Youth Cleveland Indians Red Alternate Jersey
Cleveland · AL Central
Kids do not baby their gear. This youth Cleveland Indians jersey is built for grass stains, snack breaks and a hundred washes.
Built for the Ballpark: Core Details
- Evenly set buttons and a clean front line that stays flat whether you sit or stand
- Breathable double-knit mesh polyester that handles muggy July day games
- Bold team wordmark and numbers with cleanly finished stitching throughout
- Youth sizing with a shorter body and sleeve that keeps the fit clean
How It Fits Through All Nine Innings
Cut for youth proportions rather than scaled-down adult sizing. The chest runs roughly 28-34 inches across the youth range, with a shorter body and sleeve so it does not swallow them.
Breathable polyester with a smooth face and a soft hand. It resists wrinkles in a duffel bag and dries fast on a hotel towel rack.
Stitching, Trim & Construction
Chest lettering and back numbers are applied in a stitched tackle twill style. Edges stay sharp, and the color does not crack the way thin prints do.
Ways to Rock Your Colors
The layering move is simple: tee underneath in summer, hoodie under the jersey when the night game turns cold. The relaxed cut leaves room for both.
It is the rare gift that works without knowing a favorite player. Team and color do the heavy lifting, and sizing is straightforward.

Good to Know Before You Order
Can a petite adult or woman wear a Youth Large or Youth XL jersey?
Yes — this is one of the most popular sizing hacks among baseball fans. A Youth XL typically fits similar to an Adult XS / Women's Small in the chest (~38-40 inches), with slightly shorter sleeve and body length.
Are the buttons spaced closely enough so the front doesn't gap?
Yes. The placket uses reinforced flat-seam construction with properly spaced buttons across the chest and midsection, preventing awkward gapping whether you're sitting in the bleachers or standing up for a home run.
Should I size up to wear a hoodie underneath for April or October night games?
If you plan to layer this jersey over a heavyweight fleece hoodie, we recommend going up one size so the shoulders and chest don't feel restricted. For wearing over a normal short-sleeve tee or solo, order your regular US size.
How do I wash this jersey without ruining the twill numbers?
Button it up completely, turn it inside out, and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Always hang it to air dry — never use a hot dryer or iron directly over the lettering.
Get yours before the next home stand
Pick your size, add it to the cart, and have it ready for the next Progressive Field trip.
Care note: Wash with similar colors for the first few cycles. Do not iron directly over the lettering, and keep it away from a hot dryer drum.
