Game day, and the rest of the week

Youth James Madison Dukes fans who play the sport themselves tend to want a jersey rather than a T-shirt. It reads as equipment even when it is only being worn to the driveway or the park. That matters more to a ten-year-old than most adults realize, and it is why this one gets chosen over everything else in the drawer.

How it is made

Put together to be worn rather than displayed, the James Madison Dukes jersey uses numerals and letters stitched down, a breathable mesh body, and a flat finish at the neck and armholes so nothing scratches. It holds up to a full season of being the shirt that gets picked first.

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

• Are the name and number on this James Madison Dukes jersey stitched or printed?

  The James Madison Dukes name and No. 9 are stitched twill sewn onto the fabric, not screen printed. The edges sit slightly raised, so you can feel the texture from the front, and the graphics hold their shape through repeated machine washing.

• 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.

• Does this James Madison Dukes jersey fit true to size?

  The James Madison Dukes youth cut runs true to size with room for a T-shirt underneath. Buyers who want a looser game-day fit, or who plan to layer it in cold weather, usually go one size up. The shoulders sit close and the hem falls at hip level.

• 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.
