Team jersey
A team jersey is a shirt worn by members of a sports team to identify their affiliation with the team. Jerseys identify their wearers' names and/or numbers, generally showing the colors and logo of the team. Numbers are frequently used to identify players, since uniforms give players a similar appearance.
A jersey may also include the logo of the team's sponsor.
