Rams & Spiders in short shorts

People love a good Then and Now. What a wonderful idea, we thought. We’d get old photos of VCU and Richmond basketball players, coaches, and facilities! We’d pair them up with a corresponding modern day photos! It’d be grand! Well, that didn’t work out.

People love a good Then and Now, which is where we started with this feature. What a wonderful idea, we thought. We’d get old photos of VCU and Richmond basketball players, coaches, and facilities! Then we’d pair them up with a corresponding modern day photos! It’d be grand!

Well, that didn’t work out.

But! Somehow, we found ourselves buried in photos of dudes shooting hoops in the iconic short shorts of the 70’s and 80’s. Rather than deny you this, we present to you five old-timeyish pictures of your Rams & Spiders getting it done.
