Welcome to CU History Week. From Monday until Friday, we will have a miniseries of five articles that celebrate the Colorado Buffaloes’ proud history.
To kick off the series, we’re looking at the most iconic uniform numbers, which will be power ranked from 10 to 1. These rankings are semi-qualitative, meaning the author went through historical rosters and Hall of Fame lists and wrote down names for each number, then each player was assigned 5 points for being a Hall of Famer, 3 points for being a great and 1 point for being a really good player. These qualifications are loose, as you can see that Phillip Lindsay is considered a HOFer while Bill Brundige (a real HOFer) is considered a good player.
