Michigan - Classic Cover

For 1971, NU moved away from the minimalist style it used for its '70 programs and began the "Wild Cats!" style that would last two yeas.  '71's covers were more psychedelic, and this cover (for the season opener vs. Michigan)  is a great example: bold, loud, and wild, it stands as one of the twenty CLASSIC NU PROGRAM COVERS.
