Here's one from the University of North Carolina's archives; they're mostly consistent, but note the one player at the center of the bottom row. The reverse indicates it's their 1896 team
Thanks for suggest that image. You must have read the email version of the story since another reader submitted the yearbook version of the same picture and I added as a postscript in the live version of the story.
Agree wholeheartedly on your old school branding take. So many teams wear whatever colors are cool that week and have a million different logos. There’s a lot to be said for coming out in the same thing week in and week out. Clemson has a pretty interesting case of color identity crisis, between purple/navy as their secondary color. A few different stories out there on what really happened but the back and forth is interesting.
