Men's handball T-shirts and polos
On tournament day, the staff can be identified by their polos and the players by their warm-up t-shirts: men's handball t-shirts and polos give the club its look off the pitch.
Technical t-shirts for training sessions, cotton for everyday wear, polos for the bench and travelling: chosen based on who is wearing them and when.
Core Poly and Evo: the training session t-shirt
The Core Poly t-shirt from Hummel, made of polyester, comes in white, black, navy, grey, blue, red, lime green, yellow or orange. The Evo from Errea follows the same pattern in black, white, navy, blue and red. These technical t-shirts dry quickly and withstand repeated washes: they are the most worn items during a week of training.
Staff polo: the collar that makes a difference
The polo outfits the coach, assistant, physiotherapist, and officials. Made from pique or polyester, it maintains a smart look on the bench and during post-match receptions. For a staff, choose the same range as the players: the colours will match and the team photo will be cohesive.
adi365 and Climacool: the adidas t-shirts
The adi365 t-shirts and jerseys from adidas, including Climacool versions, focus on ventilation during intense sessions. The French national team's t-shirts, in pink or blue, complete the outfit of Blue supporters, both in the stands and while travelling.
Cotton for everyday, polyester for effort
Cotton remains comfortable for a club t-shirt worn at school or work. During exercise, it soaks up sweat and weighs the player down. Polyester, being lighter, is suitable for training and tournaments where you play multiple times a day. Blends of fibres work for both situations.
Bulk t-shirts for groups
T-shirts sold in bulk, like the Boost Hero from Macron, allow you to equip a training group at a lower cost. For a camp or tournament, a solid colour t-shirt makes it easier for coaches to count their players.
Blaze 26 Pro and Legacy: t-shirts that coordinate
The Blaze 26 Pro t-shirt from Hummel, available in navy, light grey or navy and red, matches the Blaze Pro shorts and trousers. The more casual Legacy line can be worn off the pitch. Building a training outfit from a single range avoids colour mismatches between items.

Frequently asked questions
Polo or t-shirt for a coach?
The polo gives a smarter look on match day and for receptions. The t-shirt is more practical during sessions when the coach participates in exercises. Many coaches have both from the same range.
What size technical t-shirt should I take?
Your usual size for a fitted t-shirt that wicks sweat better. One size up if you're wearing it over a base layer. Check the length on the brand's size chart.
Does a sports t-shirt have to be fitted?
Not necessarily, but a fitted t-shirt wicks sweat better and doesn’t get caught on the arms while shooting. A loose t-shirt is comfortable for warming up and club life. The choice depends on your position and habits.
How to prevent odors in a technical t-shirt?
Wash it quickly after the session, inside out, without fabric softener which traps odors. Soaking in white vinegar before washing helps a lot. Let it air dry, never rolled up at the bottom of the bag.
Can you print a logo on a club polo?
Yes, a plain polo can easily be embroidered or printed, on the chest or the back. Embroidery holds well on pique fabric. Plan for the marking before ordering all sizes.
