Partnered with Iowa State, this commemorative jacket pays tribute to Jack Trice. Trice, the first African - American varsity athlete at Iowa State, tragically died from injuries in his second college football game against Minnesota.
The defensive lineman understood his significance as the first Black athlete at Iowa State. In a letter written the night before the Minnesota game from his segregated hotel room, he said, 'The honor of my race, family, and self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will!'
The university designed a logo of five vertical lines, inspired by the jerseys Trice and the 1923 team wore. It symbolizes Trice's legacy and the ongoing fight for racial equality as Iowa State football marks 100 years since his passing.
This jacket is perfect for Iowa State fans who want to honor Jack Trice's legacy. Wear it to games, on campus, or during casual outings. There are no specific technical specs like size or weight mentioned in the original content.
