I was checking out the latest Grey Flannel auction ( in preview) and saw some great stuff. One item that stood out to me, was an early "Purdue" jersey. As a Purdue Alum, I have interest in this. I'm concern that this jersey isn't affiliated with Purdue University (aka Purdue Boilermakers) itself. Purdue University's school colors are old Gold and Black, not red and black as shown in the pictures. Jersey appears to be late 1900-1920's? Maybe?
I know they had some printing of the school colors a little more "orange-ish" vs yellow/gold sometimes. It is possible this jersey was more orange-ish and faded to red over time? However, I've been researching early years of Purdue Unversity's debris ( yearbook) and haven't match anything yet.
Any help would be appreciated if I'm missing something.
