football jersey

Numbered athletic top

A football jersey is the shirt worn by players as part of their team uniform, typically displaying a number and often the player's name on the back.

In American football, jerseys are made of stretchy, tear-resistant mesh; in soccer (called football elsewhere), they're lighter-weight athletic shirts.

Fans wear replica jerseys to show team allegiance: He wore his Brady jersey to the Super Bowl party.
