Travis B. Key, a four-time Academic All-Big Ten safety for Michigan State University from 04’-07’ had this to say about what it means to dawn the jersey:

The color of your jersey represents your teammates and past players who have worn the jersey before you. A legacy was created by those from the past, and your teammates are the ones sweating and bleeding with you every day to make sure everyone upholds that legacy and achieves success on and off the field.

The jersey number stands for the accountability you have toward yourself. You are accountable to grind and never give up in the face of adversity because of all of the hard work and sacrifices you made to prepare yourself for life.

The name on the back of your jersey represents your family and friends. These are the people who have invested in you, broken down barriers for you and pushed you to get better each and every day. You represent everything your family name is built on and are accountable to maintain a high level of honor and dignity around it. You owe it to them to be fully committed to giving your very best at all times. 
Your jersey symbolizes accountability. It’s not just about you. Being a student-athlete comes with responsibility and duty. Every time you put on that jersey, remember what it truly means and who it stands for. Give everything you have and make those you represent proud.

Work hard. Be great.

No matter the sport, the jersey represents work-ethic, dignity, unity, family, friendship, triumph, as well as defeat. It represents moments in history, achievements in the future but most of all, it symbolizes when we were striving for the same goal as equals, brothers and sisters alike. •
