Can be machine-washed with mild soap in the short cycle. Do not use strong detergents. Tumble dry, remove immediately and fold to reduce wrinkles.
It the jersey is of wool then:
1) USE a proper WOOL SOAP:NEVER EVER use some hyper aggressive detergent. It is not made for wool and it'll eat holes in it and ruin the jersey. It is like sand blasting gravy off of fine china dinner plates!
2) WASHING - It's machine washable. Wash inside out, zippers up, in cold or luke warm water on delicate WOOL CYCLE ONLY with wool soap. Not permanent press cycle, not mixed with every piece of cotton shirt and jeans clothes you own. WOOL CYCLE ONLY separate (or with other wool)!!!
The delicate wool cycle is a fast cycle of about 25 minutes. Since wool doesn't hold odor, you wont need to wash the jersey maybe until the after six or seven uses.
3) DRYING - lay flat on a towel to dry inside away from light. Don't hang outside in sunlight. That is all. Pretty simple.
4) STORAGE - Always store the jersey when not in normal use in a sealed ziplock bag in a drawer that is used often. Why you ask? Well clothes moths hate LIGHT and they really hate MOVEMENT. So when you toss clothes in a dark corner of a closet and leave it there for a long time, the moths are like "AH SWEET, chow time without being disturbed!" but when you keep the jersey in a sealed bag in a drawer with clothes that you access daily (t-shirts, underwear, jeans etc), you opening and moving things around makes it totally unattractive for moths and reduces greatly any potential of damage.

I only know about hockey jerseys, but you don't mention which sport this one is from. You can wash hockey jerseys in cold water and you should hang them to dry.

You would probably be fine washing it on cold, inside out, on a delicate cycle and stuff, but if you wanted to be really careful you could handwash it.

Should be okay to machine wash. Just make sure you use cold water. You don't want it to shrink!

NO REAL OFFENSE MEANT, please forgive me, but it reminded me of a slogan, for a state. A new slogan actually, ya know, like on license tags etc.
N.J.,,,used to be the Garden State... I'd lobby to change that.
N.J. "What's that smell?"
