Hail to old Purdue, specifically to this old Purdue Pete used from 1950 to 1970. This logo’s usage closely coincides with Jack Mollenkopf’s tenure as the head coach of Boilermakers football from 1956 to 1969. This version of Pete was also around as Purdue earned its reputation as the “Cradle of Quarterbacks,” with iconic names like Len Dawson, Bob Griese and Mike Phipps leading the charge in West Lafayette.
