A new display case was recently opened at the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame and Museum featuring some of its ever-increasing collection of crests. It is titled, “CRESTS … OVER THE YEARS – EACH HAS MANY STORIES”. The display has over 40 different crests from as far back as the 1930s. Some of the crests have come off old team jackets while others were part of awards given to individuals and/or teams.
A few highlights to look for are the following :
• an immaculate 1949 St. John’s Tech Tigers crest with amazing detail
• a Newton Norwesters crest from the old Isaac Newton High School which was the second North End high school before the opening of Sisler in 1957
• a crest awarded to the 1965 winners of the Fort Garry Invitational Tournament (FGIT)
• crests from the UCAL (United Church Athletic League) in the 1950s
• a Sagkeeng Basketball crest
• an original St. Andrews Super Saints senior men’s crest
• a large Winnipeg Cyclone team crest
It should be noted that all the crests, with a picture and full details, along with many of the other items in our museum collection, are available on our on-line database, Musetoba, which can be found at www.musetoba.ca.
