While the teams have only faced off six times, the series actually spans across a few of Auburn's major uniform design eras. The first matchup came in 1956 in Auburn. Despite being the underdogs, Auburn dominated the day, winning 12-0. The following season, Auburn made the return trip to Houston and once again came away with the victory, this time by a 48-7 score. The Tigers would, of course, go on to win the 1957 national championship. These two games came when Auburn wore helmets that only featured the traditional stripes. The navy jerseys worn in 1956 were plain without stripes, while the white tops in 1957 had the Northwestern stripes across the sleeves. After a few years, Auburn and Houston met once again in Houston during the 1963 season. Auburn would wear their home navy tops for the road trip as Houston wore white at home for the late September game. At this point, Auburn had added player numbers to the helmets and stripes to the navy jersey sleeves. The Tigers would pull out the 21-14 victory after leading 21-0 at the half. The game moved back to Auburn for the 1964 season, featuring a near identical uniform matchup to the year prior. Practically the only change was that Houston moved from numbers on the helmet to the thin UH logo. Auburn once again dominated the day, winning 30-0 and holding Houston to 64 yards of offense. Following the 1969 season, Auburn accepted a bid to the Astro Bluebonnet Bowl, played in the famed Astro Dome. The Tigers now featured the classic AU logo on the helmet. Houston celebrated the 100th season of college football with the anniversary logo on the sleeves - Auburn was the rare holdout for wearing the logo that season. Auburn would struggle this time around, losing 36-7. 1973 was the last time that Auburn and Houston faced off. Played as Auburn's homecoming, the Tigers would pull out a 7-0 win. Auburn leads the series over Houston with a 5-1 record. #auburnuniforms #auburnuniformdatabase #auburnfootball #wareagle #wde #wardamneagle #auburnhistory #houstonfootball #gocoogs #houstoncougars ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 198 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 4 ## Credits These are the roles credited on Gondola.
