A basketball uniform typically consists of a sleeveless jersey or tank top and shorts made of a lightweight, breathable fabric such as polyester or a blend of polyester and spandex. The jersey often features the team's colors, name, and player number on the front and back. The shorts are typically knee-length and may also feature the team's colors and logo. Both the jersey and shorts may have additional features such as mesh panels for ventilation, reinforced seams for durability, and elastic waistbands for a secure fit. Players often wear athletic shoes designed for basketball that provide support, traction, and cushioning for their feet and ankles. Socks that cover the ankle may also be worn for added support and to prevent blisters. Some teams also wear matching warm-up suits or shooting shirts before and after games. These garments may also feature the team's colors and logo and are designed to keep players warm and limber before the game and to help regulate their body temperature after the game
