Old Uniforms

[Jim D.]

I think the striped hats were used in the SEC. The shirts with the V on the front and back were used in the SWC. I remember my father, who worked in the MVC, had to get one of the V shirts for a split crew game down in Texas. All shirts were the regular, non-knit type.

I don't think the baseball style hats came in to use until the 50's. Before then, it was the white Ben Hogan type hats. Flags didn't start until the late 40's/early 50's. Before then it was a penalty horn.

I thought pinstripes on the caps were still common. Were these wider stripes?

They were equal thickness of black and white, like your shirt would be except thinner stripes.

Very strange looking and rather garish.

Hi Jim,

My Father played @ Baylor University from 1948 - 1950. I have a photo of him with the Official behind him. The official was not wearing a hat, but he did have that V - neck sweater on.
