Florida & Tennessee Uniforms circa early 1960's

[Old Coach]

Please see the picture below. The photo on the left from the Nashville Tennesean sports archive is from the 1961 Vanderbilt-Florida game. The photo on the right is from the 1963 Auburn-Tennessee game. The similarities bteween the Florida and Tennessee uniforms is obvious. The dark trim on the Florida uniform is probably dark blue whereas the trim on Tennessee's uniform is black. Tennessee wore this color scheme only one year-1963. I assume that UT's coach, Jim McDonald (1 year tenure), was inspired by by the 1961 Florida uniform. I have the 63 UT uniform set up for play with MaxFB. It can be easily converted to represent 61 Florida.

If anyone out there has access to a color photo of the 61 Florida uniform, please post it.

I don't have a color photo of what you're looking for, but you should check out helmet-history.com. It has a lot of information on throwback college teams and other links where you can get the information you want.

Hope this helps.
