University of Cincinnati band (1956)

Saddle oxfords, check. Gray skirt, check. Badass Bearcats sweater, check. Grandma had it going on!

Oh, alright, I can't resist posting these other righteous U of C logos:







1961 was the year AFTER the Big O, Oscar Robertson left the Bearcats! Digging the crown on this logo!

Rose Bowl ticket seekers (1951)

Click photo to embiggen.

Rose Bowl ticket seekers, in December 1951. The fellows in this photo rock a badass mix of casual and formal (note wingtips with rolled up jeans, righteous pea coats and leather jackets, etc.) The first national television audience for a college football game saw Illinois clobber Stanford 40-7 in the Grandaddy of Them All (TM) (C) (R) etc

college uniforms from Murad Cigarettes cards

















































Murad Cigarette cards, 1888-1927 and undated, from Duke University's Emergence of Advertising in America, 1850-1920 digital collection.
These are all badass, but the hockey unis are by far the coolest thing I have seen all day. The toques are incredible!
