re: what up with these jerseys? (charles alexander: 1970's)

Back then, RB's wore tear away jerseys. They would have a big stack of those paper thin jerseys for RB's on sidelines, as they would get shredded almost every series. No stripes. But other players had the striped jersey, you can see in the background.

I had a buddy that knew the trainers, and they would give him the scraps after the game. He would sew them together and sell them to his buddies. I had a Charles Alexander and Terry Robiskie once.
