* Kiryu Coco of ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' is noted by her fellow idols to be wearing nothing but Adidas tracksuits (and products) in real life. This eventually led her to acquire a new casual outfit for her [=Live2D=] model, one with a jersey. Her room mate, Amane Kanata, who is notorious for having bad fashion sense, saw an improvement when she adopted the same style.

* The members of the William [=McKinley=] High School [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball football]] team in ''Series/{{Glee}}'' are almost never seen outside of their practice and matches without the preppy baseball-like jackets of the team. This is probably to avoid being the targets of their own group's bullying antics, which involves throwing drinks at nerds, shoving people into lockers, or any other methods of abuse. It's notable that even though Finn and Puck are star players on the team, after joining the glee club, they slowly start to shed from the preppy jackets, until they never wear them again by the senior year (third season).

This style can be worn by passionate sports fanatics of either a popular team, or a team that they play on themselves; the JerkJock might sometimes wear his jersey as a CustomUniform at school, and in some cases if a character used to play sports in school, wearing their old school jersey may be a sign that they are holding on to past glories, or that their whole identity is tied to their time as a varsity athlete. Other times, it's just something the character prefers to wear.

With a LimitedWardrobe in many media universes, characters wear unique clothing to stand out to the audience. In the case of this character, why would they consider wearing casual clothes like everyone else when you could wear a sports jersey?

This style can be worn by passionate sports fanatics of either a popular team, or a team that they play on themselves; the JerkJock might sometimes wear his jersey as a CustomUniform at school, and in some cases if a character used to play sports in school, wearing their old school jersey may be a sign that they are holding on to past glories, or that their whole identity is tied to their time as a varsity athlete. Other times, it's just something the character prefers to wear.

In Japanese media, people wear sportswear-like clothing as loungewear that they nickname a "jersey", which has very negative connotations, implying that said character is lazy. It's sometimes the wearer's intention to invoke this for ObfuscatingStupidity in case they do dangerous activities, such as fighting villains.

See also SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack, which is arguably the same type of trope, but with school uniforms instead.

* Yato, from ''Manga/{{Noragami}}'' is a God of Calamity and known for wearing the same sportswear outfit every day all the time. He insists it's cool but both his [[EquippableAlly Exemplar]], Yukine, and human acquaintance Hiyori call him out on it regularly, calling him lazy and gross, as if he never washes it. Possibly justified in that he does go around fighting and killing phantoms -- the embodiments of human's negative thoughts, and doing other odd jobs, trying to save up for a temple of his own.

* Casey from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' is a huge fan of the Electabuzz baseball team. She constantly wears the team's jersey and baseball cap.
* Ryoma from ''Anime/ThePrinceOfTennis'' occasionally wears his tennis club uniform outside of his training classes and matches, but he is almost never seen without his team's cap, unless he is going to school.
* Toji from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is often seen in a tracksuit and jogging pants during school (the only time he doesn't is in the ninth episode). This is probably one of the reasons why he is always getting under the skin of the ClassRepresentative Hikari (other than her infatuation with him).
