1920s-1940s
Part of the Wilder Family Collection in the University Archives, this cardigan was worn by cheerleaders in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
1930s
This letterman sweater and fourth-year letterman award belonged to John Madison Brooks (1936). Mr. Brooks lettered in football, basketball, and baseball.
1950s
This oversized Tech sticker was used in the 1950s and incorporated marks from the Louisiana Polytechnic Institute era.
1960s-2000s
This bulldog stands the test of time. Over the years, the sweater was swapped out for various sports’ jerseys. This mark is one of our longest-used marks in history.
Late 1960s – early 1990s
Script Tech has been a mainstay of baseball uniforms since the late 1960s. The uniforms pictured used this design from 1969-77.
1980s-1990s
Another version of script Tech, this mark was used on everything from cups and posters to band uniforms from the 1980s through the late 1990s.
Louisiana Tech students from surrounding areas would catch the bus, or even hitchhike, back from their homes on the weekends. Times were different, and their belongings were often packed into a small suitcase. These students were proud of being a part of the Tech Family, so they would embellish their cases with Louisiana Tech stickers so passing motorists would know they were Tech students traveling to and from campus. This suitcase belonged to Clayton Strebeck, class of 1958.
