Columbia Lions (1974-76)


After years of instability, Columbia's uniforms found one design and stuck with it for a few years in the mid-1970s.  The jerseys, which used to have more stripes than they knew what to do with, were gone, and a cleaner look took over. There were no alternate jerseys. White shoes took over, making the Lions one of the first teams in this project to go the Joe Willie route with footwear.

Both pix are from the Columbia Spectator archives, of course.

The uniforms didn't change much for the rest of the decade, except for one year (1977) when the Detroit Lions-style logo was missing from the helmets.

It won't be too long before the cheerleaders parade the sidelines again.
