There’s nothing quite like Spooky Season, aka October. Besides it being the birthday month of Yours Truly, October provides us with brisk days, colorful fall foliage, and of course, Halloween. The spirit of dressing up and costume contests got me thinking…what are best jerseys (and uniform sets) Tribe football has worn over the years?
It’s no tricks and all treats for my personal top five William & Mary football jerseys of all-time. Keep in mind this is purely based on my own (biased) opinion, and I’d love for you to share your favorite Tribe look over the years in the comments or on social media! Also important to note: this list is heavily based on my ability to actually find pictures of jerseys from specific eras. If there’s a particular look (or era) you think I missed, it’s more than likely I just wasn’t able to find pictures of said jersey or look.
With that out of the way, let’s dive into it!

Someone inside the Athletics Department had an epiphany about 20 years in the making: “Fast Track Sports” makes for a rather drab color on a football uniform, while “Fast Track Sports” is the true gold color to be used for Athletics.
Wait, what the hell do any of those words mean? Well, according to the official William & Mary brand guidelines, “Fast Track Sports” is part of the University’s primary palette, while “Spirit Gold is often used in an athletic context to represent the university with bright, bold color.” Their words, not mine!
