    The University of Alabama’s sports teams are collectively known as the Crimson Tide, and the school’s primary color is, appropriately, crimson. So where did this nickname come from?

    The first recorded use of “Crimson Tide” in reference to Alabama was in 1907, when Birmingham News editor Hugh Roberts used it in a headline. Roberts was likely inspired by the red mud of the Alabama River, which often stained the white jerseys of the football team.

    The name “Crimson Tide” caught on, and was officially adopted as the school’s nickname in 1920. The nickname is now so well-established that it’s often used to refer to the entire state of Alabama, not just the university.

    When it comes to college football, there are few teams as well-known and successful as the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. But where did their name come from?

    The most common story is that the name was first used by then-head coach Wallace Wade in 1907. After his team defeated heavily-favored Auburn, Wade remarked that the tide had “rolled” in Alabama’s favor. The nickname stuck and has been used ever since.

    There are other theories about the origins of the name, but regardless of how it came about, the Crimson Tide has become one of the most storied programs in all of college football. With over 20 national championships and countless All-Americans, they’re a team that any college football fan knows well.

    In 1907, the University of Alabama football team defeated Auburn University for the first time. After the game, a Birmingham newspaper described the scene as “a crimson tide,” and the nickname stuck. Today, the Crimson Tide is one of the most successful college football teams in the country.
