@freakboy3742 This site is kind of the mother lode of fictional jerseydom: https://www.geekyjerseys.com/

@freakboy3742 @glyph I couldn't find any official ones, but maybe jerseys from the one Owl House episode taking the piss out of the other series? Bonus, it's YA and very queer.

@vivtek@indieweb.social 2026-03-26 23:15
@freakboy3742 The Unseen Academicals? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseen_Academicals No official merch, though. And most of Pratchett isn't YA.

@freakboy3742 Not as whimsical, but what about the Mighty Ducks or AFC Richmond?

@freakboy3742 How about Percy Jackson? His camp is Camp Half Blood, they seem to have a uniform, they have t-shirts and hoodies in their merch range. (Not sure about jerseys though...?) Camp Half Blood isn't a sport, but they do hold sporty events kinda?

@freakboy3742 Would a tshirt or hoodie do? https://www.m00nshot.com/products/lane-meyer-k-12-champion-unisex-t-shirt It's a Better Off Dead reference.

@freakboy3742 The Mighty Ducks was fictional until Disney made it real. You could get one in the original style.

@freakboy3742 I've seen jerseys for Bad News Bears, Space Jam, The Sandlot. Disney makes jerseys themed for some of their characters like Stich or Mickey.

@freakboy3742 I went looking for Sport Jersey things from the Discworld ... An earlier entry to the wizards and witches genre from england... Not much luck.

@freakboy3742 My fave: https://www.etsy.com/market/miskatonic_university_hoodie Not usually considered YA, but many of the stories are mostly appropriate for YA readers. (Avoiding the stories with heavy racism and misogyny. Lovecraft’s works have problems.)
-
@adammoe2022@c.im 2026-03-27 00:49
@freakboy3742 Perhaps Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League series? They have jerseys for the many of the teams, and the books are actually pretty fun. Sports, crime, space opera stuff.

@freakboy3742 Check out Geeky Jerseys. Not exactly what you're describing but might be something. I grabbed a wonderful Dread Pirates hockey jersey from them several years ago.. Looks just like this except in my closet. 😁

@freakboy3742 Girl Genius is a great comic/ fiction book universe. I have one of these, it's comfy. https://www.cafepress.com/+,1458203932?attr2=8915

@freakboy3742 It’s not fiction, but it sounds like fiction, and it’s what I’d go with: In 1992, the Grateful Dead sponsored the Lithuanian national basketball team — and these are really actually the jerseys they wore. I’ve always dreamed of buying a reproduction (the real ones are collectors items, extremely rare and expensive).

@freakboy3742 How about she wear some "Niners" #baseball shirts (from the baseball team in board the #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine space station)? Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Niners Team Raglan Baseball T-Shirt https://share.google/fA2N6TrrhFfeMqFAY

@freakboy3742 https://www.geekyjerseys.com/product.php?id=425 This is D&D branded, but it’s effective for the Dimension 20 Fantasy High series where Aguefort Academy’s sports team is the Owlbears. “Hoot! Growl!” EDIT: some reviews say this company is oft n very slow to fulfill orders. I’ve never ordered from them

@pizzapal@mastodon.sdf.org 2026-03-27 01:41
@freakboy3742 how about the cutters from "breaking away"? the movie was fictional, but they are a real team (the "true story" part of the movie).

@freakboy3742 This isn't fictional, but it might do the trick for you. It's a 2 year residential high school in North Carolina. You can either be a Unicorn (Durham, & my preference) or a Dragon (Morganton): https://www.ncssm.edu/spirit-store

@freakboy3742 johnny wander used to have "authentic sports anime" shirts, but i can only find totes now: https://www.crwnstudios.com/collections/johnny-wander/products/sports-anime-tote

@j_bertolotti@mathstodon.xyz 2026-03-27 06:44
@freakboy3742 There might not be any official merchandise, but I would go straight for the "Unseen Academicals" 😉 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseen_Academicals Alternatively, a Bloodbowl one.
-
@bleistifterin@fnordon.de 2026-03-27 08:07
@freakboy3742 there is always the Unseen Academics Football team. Or , of course AFC Richmond.

@freakboy3742 in addition to other suggestions here someone I mentioned this too suggested looking into Pokémon merch, although this may generate a lot of technical questions

@freakboy3742 Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League novels are YA - possibly more teens than primary age, but they have sports merchandise for the teams: https://scottsigler.com/collections/clothing

@freakboy3742 I don't know about jerseys, but I did pick up a Hawkins High letter jacket a while back (Stranger Things, apparently still a thing)

@freakboy3742 Would be nice if the Unseen University had a team of something, I would get behind that! Oups! Just seen it has already been suggested, love it!

@freakboy3742 a made-up university whose initials spell out a rude word (along the lines of Free University of the City of Kensington, which I just made up now)? Oh wait, primary school. Maybe not. High school, I would do this for.

@freakboy3742 There are a ton of manga options with merch, but also the "Descendants" series has sports teams and (since it's been Disneyfied) maybe merch.
