    I’d hope millennial would be old enough to understand shirts vs skins.

    Age has nothing to do with how unlikely it is that a school gym class would have students take off their shirts to differentiate teams in a game.

      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.

      When I was in school it was shirts vs skins. Two separate schools in two separate states. I’m 39.

      At Christian academy we played horse though.

      I know the concept but we never did this in school, but I never took PE more than was required so it’s possible I just missed it or didn’t see. It could’ve been a thing in highschool.
