Great Lakes Loons Shirts vs. Shirts and Tops: What to Buy

Loons shirts and tops split into two real categories: everyday tees and layer-ready long sleeves or hoodies. Here's how to pick based on fabric, fit, and weather.
Quick answer
The difference between Loons tees and tops comes down to fabric weight and layering, not just the label. Choose a cotton-blend tee like the 108 Stitches Postcard Tee for warm-weather, single-layer wear, and a long sleeve or fleece hoodie when you need warmth or a layer under a jacket. If you want one do-it-all piece for a Michigan season, start with a long sleeve and add a tee for summer.
How the two categories actually differ
In this store, T-Shirt covers short-sleeve tees, while Shirts and Apparel & Accessories cover long sleeves and hoodies. That split matters because the fabric blends are built for different jobs: the Bimm Ridder Green "Dive In" Tee is a 60% cotton, 40% polyester youth tee, the 108 Stitches Postcard Tee is a 50% poly, 25% cotton, 25% rayon adult tee, and the Boxercraft Script Pom Pom Long sleeve is 100% cotton. The Under Armour Grey Fleece Hoodie is a fleece layer with the club home mark. Read the blend before you buy, because it predicts how the shirt feels and how it holds up.
Fit and sizing across Loons tees and tops
Sizing is listed by option type, so check the size selector on each product page rather than assuming a single Loons fit. Youth options appear on the "Dive In" Tee and the Under Armour hoodie, while the 108 Stitches Postcard Tee and the Boxercraft long sleeve are sized for adults and women respectively. If you are between sizes in a 100% cotton long sleeve, remember cotton has little stretch; a poly-blend tee will give slightly more. Order your usual size first and size up only if you want a looser, layer-friendly fit.
Matching the top to the weather and the outing
Dow Diamond evenings cool down fast, so a short-sleeve tee alone often is not enough by the late innings. A long sleeve like the Boxercraft Script Pom Pom handles a cooler night at the ballpark or an evening around the fire, and the Under Armour fleece hoodie adds real warmth for young fans. For a Northern Diver Sunday at Dow Diamond, the "Dive In" Tee is the on-theme pick. The 108 Stitches Postcard Tee works as a novelty shirt for out-of-town visitors who want to show off a trip to Dow Diamond.
Trade-offs to weigh before you buy
- Tee: breathable but single-season: A poly-blend tee like the 108 Stitches Postcard Tee is light and easy for summer, but it will not keep you warm once the sun drops at Dow Diamond. Buy a tee if most of your Loons wear happens in warm weather.
- Long sleeve: versatile but less casual: The 100% cotton Boxercraft long sleeve covers cooler nights and doubles as a layer, but it is a heavier, more deliberate look than a tee. Choose a long sleeve if you want one top to carry you from spring through fall.
- Hoodie: warmest but the biggest commitment: The Under Armour fleece hoodie is the warmest option and works as outerwear, but it is a youth style and costs more than the tees. Pick the hoodie for a young fan who needs real warmth, not just team spirit.
