Game day, and the rest of the week

If a kid has started asking for the James Madison Dukes jersey, this is the version that fits the actual request. It goes to games, to school on the Monday after, and to the park on a day that has nothing to do with sport. Kids wear it until it needs washing, then wear it again.

How it is made

Because the James Madison Dukes lettering is stitched rather than pressed, the jersey keeps its definition as it ages. The fabric softens with wear, but the graphics do not fade into the background. Two or three seasons in, it should look worn rather than ruined, which is the difference that matters.

Washing and everyday wear

Turn it inside out, wash it cold with the rest of the laundry, and hang it to dry — nothing special needed. Keep the iron away from the stitched numbers, and fold it like any other shirt between games. The James Madison Dukes jersey asks for no looking after beyond that.

Questions buyers ask

• Is this James Madison Dukes jersey stitched or screen printed?

  This James Madison Dukes jersey carries stitched graphics: the name and number are cut from twill and sewn on over the Purple mesh body. The stitching sits slightly proud of the fabric, which is what keeps the edges from lifting in the wash.

• Will washing fade the Purple on this James Madison Dukes jersey?

  Wash the James Madison Dukes jersey cold, inside out, and hang it to dry, and the Purple holds its depth through a season of weekly laundry. Skip the iron over the stitched numbers and the high-heat dryer, and no other special care is needed.

• How does the Purple James Madison Dukes jersey fit compared with a T-shirt?

  This James Madison Dukes jersey is cut a little closer than a casual T-shirt through the chest and shoulders, in the youth size range, while the Purple body leaves room to layer. Most buyers take their usual size; a looser game-day drape means one size up.

• Does this James Madison Dukes jersey come with a player name on the back?

  This James Madison Dukes jersey keeps the back plain, so no player name is stitched across it. The Purple team colors and the cut carry the look, which keeps it wearable as rosters change from one season to the next.
