1941 Michigan Wolverines Helmet and Uniform on Display
The winged helmet of the University of Michigan and its Hail to the Victors never rings truer than in this stunning image on a program cover from 1941.
The photo from Wikimedia Commons has a caption that reads: "October 11, 1941 University of Michigan versus the University of Pittsburgh football game program. The Board published it in Control of Physical Education at the University of Michigan."
The leather design in 1941 has the distinct pattern that we still recognize even though no face mask was equipped fo the soft material design. Note the brilliance of the winged design that carries over to the modern day helmet design of the Blue and Maize.
