I believe the uniforms were from the College All-Stars vs NFL Champions preseason football game that was played annaully from 1934 to 1976 (no game in 1974). The game was called the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game and was played at Soldier Field or at Northwestern University.

The game was the idea of Arch Ward, the Chicago Tribune sports editor, who by the way was also involved in starting the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

In the series the College All-Stars actually won 9 games.
