The 1919 Washington football team was an American football team that represented the University of Washington during the 1919 college football season. In its second, non-consecutive season under coach Claude J. Hunt, the team compiled a 5–1 record, was co-champion of the Pacific Coast Conference, and outscored its opponents by a combined total of 202 to 31.[1] Ervin Dailey was the team captain.
The university's "Sun Dodgers" nickname was suggested in November 1919,[2][3] but not officially adopted by the students until January 28, 1920.[4]

^"New Name For Team". Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Seattle. November 5, 1919. For generations, students and football followers of the Pacific coast have attempted to brand athletic teams of the University of Washington with a nickname. Due to parental negligence the varsity has won and lost unnamed. Now an attempt is going to be made by university students to christen themselves the Sun Dodgers. It is thought that this name will stick. Sport writers in the past have called the varsity everything from Cougars to Vikings, not forgetting Indians and a few more on the way. Sun Dodgers is something unusual though, perhaps, it has not the sanction of the weather man. A monthly magazine, the Sun Dodger, is being published for the students at the university and it is thought this will aid in keeping the name permanent.
^"Big Vote Marks Student Elections". The Seattle Times. January 29, 1920. students at the University of Washington yesterday cast 3,233 votes in the semi-annual campus elections. [...] Of a list of names submitted to the voters, "Sun Dodgers" was chosen, and this will henceforth be the official designation of varsity athletic teams.
