Old timey sports equipment

[Medulla Omoplata]

I think it's amazing what people were able to accomplish back in the day, and it's quite amusing what was considered appropriate attire/equipment back in the day:

For instance:

Women used to go mountain climbing in dresses:

Old soccer balls were made from leather:

This thing probably broke a lot of noses:

Hockey Goalies used to just wear this: Before that they didn't wear anything:

Look at these old tennis rackets: LOL how did they even swing these?:

Also is that man in front very tiny or something:?

Any other cool old sports things?:
