Re: where did the name 'maroon waves", come from

Ada
If I ever re-retired from Florida to the north I would consider Narrows, seems like a nice place there on the river and my roots are just south over the mountain along Wolf Creek.

Re: where did the name 'maroon waves", come from

My family left Welch in 1949 when I was 13 years old. I lived on Grandview
ave behind the old Ballpark called Blakley Field. All at home football
games were played in Blakley Field and the team at that time wore MAROON and
White Uniforms. I would suspect that the name came from there. As a
matter of interest, Welch at that time had a minor league base ball team
called the Welch Miners. They played their home games in the same Blakely
Field.

As a devout and long time University of Alabama Crimson Tide fan the name "Crimson Tide" was originated in 1907.
