Did you know that Jersey, in the Channel Islands, was famous for knitting in the 19th century? As a matter of fact, the term “jersey” originated there as natives had a long tradition of knitting and creating the earliest sports clothing. Today, jerseys and spirit
wear are a symbol of team pride. Jerseys create team unity, provide a sense of belonging, create equality and display support.
Research shows that those donning a jersey are likely to be more successful than their peers. Spirit Day is a chance to celebrate team spirit and invite athletes, coaches and parents to wear their team jerseys/spirit wear with pride for their teams.
Hosting a Jersey/Spirit Wear Day is a surefire way to ignite team spirit about sports. Invite your organization, teams, coaches and parents to wear their favorite jersey. Join thousands rallying their support.
