| Athletics Cropped Fleece Sweatshirt Slightly Cropped Oversized Fit: Choose this if you want a slightly cropped, oversized fleece crewneck: it has a soft jersey face with a fleece underside, made of 80 percent cotton and 20 percent recycled polyester, with dropped shoulders, ribbed trims, and embroidered chest and silkscreened sleeve logos. It sits above the hips as worn, so it suits wearers who like a shorter, boxy silhouette, and note the Grey colorway is offered in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE only. The rib trims contain elastane for stretch, while the main fabric has none.[1,2] | Wavy Logo Sweatshirt: Choose this if you want a relaxed-fit crewneck in soft midweight French terry, made of 60% cotton and 40% recycled polyester with stretch ribbed edging at the collar, cuffs, and hem. It suits those drawn to a graphic-forward look, with a white arched NEW BALANCE wordmark on the chest and a large wavy white print, script line, and NB logo on the back of the navy version shown. It is listed in sizes small through extra-large, though the listing does not indicate current availability by size.[3,4,5] | Wavy Logo Sweatshirt: Choose this if you prefer a soft, midweight feel from midweight French terry fabric. This relaxed fit features crew neck styling and printed graphics across both the front and back. The ribbing is constructed from a blend that includes three percent spandex for enhanced stretch.[6,7,8] |
