The making of

From colourway to first wear — the Illinois Fighting Illini build

01
The colours
Start with the navy — Illinois Fighting Illini through and through, applied so it stays sharp.
02
The fabric
The kind of Illinois Fighting Illini knit that dries overnight on a radiator without needing to be ironed.
03
The build
Lettering applied so the edges sit flush against the Illinois Fighting Illini knit. No ridge under a fingertip.
04
The fit
An easy regular Illinois Fighting Illini fit with no taper through the waist, so it doesn't ride up when you sit down.
05
The wear
Reads as Illinois Fighting Illini kit on match day and as a plain shirt on a Tuesday.

There's a version of the Illinois Fighting Illini football jersey you keep for occasions, and this navy one you wear on a Tuesday. It's built for the second.

The most common mistake with a Illinois Fighting Illini jersey is washing it hot and tumble drying it. Heat is what dulls the colour and moves the fibres, and that's the one thing we can't undo. Cold wash inside out, hang it up, and it'll look the same in three seasons.

Q01Can you wear a Illinois Fighting Illini football jersey outside of match days?▾
That's most of what people do with it. The Illinois Fighting Illini jersey reads as kit without looking like fancy dress, so it works with jeans, joggers, or layered over a hoodie when it turns cold. Mid-weight, so it isn't so thin that it looks like a costume and isn't so heavy that you'd only wear it on game day.
Q02Is the Illinois Fighting Illini jersey breathable enough for a warm day?▾
Yes — there's mesh where you need airflow most, so the Illinois Fighting Illini jersey stays comfortable well past half time. The knit is mid-weight rather than heavy, so it isn't clingy in heat and doesn't go transparent in sunlight. The same weight holds up in a cold stand too, which is why people wear it from August through to March.

Answers before you order

Your Illinois Fighting Illini jersey questions

▾
How do I keep the Illinois Fighting Illini colours sharp?▾
Cold wash, inside out, hang dry. That's the whole routine, and it takes less effort than most people expect. Do that and the Illinois Fighting Illini colour stays deep instead of dulling out after a dozen washes. Avoid fabric softener as well, because it coats the fibres and flattens the finish.
Does it run small or large?▾
It sits true to standard US sizing. Between two sizes, take the larger one, because a slightly loose jersey looks better untucked and layers more easily. It's worth measuring your chest rather than assuming, since a football jersey is cut with more room through the body than a regular t-shirt.
What if the name I want is already on the shirt?▾
Tell us what you're after and we'll confirm the spelling and the layout before anything is applied. If you want a different name to the one shown, that's a custom order and we'll set it up for you. Lettering is the one thing we can't undo once it's pressed on.
Is this football jersey good for summer?▾
It is — mesh sits where heat builds up, so you're not stuck in something heavy. Mid-weight overall, which also means it layers fine once it cools down. That's the reason people end up wearing the same jersey from a warm August match through to a cold one in March.
What sizes is the Illinois Fighting Illini jersey available in?▾
It's offered in Youth sizing, and the selector on this page shows exactly what's in stock right now. If the size you need isn't showing, message us and we'll check what we can source rather than have you settle for a fit that isn't right.
Will this Illinois Fighting Illini jersey shrink in the wash?▾
Not if you wash cold and air dry it. Heat is what moves the fibres, and it's the combination of a warm wash and a hot dryer that shrinks a jersey, rather than either one on its own. Keep it out of the tumble dryer and it stays the size you ordered.

The kind of Illinois Fighting Illini jersey that never quite makes it back into storage.
