1934-35 Chicago College All-Star Games

Thanks to an auction, we can see the exact coloring for the uniform used by the College All-Stars in 1934. The same uniforms were used again the following year.

August 31, 1934

1935-36 Brooklyn Dodgers

Altered the green pants to a more 'canvas' shade of green as they clearly do not match the green of Brooklyn's jerseys and socks.

1934-37 New York Giants

White helmets had red front bumper, not blue.
1936 pants were red with white and blue buttstripes.
1934-35 khaki pants had red buttstripes.
1935-36 white jerseys had no outline on numbers.
1936 numbers and side panels on the white jerseys were darker blue than in 1935.
All 1934-36 jerseys had box-top 1s front and back.
1935-36 white socks had stripes closer together.
1934-35 red socks had no lower white stripe and blue stripe was twice as wide as white stripe above it.
There were 2 versions of the 1934 red jersey - one with white sleeve cuffs (worn exclusively in 1935) and one with red cuffs. The red cuff versions intermixed with the white cuff version beginning 10/7/34.

Program cover shows EXACT College All-Stars Uniform worn in Chicago College All-Star Game six days previous.

Notice how the pants, shoulder stripe and front helmet bumper all match as compared to the middle buttstripe, jersey numbers, and collar which are blue.

1934-37 Detroit Lions

1934 was already sans serifs front and back but both were too short necessitating an increase in height for both.

The front numbers are taller sans serif ones compared to what we have.

The back numbers are taller and thinner and higher on the shoulders than what we have.

The lower serifs started in 1938.
