On this day in 1893, Auburn and Alabama would meet on the gridiron for the first time, facing off at the Base Ball Park near downtown Birmingham. ⠀ ⠀ The victorious Tigers won 32-22 in front of 5,000 people. The winner was awarded a cup trophy that Auburn has displayed inside the museum at the Auburn Arena. ⠀ ⠀ Schedules were much different back then. Auburn considered this game the beginning of the 1893 season, but Alabama had it as the final game of the 1892 year.⠀ ⠀ #auburnfootball #auburnathletics #auburnuniform #auburnuniforms #auburnuni #auburnuniversity #auburnhistory #history #auburnuniformdatabase #cooluniform #coolestfootballuniforms #ironbowl #alabamafootball #alabamahistory
