This sale brings together sweatshirts from well-known brands at reduced prices: hoodie Oakley, half-zip Fred Perry embroidered with the laurel crown, Nike Sportswear Club Fleece in brushed fleece, Jack & Jones Corp Logo hoodie available in large sizes, not to mention styles for women and children. Everything you need to stay warm in the stands during winter matches.
Warm and at a reduced price.
The hooded sweatshirt is still the most protective: lined hood, kangaroo pocket and drawstring, just like the Oakley model, a Californian brand founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard, or the Nike Sportswear Club Fleece. The half-zip sweatshirt from Fred Perry features a high collar that fastens up to the chin or opens at the chest depending on the temperature, with the laurel crown embroidered, the brand’s emblem since 1952. The crew neck, with no fastening or hood, offers the most understated silhouette; the adidas Essentials sweatshirt, marked with the three stripes on the sleeves, gives a sporty version.

The warmth of a sweatshirt primarily comes from the reverse side of its knit. The brushed fleece, brushed to form a light fluff, traps air and is suitable for winter evenings: it’s the basis of the Nike Sportswear Club Fleece, made from a cotton-polyester blend. The loopback, which has small visible loops on the reverse, breathes more and is usually worn in mid-season. The weight, expressed in grams per square metre, adds to the information: a lightweight sweatshirt is around 250 grams, a heavy model often exceeds 350 and better retains its shape through washes. The hooded sweatshirt from Helly Hansen focuses on the softness of cotton, signed by a Norwegian brand founded in 1877.
A sweatshirt should be worn in your usual size for a straight cut, one size up for a looser fit. The Jack & Jones Corp Logo hooded sweatshirt, from the Danish brand established in 1990, comes in plus size, an advantage for larger builds who struggle to find a sweatshirt wide enough at the shoulders. The women's models, like those by Moss Copenhagen or Nike Sportswear Air, follow a feminine fit, narrower at the shoulders. For children, the hooded sweatshirts from Guess Core in fleece and Desigual Miky Rock should be chosen with a bit of room to last longer. During the sales, measuring a sweatshirt that fits well and comparing its dimensions to the brand's guide helps avoid returns.
Good deals can also be found in good deals, clearance, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections. The year’s key events follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back-to-school.
Turn it inside out before washing at thirty degrees, with similar materials, and avoid the tumble dryer. Pilling comes from the friction of short fibres: a lint remover restores the fleece to its original appearance.
A pure cotton sweatshirt can lose a bit of length during a first hot wash. A cotton-polyester blend remains more stable: washed at thirty degrees and dried flat, it retains its dimensions.
The full zip, like on the adidas Z.N.E. hooded sweatshirt, opens and closes without needing to take off the garment when the temperature changes during the match. The pullover model, with no fastening, better protects the chest from the wind.
The sweatshirt is cut from a cotton or blended knit, often brushed on the inside, with ribbed cuffs. The jumper is knitted, made from wool or cotton, with a more open knit and a warmer feel.
The European standard EN 14682 prohibits drawstrings at the hoods and collars of clothing intended for children under seven years, to avoid any risk of snagging. Hoods of these sizes are therefore often without ties.
