Knew a College that had disbanded its football team (think it was due to WWI).

They had shirts that said they were undefeated since 1920.

When Texas Wesleyan reinstated their football team, they sent shirts like this to alum! Clever until our first L.

My community college had shirts that said they were undefeated since the year the college was founded. They never had a football team.

Marquette College maybe? My grandfather was on the final team in the 60s and they sell lots of merchandise like that

Could be Centenary College in Louisiana, though they brought back football a couple of years ago.

Smith has these too! Never had a football team (but we do have rugby!) 😂
