A team jersey (also sports jersey) is a shirt worn by members of a sports team to identify their affiliation with the team. Jerseys identify their wearers' names and/or numbers, generally showing the colors and logo of the team. Numbers are frequently used to identify players, since uniforms give players a similar appearance.
A jersey may also include the logo of the team's sponsor.

These jerseys are usually made from lightweight synthetic microfiber materials that wick moisture from the skin to aid evaporation, keeping the rider cool and dry. Key features include a zippered front, elastic waistband, and rear pockets.
In the Tour de France, jerseys are awarded to the leaders of specific classifications after each stage: Yellow jersey for general classification, Green jersey for points classification, Polka dot jersey for mountains classification, and White jersey for best young rider.
- Yellow Jersey (Maillot Jaune): Awarded to the rider with the lowest cumulative time (general classification leader)
- Green Jersey (Maillot Vert): Worn by the rider with the most points in sprints and finishes (points classification)
- Polka Dot Jersey (Maillot à Pois Rouges): Given to the best climber, based on mountain points
- White Jersey (Maillot Blanc): Awarded to the best young rider (under 26) in the general classification[1][2]
