Status: Partially Lost

The Jersey was Disney Channel sports-themed comedy show that aired 64 episodes between January 1999 and March 2004.[1][2] The show featured a group of teenagers who came into possession of the titular jersey, a magical piece of clothing that would place the kids into the bodies of real-life sports icons such as professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. The transformations would often be shown in "Quantum Leap Style" with some shots featuring the teenage actors as the sports star and other shots featuring the athlete as a guest star.

The show never received a home video release and is not available on Disney's streaming platform Disney+ despite other Disney Channel shows of the time such as So Weird being regularly available. It is not known why the series has not been made more widely available. It can be speculated that the show's extensive use of real-life sports teams may have created difficult licensing agreements with the athletic organizations involved complicating any future releases.

Availability

A YouTube playlist for the found episodes can be found here.
Of all 64 episodes aired, only 29 episodes have been fully found and are available, thanks to YouTube user gleeful321 for uploading 19 full episodes across multiple seasons of the series, and YouTube user DarkManX16 for uploading 9 more episodes across seasons of this series, with promos and bumpers included.

Another YouTube user, DisneyAndStuff101, uploaded his airing of the episode, "Three Boys And A Nephew", to YouTube, making 30 episodes found.

The episode, "Origins: Part 1", has clips from the episode, "Origins: Part 2", which is shown from the first minutes of its episode, marking it partially found.

The pilot and the very first episode of the series, "The Magic Jersey", uploaded by gleeful321, had a missing scene in the beginning as it transitions to the scenes with the kids roller-skating, marking it partially lost until November 30th when Vexer6 uploaded a full version with the complete beginning. This wouldn't be until December of 2023 when a user from Sitcoms Online forums would share the full episode online.
