New Jersey?

CALF

Think of a young cow rather than a state for this one.

This clue plays on the double meaning of "New Jersey." While it sounds like the U.S. state, it’s actually hinting at a "jersey" as in the knitted material—specifically, a calf-length jersey, like the sleeve of a sweater or the leg covering for a young cow. The question mark signals wordplay, nudging you to think beyond the obvious place name. So "New Jersey" cleverly points to a baby cow’s leg covering, or a calf.
