What year did the Boys start wearing names on the back of their jerseys? '69?

Don't come around here asking for that sort of perverse gratification.

I believe it was 1969 BB.

I believe it was 1969 BB.

It was this auction that prompted me to ask:

Every NFL team did wear the NFL anniversary patch in 1969. But the Staubach jersey (which bears the patch) has no nameplate. I know for a fact that we wore nameplates in 1970. Maybe that was the very first year.
