Paul Lukas’ Uni-Watch, which deals in the history and minute details of sports uniforms, recently did a feature on Iowa girls’ basketball. His starting point was a recent New York Times story about Denise (Long) Rife. Most of the post looks into her Union-Whitten uniforms in 1968 and 1969, but then starts looking at what the other girls were wearing, which was very varied.
This may have been Lukas’ first encounter with six-on-six, as he dubbed the video of the 1968 championship game “interesting!”. We Iowans are always glad when someone discovers “our” game.
