What is a breakaway jersey?

A breakaway jersey is a type of hockey jersey that is designed to easily come off in case of an emergency or on-ice altercation. It has clips or snaps at the shoulders and sides that allow the jersey to quickly and easily come off when pulled. Breakaway jerseys are primarily used in youth and recreational leagues as a safety measure to prevent injuries. They are also used by professional hockey teams as an alternative to traditional jerseys during warmups or promotional events. Breakaway jerseys are usually made from lightweight, breathable materials and can be customized with team logos and player names.
