Youth #1 Howard Bison Basketball 2026 Lightweight Fan Version Jersey - Navy
Quick answer: Howard Bison colours, fan version construction, made for young supporters, 2026.
At a glance
- Softer hand-feel than a match shirt, with the Howard Bison crest in full
- Enough weight to hang properly, light enough for an August kick-off
Howard Bison fan version, stripped of the hype
It is a replica-grade Howard Bison supporter shirt: correct colours, correct crest placement, softer knit, roomier body.
Why basketball jerseys feel different
For the Howard Bison build, the game is played indoors at pace, so the build trades fabric weight for ventilation - a lighter knit, a freer armhole and a hem that hangs long without being tucked.
Sized for the next generation
Across the Howard Bison range, small supporters are hard on shirts, so this one washes cold, dries fast and survives the playground as well as the stands.
Replica build against match build
- Replica build: softer knit, easier grading, made for repeated washing.
- Match build: firmer fabric, athletic grading, premium price.
- Crest, colours and trim layout are identical across both.
Which version this is
Cut: fan version. That means a softer knit than the match shirt, a fit with room to breathe, and a price that makes sense for something you will actually wash every week.
Shoulders are the measurement people get wrong: for young fans the seam should sit on the shoulder bone, not past it.
