Doak never wore a blue jersey (in a football game) while playing for SMU.

My Dad graduated in 1950, and attended SMU his last 2 years of college
after being a Navy WWII pilot.

I remember going to the 1963 SMU 14 Arkansas 7 game (my first
college game) where we wore RED jerseys and grey pants for uniforms
like the last SMU SWC champs at that time from the late 40s.

My next SMU game we traveled to from Longview was the 65 SMU vs.
the top 10 Arkansas game. Big 60000 crowd at the Cotton Bowl. We
scored a field goal for 3 - 0 on our first drive, and I was pumped. We
were wearing BLUE jerseys, and red helmets. We didn't do anything the
rest of the way, and lost 24 - 3.

I distinctly remember asking my Dad why we were wearing
BLUE jerseys. He said during the Doak Walker, and Kyle Rote years
they switched back and forth from red to blue.

How do you KNOW my Dad is a liar

I know one thing, they used to always honor the school colors and not wear navy blue!

Luckily, someone finally realized how putrid royal blue really looked... and replaced it with navy blue. Good move.
