Colour that lasts
On the Northwestern Wildcats design, dyeing is done so the tone stays true after repeat washes.
What you gain and what you give up
- You gain a softer knit, an easier fit and a lower price.
- You give up the athletic grading and the sewn-on detailing.
- You do not give up the Northwestern Wildcats design - that carries across.
Version and sizing, plainly
What you are buying is the fan version 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.
If you normally take a medium in sports tops, take a medium here. Layering is the only reason to move up a size for supporters.
