Pennsylvania's other team, and the main rival to the Philadelphia Keystones, are the Pittsburgh Rollers. The origin of the name is not entirely clear, but there are two prevailing schools of thought. The first is that the name originated from the volatile, streaky play of the early Pittsburgh teams where they would either flatten competition or roll over. The second is that the name was a barb at their Philadelphia counterparts. If Philadelphia is the 'Stones, then Pittsburgh is the Rollers.

I realize the sleeve patch is kitschy.
