Great article on the History of Miami uniforms

800px-Miami_at_Houston_during_the_1957_American_football_season.jpg



UM in the dark uniforms. Too bad it's B&W but probably our green jerseys with gold helmets. Out of the four Miami players, the only one over 200 was #78 who was a giant at 5'11", 213. Every other Miami player was under 200. The guy in the back wearing #50, with a helmet that looks too big for his head, became one of the greatest to ever play the game.

@caneinorlando was just a kid back in the 20s-30s...

But he's got some incredible daguerreotypes of himself with Bowman Foster Ashe, George Merrick, and Jack Harding...

Some grade A studs there. James Stewart had the talent to be an All pro for 10 years. Dude was a beast and there's a reason he was called "Superman". Froggy was a stud. Larry was unbelievable. 245 pounds of muscle after shedding ALL that weight the year before and Danyell was solid.,

Just curious; any particular reason y we rocked yellow once upon a time? Our colors have been orange, green, & white. When I peeped our uniform archive, I was shocked to see what we used to rock, color scheme wise.

You may need to ask one of the historians here or maybe one of the old timers who can remember that long ago but I do believe the university didn't make Orange, green and white the official colors until the 1970's. Once again, I may be remembering it wrong as it was before my time for sure.

Really into that chit man; that’s my nerd side....history. Some fans be like leave the past in the past, but I like when companies honor our sports history & bring out classic jerseys, even if they look “goofy” in today’s current jersey format. Do I wanna see them every game? Fck no; but I don’t mind a classic throw back from times past to mark a significant event.

Yeah; would love to know where we got these schemes from. Looking at other Universities’ jersey history, our color scheme has changed drastically over the years. Other schools may have changed patterns, hues, designs, etc., but the color scheme has remained pretty consistent. We’ve remained consistent w the O, G, & W since like 70’s, so I can see why fans be like don’t touch our chit. Lol.
