In 1949, Wilbur Johns, the legendary Athletic Director at University of California, Los Angeles met Henry "Red" Sanders, the head football coach at Vanderbilt.  By the time that they had parted company, UCLA had a new football coach. 

    When Red Sanders came to UCLA he redesigned the uniforms. Sanders added a gold loop on the shoulders -- the UCLA Stripe. The Navy Blue was changed to a lighter shade of Blue.   Sanders figured that the lighter Blue would look better on the field and in film.  He would dub the uniform -- Powder Keg Blue -- powder blue with an explosive kick.   Over a quarter of a century later, Sports Illustrated would proclaim the UCLA home Football Uniforms the best looking uniforms in college football.

    These web pages are devoted to the images of UCLA football (and perhaps a picture or two of the other UCLA sports).  There is no affiliation between this site and the University of California, Los Angeles, its Athletic Department or any of its coaches or players.

    There are a number of other sources on the Internet to get information about UCLA sports.  The official websites related to UCLA athletics are: UCLA athletics is UCLA Bruins, the UCLA Spirit Squad is UCLA Spirit, the UCLA Marching Band UCLA Band and the Alumni Band is UCLA Alumni Band. A good source for links to traditional sports reporting on UCLA Bruins is Bruin Gold. A web based source on UCLA sports is BRO and Bruin Blitz.  Three of the most popular message boards for UCLA sports are  Bruin Blitz, Bruin Gold,  BRO and  Bruinzone.
