Hockey Jersey : What is it?
| Hockey jerseys –originally called hockey sweaters – have the same make as sweaters in that they have long sleeves, round or V-necks, and no buttons. It is usually made of a lighter and breathable fabric (like mesh) for ventilation and added comfort. A hockey jersey is part of a hockey team uniform with the team's logo printed in front, the player's last name at the upper back, and the designated number (one to 99) printed below it. The team captain's hockey jersey has a “C” printed or stitched above right of the team logo, while the alternate captain has an “A” on the same area. Fans also wear hockey jerseys to show support to their favorite teams.
