Short version: Cal Bears jersey in the fan version cut, for young supporters, 2026.
This shirt, itemised
- On the fabric: 100% Polyester knit with a flat, matte finish
- Wash-and-wear finish that keeps its colour at 30 degrees
What you feel against the Cal Bears match shirt
Against the Cal Bears match shirt: a softer hand-feel, more give through the chest and shoulders, and a hem that does not ride up when you sit down.
Indoors, most of the time
Basketball is played inside, so the Cal Bears shirt is built for a controlled temperature - lighter than the gridiron knit, and layered only on the way to the game.
Sized for the next generation
On the Cal Bears version, small supporters are hard on shirts, so this one washes cold, dries fast and survives the playground as well as the stands.
The honest difference between the builds
- The Cal Bears design does not change between tiers - colours and crest are fixed.
- What changes is fabric weight, grading and how the trim is fixed on.
- This listing is the wear-it-every-week end of that range.
What tier you are ordering
This listing is the fan version cut. It carries the same colours and crest as the on-field design, with a softer knit, a more forgiving fit and a lighter price - made for wearing rather than for the tunnel.
Order the size you normally wear for a close-but-comfortable fit for young fans; go one up only if you plan to layer underneath.
