Short or Long Sleeve?

[Aaron Aven]

Hi guys!

Gonna be soon buying my 'Nike' ref kit, and I was wondering, shall I go for short sleeve or long sleeve? Anyone have a preference? Does the long sleeve get tight?

Thanks!

Short for me! Just in case we actually get nice weather during tournament season! With long sleeve you can get too warm i have heard.

I have short sleeve shirts and a long sleeve undertop, so if it is cold I put the long sleeve on under my shirt, that way you can be flexible. You can't really be flexible with long sleeve shirt, unless you roll them up.

 

[Josh]

unless you roll them up.

I guess that could make you look unprofessional?

Possibly so, which is why I have short sleeve - although just personal preference!

The skin is a good idea actually! It really is just down to what suits you best.

For a slim lad like me the nike top isn't tight at all, I've got long sleeves and think it's very comfy

I wear short sleeve ref jerseys but have short/long sleeve, black under armour tops ( in both cold and heat Gear)

Under armour gear is fantastic.

It is good - I like it! I only do it when cold, but doesn't look bad - just like when players wear a skin under their shirts but it's all the same colour

I think you guys have swayed me towards short sleeved top with long sleeved thermal skins...

+1 for Under Armour. Sooooo good. Don't have the heat gear but the cold gear, and it works a treat, never cold whatever the weather if I've got my long sleeve UA on!

 

[SM]

The heat gear is immense. Can't recommend their kit enough. Really good and sturdy (3 seasons and counting for some of my tops)

 

[Josh]

Might need some of that heat gear! How much?

I don't think short sleeve with long sleeve skin tops look as proffesional, all down to personal opinion though

I have to disagree, I think it looks more professional than rolled up long sleeves

Just wear long sleeves as they are, the nike top is thin so no need to roll the sleeves up

I wear short sleeve 90% of the time, only exception is when it is that cold or raining that heavily that It would effect my performance as I would be so cold, I find short sleeve so much more comfortable so makes sense to buy short sleeve and buy a long sleeve under armour

short sleeves for hard northerners
long sleeves for southern softies

as a lancastrian living in sussex, i have both

Don't worry @haywain I know it wasn't you that brought this back from the dead
