DYK? The Auburn Football program once wore green jerseys. During the 1938 and 1939 seasons, Jack Meagher outfitted his Tigers in green jerseys, in part to showcase his love and admiration for his alma mater, Notre Dame. During this era, Auburn wasn't a well respected program in the football world. The Tigers had to travel to many games, even as far away as California. For 1938, Auburn's green jerseys had orange stripes on the sleeves. The stripes were missing the following season. Auburn wore the green tops for twelve games or so throughout the two seasons. The team played to a 6-6 record in those games. The players weren't a huge fan of the green. Babe McGee, the man who scored the first touchdown in Jordan-Hare Stadium, told the Auburn Plainsman in 1986, "we didn't wear those too much. The team objected."
