Girl Wearing A Sweater

Ice hockey
The uniforms that present day ice hockey players wear are sometimes referred to as "sweaters," although they more closely resemble the jerseys worn in other sports. This is because original uniforms were simply sweaters with the team's logo stitched on the front. However, as technology changed, so did the uniforms as actual sweaters absorbed too much moisture and became weighed down and bulky throughout the course of a game.
