Our first T-shirt was designed in the fall of '72 by a woman who lived down the hall from Ed in the basement of Miller Hall. I don't remember her name. She made a silk-screen design modeled after the Tufts seal. It said 'pax et frisbus' instead of 'pax et lux' (or whatever it really is) and it had a dove carrying a frisbee in it's mouth. My shirts all turned to rags years ago, but perhaps someone somewhere still has one. The first printing was done in black ink in the laundry room in the basement of Richardson House, by myself & Ed. (BTW, I lived in Richardson House freshman & sophmore years & 2nd semester junior year. Ed lived there sophmore year.). Neither one of us had ever silk-screenned before, but I think we did a fine job. We collected shirts from everyone on the team & printed on them. I contributed a few white t-shirts, one of the Boston Cycle shirts, and the inside of a few sweatshirts.

For the second printing (in the spring?) we bought a bunch (30? 50?) of 'seconds' white t-shirts..really sleazy quality, but very inexpensive. The second printing (also an Ed & Jim job) was in blue, & I think we did a third in blue somewhere along the line as well. In the winter of my sophomore year (73-74) a freshman on the team, Mark-something, made a new design, which we had printed professionally. The shirts were yellow, & the design was in black. It had a sun rising, possibly with a smily face on it (how could we!) and I think it said Tufts Ultimate. Possibly it also had a 'pax et frisbus', I don't remember.

In the spring of '74 Rutgers came to visit (again in their bus). We had heard a week earlier that they had uniforms (!!) with names & numbers on the back of the shirts. We (well, I) felt that this was horribly un-ultimate-ish, so we decided in a team meeting to put the SAME number on all of our shirts. I really wanted to go with number 6, but Ed won out with 3. I went to some sport-supply place out on route 128 and got a whole bunch of iron-on 3's, which we ironed on to the yellow shirts in (where else) the basement of Richardson House. More on the Rutgers game in a later anecdote.... I think Ed was the only one who wore cleats the first year. I was against them for philosophical reasons, & exerted strong peer pressure on my hapless teammates. I also never wore shorts, always preferring blue jeans with huge holes in the knees. God knows why.
