As the world says goodbye to Sports Illustrated, we thought now would be a great time to remember some of the better times for the mag. The swimsuit issue was usually something you could count on the be absolutely fantastic. Models like Kate Upton on beach wearing the latest and greatest swimsuits were everything. In the modeling world, that’s how you knew something special was happening. When you were on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Good times. We could start an argument about who was the best cover, or who was featured the most in SI. Or… we could enjoy one the best ever in the swimsuit game. Kate Upton on the beach. Always great.
