The Akron Zips fan look has not needed reinventing, and neither has the reason fans buy it: Blackout across the shoulders.
Shoulders are set for movement rather than for the mannequin. The name and number are heat-sealed rather than printed on top.
The design follows the Akron Zips fan look — team colours, Blackout name and number on the back, and the same silhouette worn in the stands. It ships with the name and number already applied — nothing to iron or assemble on arrival. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, and it is ready to wear again the next morning.
It reads as Akron Zips gear anywhere, on game day or off.
Specifications
| Material | Breathable Athletic Mesh (100% Performance Polyester) |
| Lettering | Durable Heat-Sealed Lettering & Numbers |
| Care | Machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low |
How It Fits
US youth sizing (youth S–XL). The cut is relaxed rather than slim, so there is room to move and room to grow. The usual letter size is the right starting point.
Care Guide
Machine wash cold inside out with a mild detergent, then tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener and high heat, and do not iron directly over the lettering.

Frequently asked questions
What if the jersey does not fit when it arrives?
You are covered by our 30-day hassle-free guarantee with zero restocking fees. If the fit is not ideal, contact our support team and your first size exchange is completely free.
Is there room for a hoodie under this Akron Zips jersey for late-season games?
Yes. The relaxed chest and shoulder cut leaves room for a hoodie or thermal layer without pulling at the seams.
Can I wear it to class as well as to the game?
Yes — the cut and colours read as everyday campus fan wear, not costume.
How do I wash an Akron Zips jersey without damaging the numbers?
Turn it inside out, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener and high heat — those are the two things that lift heat-sealed lettering over time.
