A '''sports jersey''' is a [[shirt]] worn by a member of a team which identifies their affiliation with the team. A jersey identifies the athlete's name and/or number, generally showing the colors and [[logo]] of the team.The jersey's numbers are there so it can be easier to infinity the player from their teams members out in the field. Since everyone is wearing the same uniform and it's hard to tell them apart on/in the field.
