An Aidan Hutchinson jersey is a defensive jersey that does not need a highlight reel to justify itself. Hutchinson wears number 97 for the Detroit Lions, the same number he wore at Michigan, and Vikings Warehouse lists six versions at $69.95 each: five Detroit 97 builds in white, blue and gray, plus his navy Michigan Wolverines jersey. This guide covers how he went from the second overall pick to Detroit's franchise pass rusher, what separates the six listings, and how to size, wear and wash a stitched 97 jersey.
Aidan Hutchinson's career with the Detroit Lions
Hutchinson played his college football at Michigan, where he wore 97, finished second in the 2021 Heisman Trophy voting as a defensive lineman and helped the Wolverines to a Big Ten title and a College Football Playoff appearance. The Detroit Lions then took him with the second overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, and he has worn 97 in Detroit ever since.
He made an immediate impact as a rookie, setting a Lions rookie record with 9.5 sacks in 2022, and he followed it with a Pro Bowl selection after the 2023 season as one of the most productive edge rushers in the NFC North. His 2024 season ended early with a fractured tibia and fibula suffered against the Dallas Cowboys in October, an injury that cost Detroit its best pass rusher for the rest of the year. That combination of production and a hard, visible injury year is exactly why a 97 jersey has become a common sight at Ford Field.
Should you buy an Aidan Hutchinson jersey?
Yes, an Aidan Hutchinson jersey is worth buying if you want a defensive jersey with a clear identity rather than another quarterback shirt. Aidan Hutchinson wears number 97 for the Detroit Lions, the number he also wore at Michigan, and the Lions drafted him second overall in 2022 out of that same Michigan programme. He set a Lions rookie record with 9.5 sacks in 2022 and earned a Pro Bowl selection after the 2023 season, before a fractured tibia and fibula ended his 2024 campaign in October. Vikings Warehouse lists six Hutchinson jerseys, all men's cuts at $69.95: a white and a blue 2023 F.U.S.E. Vapor Untouchable limited jersey, white, blue and gray Vapor Untouchable limited builds, and a navy Michigan Wolverines 2023 F.U.S.E. jersey. Sizing charts sit on each product page, and every listing is stitched, with the two 2023 F.U.S.E. builds using the newest fabric of the six. The decision is colour, not quality.
If you want the jersey he wears now, the white or blue 2023 F.U.S.E. build is the closest match. If you followed him in Ann Arbor, the Michigan version is the one that tells that story.
Every Aidan Hutchinson jersey we sell
All six listings are men's jerseys at $69.95, and all six use the 97 he has worn at both levels. The 2023 F.U.S.E. Vapor Untouchable builds are the two newest of the group: one white, one blue, both with the stitched numbering and nameplate that come with the limited tier. Beneath them sit the three earlier Vapor Untouchable Limited jerseys in white, blue and gray, which share the lighter, stretchier fabric and the closer cut. The gray is the odd one out in the best way, because it works as a neutral when a Honolulu blue jersey would clash with the rest of your outfit. The sixth listing is the navy Michigan Wolverines 2023 F.U.S.E. jersey, a college cut that pairs naturally with maize-and-blue gear. If you only buy one, take the blue 2023 F.U.S.E. jersey; it is the most recognisable version of 97 in Detroit.

Size, fit and care for a stitched 97 jersey
These jerseys follow the standard men's size chart, with measurements printed on each product page, so check your chest measurement rather than guessing from your t-shirt size. Football cuts are roomy through the chest and shoulders, which leaves space for a hoodie underneath in cold weather. Take your usual size for a traditional fit and one size up for a loose, stadium look.
Wash a stitched jersey inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then hang it on a wide hanger to dry. The dryer is what shrinks the fabric and cracks the stitching, so keep it out of the machine. No bleach, no fabric softener, and if you iron, use low heat with a cloth between the iron and the numbers. Wash a new blue jersey separately from light colours for the first few washes so the dye does not bleed.
How to style an Aidan Hutchinson jersey
Honolulu blue 97 works best as the only strong colour in the outfit: pair it with black jeans, grey sweats or dark shorts and keep the rest plain. The white build is the summer option and layers under a jacket without looking heavy, while the gray Vapor Untouchable jersey is the easiest of the six to wear with almost anything. Because it is a defensive number, it also reads well as a straightforward casual jersey rather than a game-day statement piece.
