Northeastern Huskies (1936)

The early days of Northeastern football featured some wild, flashy uniforms, including one with a Husky dog on the front of the jersey (must ... add ... to blog ... soon). This model from 1936, the program's fourth year, sports tons of stripes and tons of red at home, which contrasts with the conservative road jersey (but look at those strange numbers!).

The 1936 Huskies strike a pose (top) and in action (above).
These are both from the school's digital collections, which has a
modest but cool collection of football photos.

The schedule featured teams that today would spread across the board from the Power Five (Boston College) to FBS in good standing (UConn) to FCS (Rhode Island) to Division II (St. Anselm) to D-III (St. Lawrence; AIC) to the nonexistent (Arnold; Lowell Textile, a forerunner of UMass Lowell).

Some more doggie treats from Northeastern: 2008-09, 1994-96, 1989-90, 1982-86, 1976-77, 1973-75, 1963-68.

Old-timey sportswriters used all sorts of, er, creative monikers on the local ball club.
Maine was often the Pale Blue Gridsters or the Bricemen (in honor of 1920s-30s coach Fred Brice).
The '37 Cauldron takes it a step further and uses a different label for EVERY GAME played in '36.
McCoy is Alfred McCoy, the team's coach for its first four seasons.
