Basketball Shirts Frequently Asked Questions

What shirt to wear for basketball?

Choose a basketball shirt that's lightweight and comfortable to move in. A short sleeve tee or sleeveless tank top with a loose or relaxed fit is great for both range of motion and airflow. Look for moisture-managing technology like CLIMACOOL to keep you cool and moving on the court.

Why are basketball shirts tucked in?

Basketball players tuck in their shirts for several reasons. Tucking your basketball shirt into your shorts keeps it from getting caught on your arms or legs, improving your range of motion. This also reduces distractions to help keep you locked in on your game. Finally, tucked-in shirts provide a professional, uniform appearance on the court and contributes to a sense of team unity during competitive games.

Why do basketball players wear half sleeves?

Some players find half-length sleeves provide more coverage than a short sleeve basketball shirt, while also providing the comfort and airflow of short sleeves. Half sleeves allow for flexibility and motion during arm movements(like shooting or passing). And some simply like the way a half sleeve looks.
