Mercer Bears Jerseys & College Fan Gear

Fans backing Mercer Bears also look for jerseys from Meredith College Avenging Angels, Memphis Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Mcneese State Cowboys and Miami University Redhawks. Each one is listed with its current home and away designs.

A jersey is a printed, synthetic garment. Treat it like one and it will last years; throw it in a hot wash and the crest will start lifting within a season.

• Turn it inside out before washing — this protects the print and the nameset
• Wash cold, 30 °C, on a gentle cycle
• Skip the fabric softener — it clogs the moisture-wicking finish
• Hang to dry. Never tumble dry a jersey with a printed nameset
• If you must iron, do it inside out on low, and never over the print

Printed namesets last longest when washed inside a pillowcase. It sounds fussy; it adds years.

Mercer Bears jerseys come in two distinct cuts, and picking the wrong one is the most common reason for a return.

For casual wear, take your usual letter size in the replica cut. If you are between sizes and want to wear the jersey over a hoodie, size up one. Player-issue shirts run tight — most people size up one in those.

Most fans buy the home jersey and stop there, but teams release two or three designs a season and they are not the same garment in different colours.

Alternates are produced in smaller runs than the home jersey and tend to sell out first. If a design catches your eye, buy it in-season rather than waiting for a restock.
