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.
