Game day, and the rest of the week

Giving a youth Indiana Hoosiers jersey needs no explanation, which is most of why it works as a gift. Anyone who follows the school will wear it; anyone who does not will still wear it for the colors. It solves the problem of buying for someone who already has everything.

How it is made

A dark Indiana Hoosiers jersey is the practical choice if it is going to be worn weekly. Marks recede into the ground rather than sitting on top of it, and the contrast holds up in low light. It reads sharp rather than styled, which is usually what people want from a jersey.

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 Indiana Hoosiers jersey asks for no looking after beyond that.

Questions buyers ask

• Are the name and number on this Indiana Hoosiers jersey stitched or printed?

  The Indiana Hoosiers name and No. 15 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.

• Can this Indiana Hoosiers Football jersey go in the dryer?

  It can, but it does not need to: after a cold wash inside out, this Indiana Hoosiers jersey air-dries quickly on a hanger. Low heat is fine in a pinch. Keep the iron away from the stitched numerals and the graphics stay sharp.

• Does this Indiana Hoosiers jersey fit true to size?

  The Indiana Hoosiers 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.

• Whose name is on the back of this Indiana Hoosiers jersey?

  Nobody's — this Indiana Hoosiers jersey leaves the back plain in the Crimson colorway, with the team look carried by the front instead. That makes it a safe pick for fans who do not want a name that leaves when rosters turn over.
