For those panicking over late Christmas shopping, I ordered this on Dec 13th 2021. I paid the $8.95 expedited shipping to get it by Christmas. They said it would arrive between Dec 21-23. It arrived this early afternoon on Dec 15th via Fed Ex. I can’t say whether everyone will have the same luck,, but this vendor gets the need to ship out orders quickly, which they did, helping it arrive a week early. Hurray!
The shirt is butter soft. The design is part of the fabric. It’s not printed on top of the fabric, it’s actually in the dye lot, so it can’t peel or have that red soccer jersey vinyl lettering shrivel effect after washing. The badge is not embroidered like you’d find on the $100 name brand jerseys. It’s printed on raised padded fabric and is sewn on to the shirt, not ironed or glued on. So it should stay on throughout washing. The side panels are slightly ventilated Dry-tech styled fabric which is helpful with polyester shirts.
