Re: Jersey
And apparently a football jersey is derived from a knitted wool originating in Jersey. So did the cows (originate in Jersey).

Re: Jersey
Yep, Jersey cows originated on Jersey. Lillie Langtry, the Jersey Lilly, famous singer and naughty girl of an earlier age was from there. She was the darling of kings, and perhaps mistress of one. Marilyn Monroe reminds me of her - Lillie, that is, not the Jersey cow.
