Looks like Chicago Rockets
wore white jersey with white pants at least once in 1946. But, it looks like
Hirsch's jersey may be sans the shoulder stripe. The 49ers have white helmets
and white pants which also fits in 1946.
After debating this, Tim replied with the following email:
John,
I have the November 30th game between the Rockets and 49ers at Kezar as follows:
Rockets: entirely in red (helmet, jersey, pants and socks)
49ers: entirely in white (helmet, jersey, pants and socks)
The September 29th game at Soldier Field I have:
49ers: white helmet, red jersey, white pants, red socks.
Rockets: red helmet, white jersey, red pants, red socks.
This leads me to believe that the [picture above] comes from the September 1st preseason game at Kezar
Stadium.
While researching this, we came also came across another photo from the Dec. 15 game against the Dons which showed that white jersey had red cuffs and sleeve stripe.
