black jersey

Noir knit top

A black jersey is a dark-colored knit garment, typically a pullover shirt or sweater.

In cycling, the black jersey has specific ceremonial meanings in certain races—most notably designating the last-place rider in competitions like the Giro d'Italia, worn with a mix of humor and endurance: He proudly claimed the black jersey on the final stage.
