Have you ever felt like football gear doesn't look quite right on you? Like you're wearing a tent instead of a team shirt? Like the fit doesn't, well, fit? Well, Fulham have listened to our feedback and have got your back (literally) this season with their new women's fit shirts. Every shirt in this season's range is available in both 'men's' and 'women's fits. Fulham Lillies board member Rachel Stevens-Hall explains why this addition to the merchandise range is a significant step forward for female fans.
What's the deal with women's fit, and why should we care?
If you've ever thrown on a regular football shirt, you might have noticed something. They're typically designed for a male body—broad shoulders, straight torso, and not exactly what you'd call 'flattering' for many of us. It's like they were made with the idea that one size fits all, except that's not how bodies work.
Introducing the women's fit, also known as curved fit, or as I like to call it, the "Finally, they get it!" fit. These shirts are designed with a woman's body in mind, providing a comfortable and confident fit. They're tapered at the waist and hips, a bit shorter in the body, with narrower shoulders and sleeves that actually make sense. It's not just about looking good (though that's a nice bonus); it's about feeling comfortable and confident while cheering on your team.
How does this help you when buying a Fulham shirt?
It means you have the freedom to choose what makes you feel most comfortable and confident. It's all about options and empowerment!
- If you're into a looser, more relaxed vibe, stick with the straight, men's fit shirt.
- But if you prefer something more tailored and form-fitting, the curved women's fit is where it's at.
This is a significant step towards inclusivity, making us feel like we all truly belong in the football community: It helps if you don't have to choose between supporting your team and feeling good in what you're wearing.
So Fulham's move to include more women's fit shirts is a win for all of us who love the game and want to feel like we're part of the team - because we are.
