FAQs
Is the material stretchy?
The jersey is made from 100% Polyester Interlock, which provides a structured feel with some natural give, but it does not have the high elasticity of spandex or elastane blends.
How should I choose the right size?
Given the 'Ultra Slim' fit, we recommend checking the size chart against your child's measurements. If they prefer a looser fit for training, consider selecting one size larger than their standard age-based size.
Can I tumble dry this jersey?
It is not recommended to tumble dry. Polyester is quick-drying by nature, so hanging the jersey on a rack will be sufficient and will extend the life of the print.
Is this suitable for match play?
Yes, it is designed as a professional-grade training and match jersey, suitable for club play and youth tournaments.
Does the fabric breathe well?
Yes, the Interlock polyester construction is chosen specifically for its moisture-wicking and breathability characteristics during high-intensity sports.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels too tight across the chest
The jersey is designed with an ultra-slim fit; if the current size is restrictive, consider sizing up to allow for base layer garments underneath.
Logo showing signs of wear after washing
Always turn the jersey inside out before placing it in the washing machine and avoid using harsh fabric softeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical sports garment, proper care is essential to maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of the jersey:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (30°C/86°F) to protect the polyester fibers and the screen-printed logo.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the fabric to shrink or the print to peel.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, but always iron the garment inside out to avoid direct contact with the logo.
- Compatibility: This jersey pairs best with Joma technical shorts and is designed to fit under standard pinnies or team bibs during practice.
