FAQs

Is this top suitable for other sports besides football?

Yes, the moisture-wicking properties and comfortable fit make it suitable for tennis, running, gym class, and general outdoor play.

Can I tumble dry this shirt?

While it is machine washable, we recommend air drying to extend the life of the fabric and the printed graphics.

What is the material composition?

The top is made from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and sweat-management capabilities.

Does the fit run true to size?

Yes, it follows standard sizing for a regular fit, providing a balance between being too snug and too baggy.

Does it offer UV protection?

While the fabric provides a thin layer of coverage, it is not rated as specific sun-protective clothing.

Can the fabric be ironed?

Avoid ironing the top directly, as high heat can damage the synthetic polyester fibers. If wrinkles occur, a light steam session is safer.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after training

Ensure the top is not being worn under an non-breathable jacket which traps moisture inside.

Logo or design appearing worn

Always turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce friction against other items.

Persistent odor in fabric

Pre-soak the shirt in a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar to neutralize bacteria trapped in synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This top requires no setup—simply choose your preferred size for a comfortable fit. For compatibility, the neutral aesthetic pairs well with standard athletic shorts or track pants. To care for your Nike Academy Top, machine wash in cold water with like colors. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can degrade the wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Hang drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric and prevent unnecessary wear on the printed Swoosh logo.
