Player or Fan Version

Which jersey should I pick?

Picking a team jersey can be a bit tricky. Do you go for a fan jersey that's comfy and slightly cheaper, or do you pay the extra on a player jersey just like the pros wear? If you're scratching your head over this, you're not alone.

If you're torn between the two, this article is for you. We'll break down the differences between fan and player jerseys, so you can figure out which one's the best fit for you. Whether you're all about comfort, wearability, or a bit of both, keep reading to find the perfect jersey to cheer on your team.

Fan edition jerseys!

  • Material: They are made from a lighter, more breathable fabric that's comfortable for everyday wear.

  • Fit: Designed for casual wear, these jerseys have a more relaxed fit compared to the snug, athletic fit of player editions.

  • Detailing: While they feature team colors and logos, the detailing might be less intricate or slightly different from what's seen on the field or court. These jerseys have the logos and badges embroidered on so they have a weightier look and feel.

  • Price: $10 cheaper than all player versions on Kit Haus.

Player edition jerseys!

  • Material: The most notable difference in the feel of player version jerseys is the fabric. It’s extremely lightweight and stretchy. This fabric is designed to be breathable, with many tiny holes to allow for ventilation. And, the sweat-wicking feature of a player version jersey keeps moisture away from a player’s body, while the fabric dries more quickly.

  • Fit: They have a performance-oriented fit that's tailored to the athletes' bodies, which might be tighter and more structured to minimize drag and enhance movement. Due to the slim fit, it is recommended to order one size up what you would normally wear.

  • Detailing: Badges on fan version jerseys are heat transferred. This creates a more seamless look and is lighter weight for players on the field.

  • Price: $10 more expensive then the fan versions due to better quality materials.
