Collar me Bad | The head of the jersey

The football shirt (soccer jersey) has certain things in common with a traditional dress shirt.

The bottons are absent but the collar is there at least those times when a high collar is chosen.

The crew neck and the v-neck do not quite resemble the dress shirt that much but they do point to the importance of the collar as a signiture feature of the jersey.
