Visual Trivia

Ran across this pic in a book I have and thought it would make an interesting trivia question. So who is this player and what's with the jersey?

Edit: Answered correctly...it's Bullet Bob Hayes of the Cowboys in a practice jersey indicating he's not to be hit in drills due to an injury.

It's new HOF-er Bob Hayes from the Dallas Cowboys. I believe the mark on his jersey is a red cross, meaning he was injured and not to be hit in practice. Great photo!

That is correct! The pic is from Bob Lilly's book of photos, Reflections.

Huh - I guess that's the precursor to the "red jersey" used today.

Interesting. Great photo. That does, however, lead to the question... what is on the sleeves?

Early on, the Cowboys had a triple stripe. Barely visible here, but interesting pic if only for the early version helmet star without the 2nd outline:

Very visible here:

^ Sorry, I meant the shoulders.

It doesn't look like Hayes' number 22, and it really doesn't look like a cross, either.

They are minus signs. You know positive and negative, so the jersey is really a battery.... Oh nevermind :)

haha.
