Product Details

The Birth of the Spartans poster (original)

(1960s vintage?) We bet you've never seen one of these! We think it was distributed in the 1960s upon the retirement of George Alderton as sports editor of the Lansing State Journal. It tells the complete story about how Michigan State University's athletic teams came to be known as the Spartans.

This piece measures approximately 17" x 11".

EXCELLENT condition
