Women's handball t-shirts and polos

For weekly sessions, the technical t-shirt often replaces the match kit: women's handball t-shirts and polos are used for training, warming up, and during travel, while the printed jersey stays in the bag.

P breathable polyester, cotton for everyday use, piqué fabric for the polo, tank top for preparation: each material has its moment.

Polyester or cotton: the sweat question

The polyester t-shirt wicks away sweat and dries between sessions: it's the foundation of a training outfit. Cotton is softer but soaks up water and sticks to the skin as soon as the effort increases. Save it for commutes and club life. Cotton and polyester blends work in both cases.

Polo: bench and travel attire

The polo, often made from piqué fabric, dresses the coach, the manager, or the team on the move. Its collar gives it a more polished look than a t-shirt, useful during a pre-match reception or a tournament. For the staff, choose a model from the same range as the jerseys: the colour will be identical.

Sleeveless top: physical prep and running

Sleeveless tops free up the shoulders and provide better ventilation than a t-shirt. The Adizero models from adidas, designed for running, are particularly lightweight. They are mainly used for physical preparation, cardio, and sessions in heated gyms.

Core 2.0: a t-shirt in all colours

The women's t-shirt Core 2.0 from Hummel comes in a wide range of colours: black and white, navy, blue, red, bright yellow, fir green, steel grey, and more unique combinations like acai and candy pink or sky blue and lemon yellow. The Evo from Errea is available in black, white, navy, blue, or red. These ranges allow a team to train in their colours.

Length, sleeves, neckline: the women's fit

A women's t-shirt is shorter and more fitted, with shorter sleeves than a unisex model. A V-neckline opens up the neck, while a round neckline remains more classic. For a polo, check the length: a unisex model that is too long won't tuck well into shorts and will fall on the hips.

A stack of t-shirts for the week

With team training, prep, and tournaments, a player wears a lot of t-shirts. Having several in polyester avoids leaving with a t-shirt still damp from the day before. A solid colour common to the team makes training opposition easier, with bibs over the top.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a jersey and a handball t-shirt?

The jersey is the match piece, numbered and in the team's colours. The technical t-shirt is for training and warming up, made of the same breathable material. It helps save the printed jersey from unnecessary washes.

Can a polo be worn for sports?

It's designed more for the bench, staff, and travel than for exertion. A polyester polo can handle a light session, but a cotton polo much less so. For playing, stick with a technical t-shirt.

How do you remove odours from a technical t-shirt?

Wash it quickly after the session, inside out and without fabric softener, which traps odours. Soaking it in water mixed with white vinegar before washing helps greatly. Let it air dry, never rolled up in the bag.

Should you take a size up for a women's t-shirt?

No, if you want a technical t-shirt close to the body that wicks sweat better. Yes, if you're wearing it over another layer or for a loose fit. Always compare the length to the size chart.
