University of Michigan Rose Bowl Sweatshirt, 1990

Summary

The Rose Bowl, first played in 1902, established the postseason college football bowl game tradition. In keeping with its original billing as a match between teams representing the Eastern and Western United States, the 1990 Rose Bowl pitted the Michigan Wolverines against the USC Trojans in a rematch of the 1989 game. The Trojans won 17-10, disappointing Wolverines fans hoping for a repeat victory.
