Youth Detroit Lions 1996 Retired Player Throwback Jersey

Supporting Detroit Lions is a habit, not a fixture. This jersey is made for the hours between kick-off and full time - and for the rest of the week. One line: throwback Detroit Lions jersey for young supporters - 1996 season.

What you get

  • Stitched trim on the seams and collar
  • 100% Polyester knit with a flat, matte finish

Throwback reissue detail

This is a throwback reissue: the colourway, crest and cut revive an earlier era of the club's shirt rather than the current campaign.

Fit and sizing

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

Fabric that behaves

The knit is spun for movement: light in the hand, breathable across the back, and quick to dry after a long afternoon in the sun.

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 throwback 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.

The fit is true to a normal sports cut for young fans. Order your usual size for a close-but-comfortable fit, or size up if you prefer something looser.

Frequently asked questions

Is this current season or a throwback design?

It is a throwback reissue. The design revives an earlier era of the club's kit rather than the current campaign.

Can I put my own name on it?

Yes. The custom option accepts any name and number, including your own.

What does it look like in person?

Close to the photographs. The colour is matched to the team palette and the finish is matte rather than shiny.

Is the number printed or stitched?

It depends on the version. Heat-sealed detail is standard on the fan version, while higher tiers use stitched detail.

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.
