Caring for Your Jersey to Keep It Game-Day Ready
A jersey isn’t cheap, and proper care extends its life. Here’s what works from my decade in POD:
- Wash inside out in cold water. This protects prints and stitching.
- Skip the dryer. Hang dry indoors. Heat is the #1 killer of jersey graphics.
- Treat stains immediately with a dab of gentle detergent. Rubbing alcohol works on grease stains.
- Store folded - don’t hang on thin wire hangers (they stretch the shoulders).
Following these steps, your Caitlin Clark jersey 2026 will look fresh season after season.
FAQ
#### What fabric are Caitlin Clark jerseys made from?
Most are 100% polyester jersey knit. Premium versions use a double-knit fabric that resists snags. Cotton blends are rare because they don’t wick moisture.
#### Are these jerseys the same as what the players wear on court?
No. Player-issued jerseys are made by the league’s official supplier. Fan versions are inspired replicas that match the visual design but use different materials and construction methods.
#### How long does shipping take?
Standard US delivery is 5 - 10 business days. International shipping varies by country. Tracked options are available at checkout.
#### Can I customize the name or number?
Many fan-made storefronts offer customization. You can add your own name and number for a small fee. Lead time adds 2 - 3 days.
#### What size should I get if I’m between sizes?
Size up if you want a looser fit for layering. Size down for a more athletic cut. Always check the store’s specific size chart.
