The American t-shirt in the colours of US sports comes in various leagues and brands: NBA t-shirts for basketball, NFL t-shirts for American football, and MLB t-shirts for baseball. Specialist brands complete the selection: Mitchell & Ness, New Era, Starter, Spalding, Southpole, and Compagnie de Californie.
The franchise logos are prominently displayed on the chest or back, ranging from subtle to bold, in fan versions. For a US t-shirt, the fit matters: basketball and streetwear t-shirts are worn loose, while thick cotton models keep their shape after washing. All other models are in the t-shirts.
