During his 12 years in the United States Army, Brent Osbourne wore the American flag on his uniform while serving the nation. Now, he has designed a flag for his other "nation" -- the Steelers Nation.

Osbourne, a 35-year old former staff sergeant in the Kentucky National Guard and veteran of the Iraq War, is one of 32 winners of the NFL's "Fan Flag Challenge" -- a contest for fans to design a flag for each team. He will unveil his flag with the help of Steelers Hall of Fame center Dermontti Dawson during the nationally televised broadcast of NFL Kickoff festivities Wednesday night at New York's Rockefeller Center.

"The way I picture Steelers fans is the way I drew the flag," said Osbourne, of Wilkesboro, N.C.

The flag has the Steelers logo, emblazoned in the center of a circular view of Heinz Field and the Pittsburgh skyline over a field of black.

Six gold hypocycloids -- one for each Steelers' Super Bowl victory -- surround the images and "1933" -- the year the team was founded -- is stenciled in the top left corner.

Why wait? You can see it now.

I thought we already had a flag.

Maybe instead of worrying so much about flags, we can get somebody to erase Steely McBeam from recorded history. That would be much more beneficial to Steelers Nation.
