On February 20, 1892, George Petrie led his makeshift team consisting of students and faculty to Atlanta, Georgia for the first football game in Auburn history.⠀ ⠀ The Atlanta Journal-Constitution sponsored the event and contacted Petrie about what color streamers and decorations should be used in town and around the stadium. The University of Virginia graduated responded with the colors we know today - burnt orange and navy. Virginia had adopted those colors just four years prior.⠀ ⠀ 2,000 spectators showed up at Piedmont Park to watch the muddy affair. The newly-crafted Auburn squad defeated Georgia 10-0 in what one newspaper deemed, "the social event of the year."⠀ ⠀ Pictured is a photo from the 1895 edition of the game, where Auburn also won the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.⠀ ⠀ #auburntigers #auburnfootball #footballuni #footballuniform #auburnuniform #auburnuni #auburnuniforms #auburnuniformdatabase #cooluniform #coolestfootballuniforms #sec #secfootball #georgia #georgiabulldogs #...
