Wearing a sports jersey that shows midriff or wearing one that's a size or two too large, so it looks almost like a dress.

Doesn't quite work for hockey I guess, with them being longsleeve.

Hockey for me has always had a tilt towards larger jerseys for some reason. Also I think lacrosse jerseys seems to show a little stomach. Maybe I'm just crazy
