The first HBCU football game was played in North Carolina in 1892 between Biddle and Livingston Colleges. There were not a whole lot of football games being played in the 19th century but started to pick up around the early 1900s until WW1. I just don’t see a lot of images out there at all pre 1920s of African American teams. This is the earliest I have seen in formation. Notice the early head harnesses and melon shaped football. On the back is notated Goldsboro, NC.
