Tulsa, Oklahoma – The Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team is set to ignite fan excitement as they unveil throwback uniforms for their highly anticipated home opener this Saturday against the New Mexico Lobos. This special occasion also marks the inaugural game in the newly-renovated H.A. Chapman Stadium, adding extra significance to the event.
The retro Tulsa Football Uniforms, reminiscent of the glorious 1950s era, were officially presented today at Head Coach Todd Graham’s weekly press conference. These tulsa football uniforms are not just a change of attire; they are a tribute to the rich heritage of Tulsa football.
Diving into the design, the tulsa football uniforms feature striking red jerseys adorned with bold blue and gold stripes on the sleeves. Complementing the jerseys are gold pants and helmets. The helmets are particularly noteworthy, boasting a central blue stripe flanked by red stripes, capturing the vintage aesthetic. A significant addition to these tulsa football uniforms is the word “TULSA” emblazoned across the front of the jersey in white block lettering. Interestingly, this “TULSA” inscription was not part of the original 1950s jerseys, adding a unique modern-retro twist to these throwback kits.
Bubba Cunningham, Tulsa’s Director of Athletics, articulated the rationale behind this initiative: “With the renovations to the stadium, we wanted to deeply acknowledge the esteemed tradition of Tulsa football. On this momentous day, our aim is to honor the numerous exceptional teams and players who have graced this stadium. We firmly believe that donning these tulsa football uniforms is the perfect way to pay homage to this legacy.”
For those unfamiliar with the team’s palette, Tulsa’s official school colors are old gold, royal blue, and crimson. Blue and gold serve as the primary colors, with crimson acting as an accent, all of which are subtly incorporated into these tulsa football uniforms.
