Utah’s football teams of 1966 and ’67 lost more games than they won, but they looked good. The Utes will celebrate college football’s 150-year anniversary season by wearing “heritage” uniforms from that era Saturday vs. UCLA.
Under Armour, the school’s apparel provider, is reproducing Utah’s look of silver helmets, red jerseys and silver pants from those years — somewhat resembling Ohio State’s traditional design, with big numbers.
Ute coach Kyle Whittingham is in his 26th season as a staff member and has been connected to college football for nearly 50 years as a coach’s son, player and coach.
