It is a replica-grade Illinois State Redbirds supporter shirt: correct colours, correct crest placement, softer knit, roomier body.
Sizing that a gift-buyer can get right
For Illinois State Redbirds supporters, buying for someone else's child means guessing.
The basketball cut
In the Illinois State Redbirds cut, basketball shirts run lighter and freer than the gridiron build: an open armhole, a wider body and a knit that moves air.
How the price difference is earned
- The gap is fabric and finishing, not the design.
- Higher tiers use a denser knit and sew the trim rather than bond it.
- This one keeps the Illinois State Redbirds look and spends the saving on the price.
