'Miracle on Ice' voted SI's most iconic cover of all time

After five rounds of voting, the winner by a landslide: "Miracle on Ice," the 1980 cover depicting one of the greatest moments in American sports history.

In honor of Sports Illustrated's 60th anniversary, we narrowed down 3,069 covers to a list of 32 and asked readers to vote on which was the most iconic.

After five rounds, the winner by a landslide: "Miracle on Ice," from March 3, 1980, depicting one of the greatest moments in American sports history.

It remains one of the rare SI covers without any headlines or type whatsoever. (As photographer Heinz Kluetmeier told Richard Deitsch in 2008, "It didn't need it. Everyone in America knew what happened.")

If you're in the mood to reminisce, we've posted the original story here.
