Throwback Thursday: 1961 Maryland Terrapins NCAA.com

CHAMPS

PRESENTED BY Welcome back, sports fans, to Throwback Thursday, a time to look upon our past with equal parts nostalgia, pride and a healthy dose of shame. For as casual style goes through awkward changes and redesigns so do football uniforms and logos. This week we take a look at the 1961 Maryland Terrapins. Here's what Maryland wore in 1961, for anyone who wants a preview of the throwbacks. — Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) Earlier this week, Maryland unveiled some for their tilt with Penn State this weekend. Its been rough going for the Terps so far this season, having only two victories to their name, but bowl eligibility can still be a possibility. Although they've still got to face Big Ten West leader No. 19 Iowa, perennial power Wisconsin and 7th-ranked Michigan State, and they'd need to win at least one of those as well as sweeping the rest of their schedule, which is no easy task. But, the 1961 edition of the Terrapins were a more hopeful, and successful, bunch. That year, Maryland became the first college football team to put names on the back of jerseys and head coach Tom Nugent led Maryland to a 7-3 record and an incredible 22-21 upset of No. 7 Syracuse. Introducing the throwbacks we'll wear against Penn State this weekend: — Maryland Football (@MarylandPride) Oh, and Maryland defeated Penn State that season, 21-17. We'll just have to see if those threads can create a repeat.
