L.P. Smock, a player at Princeton University, designed the first official football uniform in 1877. The uniform consisted of a canvas jacket, black knee pants, stockings and a jersey. The modern football jersey, with numbers on the front and back to indicate each player, did not come into practice until the first half of the 20th century.
