At first, this was a temporary measure because the Steelers weren't sure they would like the look of the logo on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them before going all-out. Equipment manager back then Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet — the right side. The Steelers finished with a mark and became the team with the most wins in franchise history to date.
The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo. Because of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and also due to the team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave the helmet that way permanently.

In part because they're the only team that does it, and in part because an old gambler like team owner Art Rooney knew better than to toss away a lucky charm. As the team's history explains, "Because of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently.
I sort of like the stubborn idiosyncrasy of that; in a way, it's more emblematic of our city than the logo itself. Especially now that steel's importance here has waned. We do things in a Pittsburgh way that may seem odd or backwards to others, but it's ours. And anyway, the defense was once supposed to be an anachronism as well.
