I started a page on my site to contain older ISU photos since some of the people have liked looking at them. I only put five on today, but will try to put a couple on each day as I have time.
Not the greatest photos but...

Very cool to see the old stuff.

Does anyone else really like the tornado logo from the 80s as seen in picture 3? I kind of wish that was incorporated into our new logo.

wow, those are some alarmingly short basketball shorts to the left of Johnny...

sad thing is, I remember wearing similar length shorts in high school.... thank god michigan made the more baggy, longer shorts trendy!

Actually, the person that started the longer short trend was Michael Jordan. Michigan then took it to the "thug level" with the below the knees look.

I added a few more this morning, and this particular photo is nothing special except I think #52 might be Greg McDermott but am not positive.

Why is it our players always look like they are in their 40's back then.

I love the new logo....

Agreed I truely prefer the new logo and mascots. Then again I'm too young to even remember most of the people in those photos, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

It would be nice to have pictures of our uniforms that go back for the last 30 years, both home and away. No place to find that. Fun to see

That was the "reward" helment. Similar to the pot leafs, I mean Buckeye leafs Ohio State gives out. The player of the week earned the distinction of wearing a different colored helment the next week!

Those were the days!

Yeah, that was a real great idea too - letting the other team know exactly where the player of the week was on the field.
