Football was introduced to the University of Alabama in 1892 Captain Deadpool Spiderman Alabama Crimson Tide shirt. With early newspaper accounts referring to the team as the “Crimson White” with the first popular nickname being the “Thin Red Line”. In 1906, Hugh Roberts is credited with using the phrase “Crimson Tide” in an article about the 1907 Auburn versus Alabama game. Auburn was heavily favored to win the game which was played on a muddy field that stained the Alabama white jerseys crimson. Alabama held Auburn to a 6-6 thus then nickname “Crimson Tide”. The 1930 team was dubbed the “Red Elephants” by sportswriter Everett Strupper of the Atlanta Journal.
What does Alabama ‘Crimson Tide’ have to do?
The color referred to the crimson jerseys. The “elephants” the size and physical prowess of the first team, or varsity. That team went 10-0, shutting out 8 opponents and only allowing 13 points all season. Those “Red Elephants” defeated Washington State in the Rose Bowl 24-0 and were national champions. The story I heard was this one. Rosenberg’s Trunk Company was a luggage store in Birmingham, AL. When the Tide invited to the Rose Bowl in 1929. Rosenberg’s donated luggage to the team for the trip. The company’s logo is an elephant sitting on its haunches, trumpeting, and it colored crimson. Apparently, the logo hanging from each bag as an ID tag noticed in LA and assumed to be the team logo. Or so say us all.

I don’t know if Rosenberg’s is still there Captain Deadpool Spiderman Alabama Crimson Tide shirt. But it was an awesome store, with the big elephant on the front. Luggage, trunk, elephant. In the 1920s, when Alabama went to its first Rose Bowl, the nickname for the team was the Thin Red Line. A Birmingham luggage company named Bambarger Trunk Co. used a red elephant for its symbol and passed out little red elephants to Alabama fans departing for Pasadena from Birmingham. Alabama fans waved the red elephants around at the game and the elephant became an unofficial mascot. It remained unofficial until the student body voted for Big Al the elephant to be the mascot in 1979.
