pinnie

Mesh team jersey

A pinnie is a sleeveless mesh vest worn over regular clothing to distinguish teams during practice or informal sports—typically bright-colored so players can quickly identify teammates: Grab a pinnie from the bin.

The word is informal, derived from pinafore, and common in gym classes and youth sports.

Also called a scrimmage vest or penny.
