Another celebrity in an early 80s Auburn T-shirt. Or at least that looks like an early 80s Auburn T-Shirt. I suppose it’s possible that it’s a (very well done) faux vintage reproduction; it looks as if the seal reads “Alabama Polytechnic Institute,” which once you move past the actual API years is much more typical of post-millennial embrace-our-roots wear. But whatever, it’s an Auburn shirt nonetheless.
The bigger question: Did Andy Warhol take this photo? Sure, he died in 1987. And this easily looks like it could have been yesterday. But art provenance is tricky business. You never know. The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Art should probably go ahead and buy it, too, just in case.
Other celebrities in Auburn stuff: John Oates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dr. Dre, John Travolta, Thierry Henry, Willie Nelson, Zac Efron, Naya Rivera, Molly Sims, Jason Segel, Joe DiMaggio.

Not sure when this pic was taken. But I’m almost positive that Schneider came to Auburn during the early 90s. Performed at a show. Ellen Degeneres also came during that time period.
Ugh, pretty embarrassing (for Auburn).
I wouldn’t have published this photo, but that’s just me.
New movie idea!
