Yale Football Throwback Uniform
The Yale Bulldogs will have special throwback uniforms this week. Honoring 150 years of football history we see the retro uniform modeled after the ones worn by Walter Camp, an 1880 Yale graduate who is considered the father of American football.
The jerseys are a cream color, the exact same as Yale's varsity sweater. Inside the numbers on the jersey are the rules, which were featured in Walter Camp's famous 1893 book. The faux embroidery down the center, mimics the original uniforms. We see the helmet and the pants in the traditional Yale Blue. Details on the helmets feature a cream Y with Heisman Trophies on each side, in honor of Yale's two Heisman winners - Larry Kelley '37 and Clint Frank '38. Down the center of the helmet the two classic Yale stripes list the last name of every Yale football captain since 1872.
"It is a great honor for Team 149, myself and the rest of our coaching staff to be a part of this unique celebration of 150 years of Yale Football. These uniforms embody the rich tradition and history of our program, and we are excited to be a part of this moment in history."- Tony Reno
