I've seen the following formats used:

Home:

jerseys_team_name.png

Away:

jerseys_team_name_away.png

Alternates:

jerseys_team_name_alt.png

The correct format is:

Home: jerseys_cityname_nickname.png
Away: jerseys_cityname_nickname_away.png

The game does not automatically load alternate jerseys. So, you can name them however you want. I don't know what others do, but when I create alt uniforms I name them jerseys_cityname_nickname_alt.png or jerseys_cityname_nickname_away_alt.png simply for clarity's sake.

This sounds like a bug. If named properly, both home and away jerseys should load automatically.

Home:

jerseys_team_name_Home.png

Away:

jerseys_team_name_Away.png

Alternates:

jerseys_team_name_Alternate.png

So what are the correct ways to properly differentiate jersey files from one another?

It should not say "home" for the home jerseys. I would assume they wouldn't auto load in-game, but maybe he knows better than me.

Nope.

Only manually.

All underscores. There must be an underscore where there is a space. Also, a period (.) is not necessary for teams that use abbreviations, like St. Louis. It would simply be st_louis_cardinals.png.

Nope.
