I was in high school in the early 2000s and even we did it. Apparently the school I was at was a sports academy as well, so presumably that meant they had some money to work with.
As a millennial, it wasn’t something we did in PE, but we did it occasionally on team sports for scrimmages (esp. basketball). We had jerseys, but the coach didn’t want to keep doing laundry.
I know the concept but we never did this in school, but I never took PE more than was required so it’s possible I just missed it or didn’t see. It could’ve been a thing in highschool.
You are not old enough to understand, me thinks.
I’d hope millennial would be old enough to understand shirts vs skins.
Age has nothing to do with how unlikely it is that a school gym class would have students take off their shirts to differentiate teams in a game.
Age does. It was very, very common ~35 years ago, especially in urban or country schools where money wasn’t spent on “such frivolous things”.

I can confirm it occurred in my experience about 20 years ago. We had a set of color vests, but those were for the girls.
Yup, and jerseys need to be washed, and nobody has time for that.

Why a whole jersey and not just a coloured band?
it’s a lot easier to put on and take off a jersey than a band, and a lot more visible. At least that’s my guess.
Also, we used the jerseys for actual games, so no need for extra equipment.
When I was in school it was shirts vs skins. Two separate schools in two separate states. I’m 39.
At Christian academy we played horse though.
