PRO1 Collar
The PRO1 Collar is our original performance collar. It has a modern mandarin-style shape with a zip front, giving the shirt a sleek, professional tournament look.
This collar sits higher around the neckline and creates a sharp, athletic finish. It is ideal for players who want a premium pro-style appearance.
Best for:
Players who like a fitted, professional collar with a modern stand-up shape.
PRO2 Collar
The PRO2 Collar is our newest collar option. It is based on the PRO1 mandarin-style collar but has an improved curved-down front opening.
This curve helps reduce irritation at the front of the neck, especially when playing for longer periods. It still keeps the premium pro look but offers a more comfortable feel around the throat area.
Best for:
Players who like the PRO1 look but want extra comfort and less irritation at the front of the neck.
Polo Zip Collar
The Polo Zip Collar gives your shirt a more traditional sports polo look, but with the added modern finish of a zip.
It has a fold-over collar and a zip front, making it a popular choice for academies, teams and players who want a smart but familiar collar style.
Best for:
Teams and players who want a classic polo style with a modern zip finish.
Polo Button Collar
The Polo Button Collar is the most traditional option. It has a fold-over polo collar with buttons at the front.
This is a great choice for clubs, academies and players who prefer a classic sports shirt appearance.
Best for:
Players who prefer a traditional buttoned polo shirt style.
| Preference | Recommended Collar |
|---|---|
| Most modern/professional look | PRO1 |
| Most comfortable pro-style collar | PRO2 |
| Traditional polo look with zip | Polo Zip |
| Classic buttoned polo style | Polo Button |
| Less irritation at the front of the neck | PRO2 |
| Smart academy/teamwear style | Polo Zip or Polo Button |
Our Recommendation
For most new custom shirts, we recommend the PRO2 Collar. It keeps the premium, modern look of the PRO1 collar but adds extra comfort with the curved-down front opening.
For academies and clubs wanting a more traditional look, the Polo Zip Collar is also a strong choice.
