1930s? Football Jersey

[Runscott]

I found this at an antique store today - those vertical embellishments appear to be silk, it has huge oval pads on the elbows (that I didn't capture in pics), numbers are more purple than the pics show. It's really in nice shape - although I collected pre-wwii baseball unis for quite a while, I know little about old football jerseys, but I was stunned when I saw this (advertised as a 'fencing' jersey !?!?!) and nabbed it quickly:

Hey Scott - It's been a while. I can't help much with the Jersey, but Chris Hornung may be able to. Chris collects vintage football equipment and is in the process of creating a website showing the evolution of football equipment up to the late 1920s. His email is: chornung@ymail.com

Thanks Joe. I check in from time to time, but I don't add much to the collection anymore. Keep thinking that will change soon.
