How to Reuse a Hockey Jersey

By design, hockey jerseys are used as both apparel and to identify players. Made of satiny, perforated cotton of various colors and usually adorned with a player number, the player's last name, the name of the team and team emblem, every part of the jersey's design is functional. This doesn't mean, however, that you can't re-use a hockey jersey for another purpose. In fact, these garments are versatile.

Instructions

    • 1

      Hand old hockey jerseys down to family members or friends, particularly if the jerseys are not team-specific. This will save the jersey from the trash can and save someone else some money from buying a new one.

    • 2

      Wear the old hockey jersey as everyday apparel. Whether it's "Team Sports Day" at the office or at school and you want to support your favorite team, or you simply want to make a fashion statement, hockey jerseys are perfectly suited for use outside their intended purpose.

    • 3

      Hang your old jersey on the wall to commemorate your amateur or professional hockey career, alongside any trophies, plaques, photos or other memorabilia. Your jersey, particularly if it has your last name printed on it, can be a reminder of the time you spent playing the sport.

    • 4

      Cut your old jersey into pieces and use those pieces as rags or stuff boxes filled with delicate items. Just as you can do with old T-shirts, you can re-use the jersey fabric for practical purposes.

    • 5

      Donate old jerseys to charity.
