The Oklahoma football program will celebrate the 100th season of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium this fall by wearing 1946-56 throwback uniforms against Houston on Sept. 7 (6:45 p.m. CT on SEC Network).
The Sooners were one of the most dominant programs in the country while wearing these uniforms, winning 11 conference titles and three national championships (1950, 1955-56) under legendary head coach Bud Wilkinson.
That includes a 47-game winning streak from 1953-57, the longest streak in Football Bowl Subdivision history, as well as a 31-game winning streak from 1948-50, which is tied with Pitt (1914-18) for the sixth-longest streak among current FBS schools.
The uniforms feature a crimson jersey with white numbers and white Northwestern stripes on the sleeves, white pants with two crimson stripes on the sides and a white helmet with a single crimson stripe down the middle and a gray facemask.
They closely resemble the “Sooner Legacy” uniforms that Oklahoma wore in a win over North Texas in 2003, which marked the first game in an expanded Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Those notably included a “Sooner Legacy Series” patch instead of an SEC mark on the right shoulder, a Nike Swoosh instead of a Jordan Brand Jumpman logo on the left shoulder and a slightly different number font. They also appeared darker in the rain.
Oklahoma also wore Wilkinson-era uniforms in 2009 as part of Nike’s Pro Combat series, though that version featured a gradient-like pattern on the sleeves of the white jerseys and thin, truncated stripes on the pants.
In addition to the uniforms, Oklahoma unveiled a commemorative logo on Friday morning that celebrates Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium’s 100th season.
It prominently displays the No. 100 above the stadium’s south entrance, which was finished in 2017 as part of a $160 million renovation project, and will presumably be worn as a helmet decal this fall.
