Observed annually on the first Friday of November, National Jersey Day kicks off the weekend before Veterans Day and is part of the broader celebration of National Sportsmanship Week. It’s a chance for fans of all ages to wear their favorite sports jerseys to school, work, or around town, sparking conversations, camaraderie, and a little friendly rivalry.
🏀 Long Island’s Local Pride
From high school athletes to die-hard pro fans, Long Island is home to a passionate sports community. Today, students across Suffolk and Nassau counties are wearing jerseys to school, and many workplaces are joining in with casual Friday flair.
Local businesses like Modell’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods are offering discounts on team gear, while youth leagues and rec centers are hosting mini pep rallies and photo contests. Even Long Island’s minor league teams—the Long Island Ducks and New York Riptide—are getting in on the action with giveaways and fan appreciation posts.
📸 Share Your Jersey Story
Every jersey tells a story. Maybe it’s the number you wore in high school, the name of your favorite player, or the team your family has cheered for across generations. Today is the perfect time to share those stories:
