Your club also does volleyball, handball, or rugby, and you're looking for a brand that outfits all the sections? The textile Errea comes from here: Italian teamwear designed for teams, featuring a basketball line of reversible vests and shorts, as well as tracksuits, polos, and training bibs.
Errea is an Italian brand based near Parma, specializing in club outfits. It dresses football, volley, rugby, and basketball teams, as seen on this page: most of the clothing is multi-sport, and the filter by sport helps with sorting.
For basketball, Errea has named its models after American cities. The Chicago tank top is reversible, perfect for training, for both adults and children. The California tank top is the single-sided version, matching with the Portland and Larry shorts.
For women, the Becky, Magic, and Rachele models have a tailored fit. The Elevate jersey and the Wing Double complete the selection.
The tracksuit jacket is the piece that brings a club together on the move, and several Errea models are available in women's fit. The Christopher, Erick, Matt, and Elton models, the latter also available in children's sizes, dress the bench and bus journeys. The Diana and Fuji jackets, warmer options, are for outdoor use.
A club doesn't just survive on jerseys. Training bibs, like the Alison model, are used to form teams during practice. Polos dress coaches and officials, and the Comfort socks complete the outfit. The New Skin shorts and the Evo or Skarlet jerseys remain multi-sport training wear.
For comparison, several brands on the Brands page also offer team gear. The hmlCORE XK line from Hummel aims for basketball with a reversible jersey. At Joma, the Kansas set serves the same purpose. The balloon brand Spalding also has its basketball outfits, while Macron, another Italian brand, dresses many clubs.
Club outfits are often ordered in bulk, and every discount matters. The end of the year starts with Black Friday and its Black Friday textile selection, followed by Christmas textile. The sales follow, and the deals page gathers the current discounts for the rest of the year.
A sleeveless polyester tank top fits both sports. The difference is mainly in the cut: a basketball jersey is looser and longer. For training, a volley tank will do; for a match, go for a model from the basketball line.
Junior sizes from Errea are chosen by age, with a size chart in centimeters on each product page. A quickly growing child can opt for the next age up, especially for a loose tank. For shorts, the waist size is more important than age.
Yes, as long as the same dominant colour and a legible number are kept. Many clubs team a tank from one model with shorts from another. Make sure the shades carry the same name on the product pages.
It is worn over the jersey to quickly form two teams. Light and loose, it doesn't restrict movement. It's a cheaper alternative to a reversible jersey for a large group.
Zip up the jacket before washing so that it doesn't snag the fabric. Wash inside out at a low temperature, without fabric softener. Avoid the tumble dryer, which can damage the bands and logos.
