Third Jersey
A third jersey, alternative jersey, third kit, third sweater or alternative uniform is a jersey or uniform that a sports team can wear instead of its home outfit or its away outfit during games, often when the colors of two competing teams' other uniforms are too similar to contrast easily. In truth, there is never a need for a third jersey in a two-team game. One team can wear its home or normal colours, and the other its away or substitute colours: by definition the latter cannot clash with the former. (Leaving only the remote possibility that each team's away jersey is so similar, by accident' that the home team may be confused to see the away team in colours that it occasionally plays in. But that is a risk in any case for the away team seeing the home team in colours not unlike those the away team normally wears.) Alternative jerseys are thus primarily a lucrative means for professional sports organizations to generate revenue, by sales to fans. Of North American sports l ...
