Harvard's football program is one of the oldest in the world, having begun competing in the sport in 1873. The Crimson has a legacy that includes 8 national championships and 20 College Football Hall of Fame inductees and is the eighth winningest team in NCAA Division I football history. This sweater was given to all football letterman upon graduation, not the entire student body. Heavy, crimson wool long sleeve turtle neck sweater with “1902” on front in large felt numbers. The felt has turned to a shade of pink, presumably being white originally with the red from the sweater bleeding during washing. There are several holes throughout the sweater, some of which have been repaired with a different colored thread. Overall magnificent, original condition.
