What arrives in the parcel

- The Illinois State Redbirds design carried over whole - colours, crest and trim layout
What you feel against the Illinois State Redbirds match shirt
Against the Illinois State Redbirds 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.
Why the armhole is cut that way
An open armhole looks like a style choice and is not: it is what lets the Illinois State Redbirds basketball build move with the wearer instead of against them.
The Illinois State Redbirds trim, matched
On the Illinois State Redbirds design, collar, cuff and hem trim are cut to the same width as the reference design, which is what stops a supporter shirt looking approximated next to the real thing.
What changes between the tiers
- Every tier carries the same colourway and crest placement.
- What moves is the knit weight, the grading and how the trim is applied.
- This listing sits at the supporter end: softer fabric, roomier body.
Which version this is
For clarity: fan version. The colourway and crest are unchanged from the team design; the difference lives in the knit and the grading.
Shoulders are the measurement people get wrong: for supporters the seam should sit on the shoulder bone, not past it.
