Welcome to Grinnell Football!

Welcome to the new Grinnell College Football blog!

This is our last week of workouts before Spring Break. We are in a failure week, going to failure on the last set of all our lifts. We will post video of some of the better lifts later this week.
It is also mid-sems week, so our workouts will be shorter.

Come back periodically to check up with us and see all that Grinnell Football has to offer!

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
