The Short Sleeve and the Long Sleeve Baseball Ts draw on the iconic baseball jersey design. Their distinguishing feature is their contrast colour sleeves and neck trim, which project an athletic image with fashionable retro appeal.

The shirts are made in Fruit of the Loom's 100% cotton Valueweight fabric, 160/165 gm/m2, (97% cotton/3%polyester for the Heather Grey), which is an ideal weight for playing kit. The fabric's tight knit gauge and the use of a neckline with bound 1 x 1 rib with Lycra ensure excellent shape retention, for long lasting performance and long term value.

"The key selling points of the Baseball Ts are the garments' great looks and easy affordabilit," says brand director Alison McKenzie. "The contrast colourways serve to focus attention on any chest or back print, which will appeal to corporate sponsors. Customers have also reported that a small logo or player number in white looks very strong positioned on the darker colour sleeves."

The Long Sleeve Baseball T is available in six colourways: white body, with a choice of black, grey, navy or red sleeves and trim; or steel blue/deep navy and brick red/deep navy. The short sleeve version offers the same six colour choices, plus sunflower/kelly green and the thoroughly modern orange/light graphite. Sizing is S - XXL.

The new Baseball Hooded T translates the baseball shirt concept to a hoodie, in Fruit of the Loom's next-generation fleece fabric. The 70% cotton/30% polyester fleece blend, 260/280 gm/m2, has 100% cotton facing which virtually eliminates pilling, keeping the garment looking smarter for longer. The contrast colour sleeves have attractive cover-stitching detail and the double fabric hood features a contrast colour draw cord. The garment also sports the classic hoodie front pouch pocket.

The Baseball Hooded Sweat is available in four colourways and sizes S - XXL.

 For teams that prefer a single colour garment, there is the Fruit of the Loom Hooded Sweat. The garment is made from cotton-rich (80% cotton/20% polyester) fleece and features similar styling to the Baseball Hooded T. This classic team sports design is available in no fewer than 17 colours, so it can be matched to the colours in virtually any team strip. Like the Baseball Hooded Sweat, the Hooded Sweat provides an excellent surface for print and embroidery. Sizing is S - XXL.

"The T-shirts and sweats create a distinctive look for any sports team and will help to foster that all-important team spirit," says McKenzie. "They are affordable for even teams on the tightest budget, and look equally good away from the sports field or court. So they can be worn with pride to the pub or college bar after a game, or as fashionable leisurewear on other occasions."
