The University of Oklahoma football team has unveiled a new alternate uniform for the 2024 season, taking inspiration from uniforms worn by players under former head coach Bud Wilkinson.
OU Athletics said the alternate uniform is representative of the one worn by OU teams between 1946 and 1956, and closely resembles the "Sooner Legacy" uniform the team's players donned on Aug. 30, 2003, in a 37-3 season-opening home win over North Texas.
The team will wear the new alternate uniform during its Sept. 7 home game against Houston, which will kick off at 6:45 p.m.
Additionally, as part of the 100-year celebration of Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, each 2024 home game will feature a different theme, with the Houston game spotlighting the Bud Wilkinson era.
Wilkinson coached the Sooners from 1947 to 1963, and compiled a 145-29-4 (.826) record, including 47 consecutive wins from the 1953 to 1957 seasons, still the longest streak in FBS history, and the program's first three AP national championships in 1950, 1955 and 1956.
