In my experience, few styles of shirt rival the wearability of a well constructed football tee. On top of that, the thicker cotton variations and clean lines make it feel more designed than a basic tee, even though it's based on garments you probably wore as an elementary student.

Challenger is quickly becoming one of my new favourite brands with pieces like this. Their twist on a simple chambray shirt here is brilliant I think. Taking the classic reference of a bandana pattern and using it on the cuffs and collar provide for some great detail when worn underneath a sweatshirt or maybe another shirt. The hits on the flap pockets tie the whole shirt together for when it’s worn on its own, and it’d be a great option if you’re still unsure on wearing a neckerchief too. It’s the kind of shirt that’s seemingly a bit crazy but it’s so well done it almost feels natural and once on would feel totally normal and simply just look good.
