This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
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.
