The athlete depicted is clad in the 19th century attire which afforded minimal protection and running with a then larger football, accurately representing the conditions of the inaugural college game, between Rutgers and Princeton in November, 1869 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The photo was taken on October 21, 2017 in Piscataway, N.J.
