DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I don't have an article to source this; I read in the UW Daily on the bus home today.They're in honor the 1960 National Championship team. I don't get the 37th anniversary thing they've got going on, but here they are:I'll be at the game, and I hope they look better there. I'm kind of disappointed, as I think that since they've added names on the back, the uniforms look a lot better. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sscrunner06 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 That's a pretty bizarre scenario...I guess national championship controversy is nothing new to college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Ha! They article in the UW paper mentioned NONE of that controversy -- I just took it at their word that UW was the 1960 national champion. I knew about the 1991 title; I just figured I hadn't paid much attention to the 60 team.I encourage others to read the above linked article. It's pretty funny. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Sorry. 47th. One key over.

I like it, simple and unique, plus as an Alumni I cannot stand the current uniform. The funny thing to me on all replicas is they still manage to get a nike logo on it, even through Nike was no where around at the time. "Try not to have a good time ...

The Danimal Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Washington's uniforms look great, they should seriously stick to those full-time. Maybe add the W to the helmet so it's not too Notre Dame-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhaha Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Why did they wear navy blue back then instead of purple?Also, I seem to remember in the early 70s (the Sonny Sixkiller era) when they alternated between gold and navy helmets, and the equipment manager would just spraypaint over the faceguards. It looked really terrible, as you can imagine. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilgump Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I dont know why they did it in the 60's but from my understanding the reason the Alumni Association's colors are blue and gold like these jerseys is because back in the day when these sports were first starting they weren't officially sanctioned school activities, so they couldn't use official colors, so they used navy and gold. Someone could have lied to me about this though I dont know for sure.Heres some more pics of the gameThis was the decal that was put on the back of the helmetsTheres the Decal position The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Just got back from the game. The home team looked great, but really, it was like watching Notre Dame with different numbers. There wasn't much of a presence in the stands for the throwbacks (in fact, I saw none where I was in the student section), but it was definitely a good looking game. Too bad the good guys lost. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
