ECN's History of Purdue Pete Updated

Event Date: July 20, 2004

ECN's "Purdue Pete History" page has a new look. Purdue Pete History has long been a part of ECN's "Fun Stuff" or "Lite Side" section. The graphics were starting to show their age, having been created over five years ago. The site now boasts a new logo, and new graphcis representing each section.

Though most of the content is still the same, a few updates have been made. In the past, the site would be updated yearly with information on the current students portraying Purdue Pete. Recently though, the Purdue Athletics Department has requested that the site remain timeless, including only general information. Therefore, we have added a section to the website where viewers can submit their own pictures or stories about Purdue Pete.

Currently, the Purdue Pete webpage includes information about the history of the mascot, the design changes Pete has seen, and the men who have played the role of Purdue Pete. There are also images of Pete in each of his incarnations.
