Minnesota Gophers: Oldest Piece of Gopher Football History? TBT

In last weeks TBT livingat45north asked a good question in the comments, “whats the oldest piece of Gopher football history that we have?” Good question!

He specifies that he’s talking about physical items like jerseys. Which is good for me because I’ve already written about the oldest photograph. After talking to several people here I think I found the answer.

The Little Brown Jug. If you believe the current LBJ is the original from 1903 than it’s the oldest thing in Gopherdom. It would be easy to end the post here but technically we don’t have the jug (it’s in Ann Arbor).
