What you get

  • 100% Polyester knit with a flat, matte finish
  • Mesh panels for ventilation

The Swingman cut

The Swingman is the mid-tier basketball build: a fuller, looser cut than the on-field jersey, in a slightly heavier mesh that drapes rather than clings.

Care that keeps it new

Cold machine wash, inside out, then tumble dry low.

Fit and sizing

Cut to a standard athletic shape that follows the body without gripping it.

Fan version vs on-field version

  • Fan version: softer knit, roomier fit, lower price.
  • On-field version: closer cut, firmer fabric, premium price.
  • Team colours and crest are the same on both.

Version, sizing and what you are buying

What you are buying is the swingman cut, which is what most supporters actually want. Same look as the on-field shirt, softer hand-feel, roomier fit, and easier to live in week to week.

Sizing runs true to a standard athletic cut for supporters. If you are between sizes, or you want room for layering, take the next size up.

Frequently asked questions

How does this cut compare to the on-field shirt?

It is a premium supporter cut. The knit is firmer and the fit closer than the fan version, at well below on-field pricing.

Is it breathable in warm weather?

Yes. The knit moves moisture away from the skin, so it stays comfortable on hot afternoons in the stands.

Can I wear it with jeans?

Yes. The cut is clean enough to wear away from the ground, and jeans and trainers work fine.

Is it comfortable for everyday wear?

Yes. It is cut for normal life rather than only for the ground, so it layers easily and washes simply.

WHAT REALLY MAKES OUR THREADS UNBEATABLE?​​

We don’t chase thread counts. Not because they don’t matter—but because true quality goes far beyond threads per square inch. Here’s what we prioritize instead:
  • ​Finest Organic Materials: We start with the purest, ethically sourced organic cotton, silk, or linen—fibers chosen for their strength, softness, and ability to age gracefully. No shortcuts, no compromises.
  • ​Meticulous Weaving: Every thread is woven with care, using time-honored techniques that preserve the integrity of the fabric. No rough edges, no fraying—just smooth, durable construction.
  • ​Gentle Finishing: Harsh chemicals? Never. We use plant-based dyes, natural softeners, and low-impact processes to finish our threads, ensuring they stay breathable, hypoallergenic, and kind to your skin.
