JERSEY COLLAR TYPES: ROUND NECK VS POLO VS V-NECK — WHICH TO CHOOSE?

The collar might seem like a small detail, but it significantly affects how your jersey looks and feels. Different sports and different aesthetics call for different collar types. Here's your guide.

ROUND NECK (CREW NECK)

The most common and versatile collar type. A simple circular neckline that works for every sport. It's comfortable, easy to produce, and gives a casual, sporty look. Round necks work especially well for football, kabaddi, and athletics jerseys. They pair well with bold, modern designs.

POLO COLLAR

The polo collar adds a touch of formality and premium feel to any jersey. It's the most popular choice for cricket jerseys, giving that classic IPL look. Also great for corporate team jerseys and golf wear. The collar can be done in contrasting colors for visual interest — like a white collar on a navy jersey.

V-NECK

V-necks offer a sporty, dynamic look. They're popular in football and basketball. The V-shape creates a slimming visual effect and provides slightly more ventilation around the neck. V-necks look particularly good with designs that have central vertical elements.

CHINESE COLLAR (MANDARIN COLLAR)

A short, stand-up collar that gives a unique, premium look. Less common in sports jerseys but gaining popularity for its distinctive appearance. Works well for esports jerseys and athleisure wear where you want something different from the standard options.

WHICH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

For cricket: polo collar. For football: round neck or V-neck. For kabaddi: round neck. For basketball: round neck or V-neck. For corporate: polo collar. For esports: Chinese collar or round neck. When in doubt, round neck is the safe, versatile choice.
