There are many ways to approach this, but here are a few thoughts I had reading your question: - Definitely use "football jersey" rather than "football shirt" - Describe not just what the clothing is but _how_ it is - does it fit tightly, or is it loose? Are the colors bright or faded? Does it appear worn-out or dirty, or freshly washed? - Pay attention to how the character is running, and describe it in a way that says something about the eyes through which you're seeing him run. Does he sprint, charge, jog, or pant, etc? - try to avoid using adverbs a lot (like "boldly" - if you have others in surrounding context, this one could probably go). Hope this is helpful!
