College Basketball Jerseys: Don't Just Show Your Support -- Wear It!
Among the most highly prized possessions that any college
basketball player can hope for is their college basketball
jersey. The college basketball jersey represents a feeling of
pride and belonging to the team.
But the feeling is not restricted to the team. Jerseys are also
prized by fellow students, who show up at college games dressed
in the same colors to cheer on their team.
Anyone who loves the game will have a favorite team and player.
Wearing their jersey creates a special bond. Some Like It Hot
Due to the heat of indoor playing conditions, basketball jerseys
are made of thin material, mostly of mock mesh, dazzle, tricot
mesh or pro mesh materials. Jerseys are always sleeveless
because long sleeved jerseys would cause the players to sweat
too much, creating not only uncomfortable conditions, but
unhealthy ones as well. The jerseys are also worn long and loose
with large armholes for ventilation. The NCAA is very strict
about the way basketball jerseys are worn on the court and
requires all players to tuck in their jerseys. Color, Numbers
And Styles
The tank top jerseys are worn with shorts, which are long and
baggy with stretchable waistbands and drawstrings. Each jersey
is embossed with the team logo, player number and team name.
Every college team likes to customize its basketball jersey, and
comes up with
a unique color plan.
There are a number of manufacturers who produce wonders with the
jersey designs and styles. Reversible jerseys use contrasting
fabric on both the inside and outside surfaces, so that they can
be worn either way.
The player's number is required to be on both the back and the
front of the jersey. The height of these numbers is required to
be 8 inches on the back and 6 inches on the front side. The
names of the players are printed in 2-inch high letters. Shortly
after 9/11, the NCAA began to allow players to wear the American
flag on the jerseys using a 4-inch side insert for this purpose.
Collector's Items
The demand for replica college jerseys always goes up when the
NCAA tournament season begins. There is also a big demand for
jerseys worn by the top basketball stars. These replica jerseys,
available at several online stores, make a great collector's
item for the avid basketball fan.
