stuff. I saw some other cool ideas for Terrible Towels at http://www.terrible-towels.com Stuff like using them as placemats, wall hangings, and stuff of that sort.

The perfect way to be born into this world- wrapped in black and gold. This is just tooooo cute- even better than stockings at Christmastime.

I hope this was staged for the photograph because any parent knows you should not cover a newborn with any sort of blanket that goes higher than the chest

It's hilarious that only fathers were quoted for this story. Guess the moms were either woozy, sleeping or getting stitched up. I mean, the towels are nice and all, but giving birth and recovering is a horrible, nasty thing (IMO), and a terrible towel wouldn't make it any better.

At least the hospital pictures will be cute.

Okay, okay. Setting my feelings for the Steelers as an organization aside - this is adorable and the cutest thing I've seen in awhile.

That just aint right.

Did wrap mine in a Manchester United scarf and toss a nerf soccer ball in the bassinet.

My mother gave birth to me in this very hospital 45 years ago. We didn't always have great teams but we always had great family memories...My mother passed away last November. The last gift she gave me...a "terrible towel"!!! Thanks Mom, love and miss you!!! Goooooooo Stillers!!!
