Biggie Munn brought his Spartans out in the 1947 season opener at Michigan with the team wearing the white winged helmet.
Biggie Munn’s coaching debut resulted in a 55 – 0 loss to interstate arch rival University of Michigan. Being quite superstitious, Biggie Munn immediately retired the team’s new white winged helmet.
The jersey and pants worn for the 1947 game at Michigan was the 1947 – 1955 away style.
