Soccer Jerseys, Clothes Or Collectibles?

June 06, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - jersey cloth

Soccer jerseys may well surpass all other team sport uniform items in wear ability and collect ability. A serious fan may have no greater earthly possession than their favorite team’s jersey, and if they were able to get an autographed one, all the better. An article of clothing, made for durability and comfort on the soccer field can quickly become an artistic focal point in the fan’s home. Many fans display their beloved jerseys in cases especially designed for the purpose.

There are currently over 5000 soccer jerseys available for bidding on at EBay, which is known as the world’s auction house. A current jersey from the Brazilian National team, signed by all the players, is listed at 300.00, plus shipping. It seems doubtful that once purchased this jersey will be wore by its proud owner, rather it will probably be more of decorative item, and perhaps kept as an investment.

Looking further, I discovered an incredible piece of football history. A jersey worn during the Brazil-Austria match on July 11, 1971. A Brazilian home jersey from a match just months after Brazil had won the World Cup. But wait, there’s more! Pele, instrumental in Brazil winning the World Cup, was the wearer of this shirt! He scored the only goal in the match that day against Austria, and signed the shirt, which has never been laundered. It was to be Pele’s last game with Brazil, also. The next lucky owner of this remarkably collectible jersey will also have a letter of authenticity signed by Pele. The going price is $27,445.00!

The historic Pele jersey may be out of many a fan’s financial reach, however authentic replica shirts are available for modest costs, and it won’t be sacrilege to wear them. Today’s stars also represent a way to get into collecting signed jerseys, at prices within the reach of many more fans than the vintage jerseys are bringing. David Beckman and Mia Hamm are examples of current and recent stars who’s signed jerseys are worth considering investing in before they increase too much more in value.

Whether you are a player, or fanatical armchair coach, wearing and collecting jerseys is a great way to connect with your favorite players and team, and if they happen to go up in value, all the better. Owning a piece of sports history has its own value, that a non-fan may never be able to appreciate.

From a parent’s stand point, their child’s soccer jerseys are a wonderful way to mark the years, and chart the growth of their own little Pele. Hanging each seasons jersey around your child’s room will be an inspiration to them, as it shows how you value their efforts. Your young player may not have been the star striker, or the glorified ‘do or die’ goalie, but they did their best, and enjoyed the battle field. Some day when you’re your soccer player has gone off to college, these jerseys may prove as valuable to you as a signed jersey from a star player.

Jersey (clothing)

A jersey is an item of knitted clothing, traditionally in wool or cotton, with sleeves, worn as a pullover; this is to say, it does not open at the front, unlike a cardigan. It is usually close-fitting and machine knitted in contrast to a guernsey that is more often hand knit with a thicker yarn. The word is usually used interchangeably with sweater and is the name always officially used in the United Kingdom to refer to the item when worn as part of the uniform of military, police or other uniformed personnel.

Round CollarThe English Channel Island Jersey was famous for its knitting trade in medieval times, and because of that original fame, the name jersey is still applied to many forms of knitted fabric, round or flat.

The traditional jersey, and traditional guernsey, are dyed a navy blue colour, using a dye that does not require stripping the wool of its natural oil, rendering these sweaters surprisingly water resistant. The wool used in guernseys is often passed through oil in order to render it doubly water-resistant.

Alternatively, a jersey as used in sport is the name of a shirt worn by a member of a team, usually oversized, typically depicting the athlete’s name and team number as well as the team’s logotype or corporate sponsor. Cycling jerseys of specific colour or pattern represent certain statuses in cycling – such as the maillot jaune (yellow jersey) of the leader of the Tour de France, or the rainbow jersey. Cycling jerseys are usually made of synthetic microfiber material to aid in wicking sweat away from the skin to allow it to evaporate. The main garment of an ice hockey uniform, which was traditionally called a sweater, is increasingly know as a hockey jersey, and has become a fashion accessory. Basketball jerseys are usually sleeveless. Another kind of jersey is the pennie (soccer).

It is common for Australian Year 12 students and Year 13 students in New Zealand to receive personalised jerseys during their last year at school – these are commonly referred to as a Year or Leavers’ Jerseys. They are based on the design of a sport jersey (usually Rugby Union, feature school colours, the year the students graduate, and a personalised nickname. They are usually worn over the normal school uniform.

Jersey is also a soft, slightly elastic knit cloth made from wool, cotton or silk.

In some sports, such as basketball and American football, a player’s jersey may be “retired”. When a jersey is retired that player’s jersey is placed usually where the team plays in honor of that player’s accomplishment. The retiring of a jersey at one time included the retiring of the number on the player’s jersey leaving it unavailable for future players, to further honor that player. However as jerseys are usually double digit (00-99) that leaves only 100 possible numbers. As such the practice of retiring the number has dwindled, and in most cases only the specific jersey is retired and put on display.

The name derives from Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, where the material was first produced.
