UW - Football ’61 Rose Bowl White PO Hoody

“Washington’s football program had risen from the ashes to fields of roses and a national championship…” –W. Thomas Porter Jan. 2, 1961, Pasadena, California. That’s the date and location of the Rose Bowl to put a bow on the 1960 season. The Minnesota Golden Gophers were 7-point favorites to beat the University of Washington Huskies. It was a foregone conclusion they’d win, until it wasn’t — the Huskies stormed Pasadena and won 17-7, bringing home the first of two National Championships, and setting the foundation one of the country’s proudest programs. Set the date in history. U-Dub football is the real deal! Officially licensed by University of Washington.
