ABSTRACT:
A jersey for football players and the like. The jersey comprises a body section. The body section includes a shoulder portion having a substantially inverted U-shape as viewed from the side such that it is adapted to overlay the shoulders of a wearer or a shoulder pad on the shoulders of the wearer, a chest portion adapted to cover the chest of the wearer, and a back portion adapted to cover the back of the wearer. The shoulder, chest and back portions are of relatively inelastic material. The body section also includes elastic lateral gussets for laterally tensioning the chest and back portions over the chest and back, respectively, of a wearer so that the chest and back portions fit relatively tightly around the chest and back of the wearer thereby to inhibit opposing players from getting a hand hold on the jersey. The jersey also includes arm portions adapted to cover the arms of the wearer. The arm portions are of relatively inelastic material. Elastic arm gussets are provided for tensioning the arm portions circumferentially over the arms of the wearer so that the arm portions fit relatively tightly around the arms of the wearer thereby to inhibit hand holds by opposing players. Elastic shoulder gussets are provided adjacent the arm portions, the gussets allowing more stretch than the body section so that the arms may be repeatedly raised and lowered without pulling the body of the jersey upward thereby allowing a jersey which is tucked into the pants of a wearer to remain tucked into the pants.
