Youth Xander Bogaerts Boston Red Sox Light Blue City Connect Jersey
Boston · AL East
Made for brisk April openers and humid July doubleheaders at Fenway Park, carrying over a century of Boston Strong tradition.
The Game-Day Breakdown
- Button-front design that works as a light layer in April and a standalone shirt in July
- Lightweight moisture-wicking weave that keeps air moving across your chest and shoulders
- Durable twill chest wordmark and back details that won't crack or peel after washing
- Youth sizing with a shorter body and sleeve that keeps the fit clean
- City Connect inspired palette
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.
Ventilation matters more than people think over nine innings. This knit keeps air moving across the chest and shoulders, even in direct sun.
Details That Hold Up Past Wash One
The placket is stitched flat so the front does not curl after a wash. Buttons are smooth, evenly spaced and easy to work with one hand.
Layering Guide: April Chill to August Heat
Wear it closed with jeans and sneakers for a clean look, or open over a white tee when the afternoon gets warm. A cap finishes it without trying too hard.
It is the rare gift that works without knowing a favorite player. Team and color do the heavy lifting, and sizing is straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Women's cut differ from the Men's/Unisex jersey?
The Women's silhouette is gently tapered through the waist with narrower shoulders and a slightly shorter hem so it doesn't feel boxy, while still leaving enough room to layer over a tank top or tee.
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.
Do the stitched letters and numbers feel scratchy on the inside?
Not at all. While the exterior features crisp tackle twill with raised stitching for that classic stadium look, the interior backing is finished smoothly so it won't chafe against bare skin when worn solo in the summer.

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.
