I thought in the US "Jersey" refers to t-shirts worn during American football or something like that? At least I have seen people saying "these are my Jerseys" and then pointing to their t-shirts worn during having played American football.


it is also that.

it’s is both slang for sports uniform (usually shirt) and also is a type of fabric material super common in clothing [0]
