=== College football === The [[1995 Clemson Tigers football team|Clemson University]] football team wore throwback uniforms in a single game during the 1995 season (October 7 vs. Georgia), in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Clemson's football program. The uniforms resembled those of the 1939 Tigers, Clemson's first bowl team. In a continuation of the centennial celebration, the uniforms were also worn for one game the following season, a September 7, 1996, contest against Furman.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://herosports.com/college-football/acc-football-throwback-uniforms-miami-pittsburgh-ahah/|title=1996 Clemson Throwback|date=September 2018|work=uniformcritics.com}}</ref> The [[Texas Longhorns football|Texas Longhorns]] [[college football]] team wore throwback uniforms for a single game during their [[2005 Texas Longhorns football team|2005 national championship season]] as a way of honoring the past.
