Sportlux Plus Black Football T-Shirt in Cotton, Oversized Dropped Shoulders

The biggest print in the drop. A black football t-shirt carrying an amber ball bursting like a sun over a player drawn in loose white strokes, head back, arms open, with Born to Play set in amber caps underneath. Printed on washed black 200 GSM cotton jersey and cut oversized, with a dropped shoulder that gives the artwork the width it needs to read properly.

Size by size measurements

All taken flat off a finished piece, not copied from a chart.

Chest is a flat measurement one inch below the armhole at the widest point, so double it for the circumference. Length runs from the high shoulder point to the hem. Sleeve runs from the shoulder seam to the opening. Half an inch of variation either way is normal on a hand measured garment.

Order your usual size. A black football t-shirt cut on an oversized block already carries the volume through the chest, and a size up reads long rather than roomy.

Fabric and build

100% cotton single jersey at 200 GSM, in washed black rather than raw black. Raw black goes chalky and flat within a few months and photographs as a hole in the image. Washed black keeps a soft depth in daylight, which is what lets the white sketch lines and the amber ball sit on it without looking pasted on. Two hundred grams is heavy enough to hold the dropped shoulder away from the body and light enough to keep wearing through a Pakistani summer.

Ribbed crew neck, short sleeve, straight hem, side seamed so the panel does not twist on the wash. On a dark ground the print method decides how long a design lasts. This black football t-shirt uses a flat print with no raised edge, so the fine splatter detail around the ball stays intact instead of cracking across the chest.
