American football terminology - 03/08/22 12:56 PM
Hi all,
If you know about American football, I could really use your help with an original fiction short story I am writing which is based on a visual prompt of an American football referee. I dislike organized sports in general, and violent ones in particular, so I am dipping my toes into an area in which I know very little.
Would the referee refer to his/her upper garment as a jersey, or just as a shirt? Search engine results are inconclusive. I think "shirt" would be a safer bet, but if "jersey" is appropriate, its use would make it seem more as if I actually knew what I was talking about.
Thanks in advance for any help.
