 Sport Shirt Round-up 2009-08-09 I hadn't thought of doing this but when I think about it for a while I realized I do wear a lot of sports shirts and I do have fairly strong opinions on them and have ended up talking to people about these things so it made sense to summarize here: Nike: I figured I would get the bad ones out of the way first. Nike sports shirts tend to be heavy duty, last forever and get itchy as hell. The collar is always the culprit for me, but after a while the whole shirt doesn't feel that good. Adidas: These are my favorites, Adidas tends to do a lot of things right. If I could go back in time and buy the same shirts I had bought before I would buy dozens. They are light, the more you wash them the softer they get. The best shirts have the insignia stitched into the shirt in the same color. They did away with labels in the collar that always itch like hell. The more I wear these shirts the more I like them. I bought a new one recently and was a little dismayed that the material felt different, not a silky, but that might be because its new. UnderArmour: These are the most popular shirts with the other guys in my Judo club in Japan. I got one because just feeling the material made me think of some of my oldest adidas shirts. I bought the XL size and these shirts are designed to be skin tight. I didn't realize at first or I wouldn't have bought it to be honest. I'm not body conscious but I wouldn't wear this as anything but an undershirt or while wearing something else. Either that or I have to get some pec implants. Ignio: I think this is a really small Japanese company. I bought a hat from them and was really happy with the almost complete lack of logo. Their sport shirts are dirt cheap, so its hard to complain but they hit a really nice average for these sorts of things. Champion: I love Champion sweaters and track suits. Its too bad their sports shirts are some of the hottest I have worn. If you are looking to sweat these do the job well but I am usually looking for something to keep me cooler and something I won't notice while I work out. I notice these all the time when I am wearing them. I was going to post links to the company stores but they are all super flash heavy and my laptop doesn't like that so much. This post is filed under Judo becuase its the only reason I wear sports clothes. search tags: sports shirts nike adidas champion review add comment to post #255 Pat frm the past:Hey, you're RSS feed is FUBAR. Just saying. Peter:Can you be more descriptive, because I get it fine. What reader do you use and what is wrong with it? It would help a lot if I got details, I might be able to fix it. Thanks. Pat from the Past:When I go to http://www.ninjalicker.com/NLrss.php in my browser (Firefox 3.5), I only get the last two article, and when I reload, they disapear and don't reapear until I restart the browser. I'm using the live bookmark feature of Firefox to load the feed. Pat from the Past:I think I figured out the issue. Desktop Customization / Skype & Google <-- this title. XML doesn't like special characters like ampersands, quotes, less than and greater than signs out in the open. It should be & (or & if the first attempt looks just like a normal ampersand) Pat from the past:I think you wrote the back end for this site yourself right? Try running the titles through htmlentities(); Peter:Thanks for looking into that. I wrote everything (codewise) on the site myself and while I had your comment in the back of my head I have been too busy to actually sit down and try and figure it out. I tried to make the RSS feed create itself dynamically out of the database, which seemed easy enough until I tried it. Overall its been working but feedback like this will make sure it works for more people more often. I grant you this pencil lead with +1 intelligence.
