Russell Athletic Men's Basic Cotton T-Shirts - Soft Breathable Crew Neck Tees for Casual Wear, Gym & Everyday Comfort | Pack of 3

Here is what differentiates these t-shirts from most others in terms of fit:If you lay nike or UA t-shirts flat, the sleeves angle down. This fits well and looks good during normal wear when your arms are down by your side. But for athletic activities where you raise your arms, the entire t-shirt will ride up. If you lay out the Russell t-shirts, the sleeves are closer to 90 degrees with the body, making more of a "T". So during normal wear, the material will be a little bunched up under the arms, and maybe less comfortable. But during athletic activities where you raise your arms, these become more comfortable and fit better. So basically, although Nike and UA are supposed to be more hard-core athletic wear, for basic all cotton shirts, these are more comfortable for athletic activities, while the others are more comfortable as a daily wear.As far as durability, I have a bunch of these shirts (i have the dark colored all-cotton shirts) that I wear for basketball and working out that are now over 2 years old. That is over 100 wash cycles. The color is fading a bit, but they are as strong and durable as the day I bought them. They would be my preferred t-shirts at twice the price, but for their actual price, they are a steal.
