Youth #1 Minnesota Golden Gophers Hockey 2026 Fan Version Jersey - Maroon
At a glance: the Minnesota Golden Gophers jersey for young supporters, built as a fan version cut for 2026.

- Hem cut long enough to stay put when you sit down in the stands
What the Minnesota Golden Gophers fan version changes
The Minnesota Golden Gophers fan version keeps the look - colours, crest, badge placement - and changes what you feel: a softer knit, a little more room through the body, and a price that suits wearing it every week rather than framing it.
The hockey build
Across the Minnesota Golden Gophers range, hockey shirts are the heaviest knit in the range, with a longer body and fuller sleeves so they sit comfortably over a base layer in a cold arena.
Graded down, not scaled down
Across the Minnesota Golden Gophers range, scaling an adult block by a percentage gives a child a shirt with the wrong sleeve and a collar that gapes.
Replica build against match build
- Replica build: softer knit, easier grading, made for repeated washing.
- Match build: firmer fabric, athletic grading, premium price.
- Crest, colours and trim layout are identical across both.
Version, fit and sizing
For clarity: fan version. The colourway and crest are unchanged from the team design; the difference lives in the knit and the grading.
If you normally take a medium in sports tops, take a medium here. Layering is the only reason to move up a size for young fans.
