red jersey

Scarlet athletic top

A red jersey is a jersey that is red—nothing more specific.

In various sports contexts, red jerseys may carry particular significance: in cycling's Vuelta a España, the red jersey marks the overall leader; in some football training camps, red jerseys protect quarterbacks from contact.

But without additional context, it's simply a shirt or athletic top that happens to be red.
