Arkansas to wear 1964 throwback uniforms vs. Alabama (Photos)
When Arkansas welcomes No. 7 Alabama to Razorback Stadium Saturday afternoon, the Razorbacks will wear throwback jerseys reminiscent of those worn during Arkansas’ 1964 National Championship season.
The throwback uniforms feature large numbers with no nameplate on the back, a double cardinal-colored stripe down the side of the pant, a throwback hog logo on the helmet and large numbers on the back of the helmet.
A number of players from the 1964 team, which went undefeated and beat Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl, will be on hand when the school honors them in a pregame ceremony prior to kickoff. The team will also be honored throughout the game including a halftime tribute performance from the Razorback Marching Band.
The 2014 Razorbacks are 3-2 and are coming off a bye week that followed a heartbreaking overtime loss to then sixth-ranked Texas A&M on September 27. Alabama is also coming off a tough road loss to Ole Miss last weekend.
Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema, in his second season with the program, is still seeking his first SEC win. The game will kick off at 6:00 p.m. ET.
