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.

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.

It's more visible, sure, but there's nothing easier to put on than a band:

And you had actual games? For mandatory PE at school?

No, for PE, we generally didn't bother with any kind of jerseys. I was talking about after-school sports, which was the only time we'd ever done shirts vs skins.

How did I even miss you saying

it wasn't something we did in PE
