no stripes on the shoulders. Fullback on the ground has no stripes

QB in the background has stripes on shoulders


anyone know what that was about?

Might have to do with it being a tear-away. Not sure.

They're gonna do it again next year where just the qb has stripes so the defense is positive about who not to worry about.

I'll see myself out

not quite. I've never photoshopped in my life, so if it is, it wasn't me.

however, this isn't the only picture sans stripes

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.

More importantly they appear to be playing John Curtis. Talk about a week non conference schedule.

Not photoshopped. Equipment manager SNAFU caused empyting stock of tearaway jerseys for skilled position players. Embarrasingly had to use practice jerseys in games. This is a true story. Mac was miffed.

Oregon-- beatdown. Both Oregon and Oregon State were rent-a-wins in those days, before they discovered Watts in L.A.

This is correct. Also notice the helmet stickers.

ETA: the opponent in that photo is Oregon before they were bought out by Phil Knight and started wearing the gaudy uniforms.
