Basketball adidas clothing

The club jerseys with three stripes

The heart of basketball in textiles adidas lies in the jerseys of European clubs. Paris Basketball and Asvel each have their home, away, and sometimes Euroleague kits, with children’s versions available. Real Madrid and Panathinaikos complete the list, featuring their match jerseys and shorts.

These are supporter versions, designed to be worn in the stands or at the playground. For a licensed child, their favourite club's jersey is often the first kit they ask for.

Shorts and socks for playing

For playing, adidas offers loose-fitting shorts and socks designed for the court. The Crazy Lite and AE socks rise above the ankle and protect the skin from rubbing against the shoe. Club shorts and knitted pants are useful for warming up and for after training sessions.

Adizero, Adi365, Climacool: understanding the range names

The range names indicate the purpose of the clothing. Adizero refers to lightweight pieces made for quick running or warming up. Adi365 covers everyday training clothes from all days, and the Climacool label indicates a ventilated fabric that wicks away heat.

The Iconic jackets and down jackets complete this section, useful for trips to the gym when it's cold.

Essentials and three stripes for the rest of the week

Off the court, the Essentials line provides sweatshirts, joggers, and hooded jackets with three stripes on the sleeve. Simple cuts, cotton, and fleece: these are the basics we keep for the weekend. The Adilette slides, listed on the same page, round off the post-match outfit.

The page also overflows with items outside of basketball, featuring running gear, yoga pieces, and Formula 1 team t-shirts: use the sport filter to stick to the essentials.

New Era, Hummel, Joma, Under Armour: comparison

Other brands on the Brands page cater to similar needs. The New Era textiles appeal to fans of American leagues, with franchise sweatshirts and NFL jerseys. On the club side, Hummel and Joma dress entire teams, from basketball to handball. Finally, Under Armour focuses on technical fabrics that dry quickly during activity.

Getting a club jersey for less

Club jerseys change with each new kit, and older models go on sale. During the Black Friday, the selection of Black Friday textiles gathers promotional clothes. After that comes Christmas textiles for gifts, followed by the sales. End-of-line items, often in isolated sizes, remain on the clearance page.

Frequently asked questions

Can you personalise a Paris Basketball or Asvel jersey?

Personalisation depends on the model: check the product page to see if there’s an option for a name and number. Without the option, the jersey is delivered blank, allowing the freedom to have it personalised elsewhere. A blank jersey also looks great as is.

Do adidas jerseys fit small?

Club jerseys from adidas generally follow standard European sizes, with a straight cut. If you're between sizes or wearing it over a t-shirt, go for the larger size. The size guide on each product page provides chest measurements.

What's the difference between a home jersey and an away jersey?

The only change is in the colours: the home jersey features the club's main colour, while the away jersey uses a contrasting shade. The cut and material remain the same. For a fan, the home jersey is usually the most recognisable option.

How do you wash an adidas basketball jersey without damaging the logos?

Turn it inside out, set the machine to a low-temperature wash, and skip the fabric softener, which can clog the technical fabric's fibres. No tumble drying or ironing on the heat-sealed logos. Air drying is sufficient, as the fabric dries quickly.

Are there adidas clothes for babies?

Yes, part of the page is designed for little ones: sets, sweatshirts, and cotton pants. The age filter allows you to isolate them. For a rapidly growing baby, a larger size lasts longer.
