Uniform Descriptions

These are descriptions of the uniforms of women's football teams based on my viewing of photos in newspapers and magazines. Unfortunately, since I use the computers at my local public library, which are not yet hooked up to any scanners, I am unable to post pictures and uniform graphics as of yet.

Therefore, if you have any photos (preferably color) from women's football games of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s that do a good job of showing jerseys, pants, socks, helmet logos, etc., please scan those pictures and e-mail them to me for inclusion. Also, if you remember anything about the uniforms of other women's teams that are not listed in this section, please let me know.
