Team oars and block letters set this College Crews poster apart from others that show rowers in action, since the design relies on the equipment and the school initials instead. American intercollegiate rowing took off after the 1852 race between Harvard and Yale on the Thames River in Connecticut, and by the late 1800s crews drew large crowds and steady newspaper coverage. Posters like this one promoted regattas and built loyalty to a school, which explains the emphasis on colors and lettering. It is worth noticing how the oars work as both sporting gear and banners.
