Before you choose a size

Compared with the authentic version, this has roughly two inches more in the body and a softer shoulder. It is the one supporters actually wear rather than the one they frame.

Sweat moves through the knit instead of sitting on it, which is the difference between comfortable and clammy after an hour in the sun.

Custom printing & personalisation

Want Walter Payton across the shoulders? Official-style lettering is available, or customise it with a name and number that survives repeated washing.

Design accents: Navy base colourway, Stitched tackle-twill lettering

How it fits and feels

Cut with a little ease in the waist. It will not cling, and it will not make you look like you borrowed someone else's shirt.

The knit has a subtle stretch in both directions, so it accommodates movement without losing shape.

Hem and cuffs are twin-needle stitched. It is a small cost increase that roughly doubles the life of those edges.

Where you will wear it

Wear it to the match, obviously. But it works just as well at a bar, on a bike, or under a jacket on a cold Tuesday.

Order early — throwback kits in popular sizes tend to move faster than the home version.

Care and washing

Wash with the collar buttoned and the shirt turned inside out. It reduces stress on the placket and protects the crest.

Common questions
Can I actually play football in this, or is it just for wearing?

You can train in it — the 100% performance poly-spandex interlock handles sweat and movement fine. The distinction is fit: a closer athletic cut that sits nearer the body is cut for comfort rather than the compression fit competitive players usually want.

Is custom printing included in the price?

Printing is priced separately and itemised at checkout, so you see the full total before confirming.

How often should I wash it?

Less than you think. Unless genuinely dirty, airing overnight is kinder to the fabric than another cycle — every wash costs a little lifespan.
