Final Four pins (1975?)

[adk(roc)CUSE]

So in the Cuse section of my office I have a banner where I put pins of the Final Fours we have been a part of (or in 87s case a button). I'm only missing 1975. I've searched Ebay and other sites with no luck. I'm not even sure if FF pins/buttons were a thing in '75. I thought I'd give it a shot and ask in here. If anyone has any ideas or could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Go Orange!

Not sure but maybe there arent any? The NCAA didnt start using the term "Final Four" until 1978 according to this article:

That's a good point. "National semi finals" or something like that would do. But you might be right, something like that simply might not exist

That's AWESOME! It appears what you may be looking for as a search term is, "1975 NCAA finals pin."

This link is sold out, and the price is wild, but this may be what you're looking for.

If the press got them, depending on how badly you want it, it may be worth finding out who covered it and firing off some e-mails. I kept stuff like that from my various sports media jobs when I covered cool events. Some of it I wouldn't part with, some I would if someone who clearly cared a lot offered me a few bucks or swapped some other cool memorabilia.

Only if they match your Birkenstocks.

I think my kid stole my birks-they technically are his though.

Isn’t that a felony in Vermont?

I love Birks! Perfect house shoe for me. Get a new pair every year or so.
