Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Jersey: What the No. 22 Marks

A Caitlin Clark jersey from her Iowa years carries more history than almost any college jersey of the past decade. She wore No. 22 for four seasons, finished as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I basketball, and led Iowa to two straight national title games. In February 2025 Iowa retired the number. Here is what that 22 stands for and how to pick the right version.

The scoring record

Clark finished her Iowa career with 3,951 points, the most ever in Division I, men or women. Along the way she passed Kelsey Plum’s women’s record and then Pete Maravich’s long-standing overall mark, which had stood since 1970. Many of her points came on deep three-pointers that made her a nightly highlight.

Two straight title games

In 2023 Iowa reached the national championship game for the first time and lost to LSU. In 2024 the Hawkeyes made it back and lost to an unbeaten South Carolina team. Fans who watched those runs often want a jersey that marks the college chapter rather than her pro career.

Iowa jersey or pro jersey?

After Iowa, Clark went first overall to the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft and kept No. 22. That means two very different jerseys share the same number. A quick way to tell them apart is the team name in the listing title:

• Iowa Hawkeyes listings mark her college years. The image above is one, titled “Caitlin Clark Jersey #22 Iowa Hawkeyes College Basketball Stitched White.”
• Indiana Fever listings mark her WNBA career.

Choosing a color

Iowa’s colors are black and gold, and the listing shown above is white. Check the color name in each title before you order. If you are buying for a young fan who plays, a color that matches their own team can make the jersey easier to wear to practice.

A jersey for a new kind of fan

Clark brought a lot of first-time viewers to women’s college basketball. Many of them are kids, and for them a 22 jersey is the first sports jersey they ask for. For a parent, the story is easy to share: this is the player who scored more points than anyone in college basketball history.
