- The San Francisco Dons palette reproduced at the top of the range
- Graded shoulders that sit where the seam should sit
The Swingman cut
With this San Francisco Dons listing, 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.
The Bill Russell factor
For San Francisco Dons supporters, the name on the back is Bill Russell - the reason this shirt exists.
Fabric that forgets the wash
The knit is finished to hold its grade through cold cycles: no shrinking at the hem, no twisting at the side seam, no pinking in the San Francisco Dons colour.
Where this sits in the range
- This rung: the everyday shirt, priced to be worn.
- Above it: closer cut, denser knit, stitched detailing.
- Below it: nothing - this is the entry to the San Francisco Dons range.
The version question, answered
The tier on this listing is the swingman one. Read that as a statement about fabric and grading, not about the design - the colours and crest are the same across the range.
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.
