The Chicago Charities College All-Star Game was a preseason football tilt played annually from 1934 to 1976 between the National Football League champions and a team of star college seniors from the previous year. The game originally was a benefit for Chicago-area charities. Except for the 1943 and 1944 games which were held at Northwestern University, the game was always played at Soldier Field in Chicago. Offered in this lot is Herman Rohrig’s College All-Star durene jersey worn in the 1940 game. On the inside front tail of the crotch piece is the Jarvis & White Athletic Goods manufacturer’s tag with two attached flag tags reading the size “42” and “DRY CLEAN ONLY”. On the inside front left tail is a blue strip tag reading the player name “Rohrig Herman” embroidered in white script style chain stitching. On the front and back is the player number “25” done in white tackle twill. There are 10 red stars embroidered on both of the shoulders. There is slight staining on the back numbers. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. This jersey comes with direct provenance from Herman Rohrig’s family.
