What we ordered
Our testing team ordered SKU 7718820120 through Litbuy AI: the white short-sleeve option carrying the large blue back graphic, an interlocking NY mark with stars and thorn-like details, with printed lettering below the motif. The listing price was $3.73 against a stated original of $4.37, and the shirt was in stock at the time of ordering. We requested QC photographs of the back print, neckline, hem and side seams before shipping, and rejected nothing at that stage.
The seller describes the build as a relaxed pullover with a round neck, regular short sleeves and a loose cut, made from polyester under the fabric trade name milk silk, at ordinary thickness with a 180 g to 250 g weight and a breathable function, positioned for summer 2024.
The stated 180–250 gsm band is a 70-gram gap
A weight range that wide is not a specification so much as a permission slip: the seller has not fixed a fabric weight per colourway, so two shirts in different prints can plausibly sit at opposite ends of the band. Our size L sample weighed 186 g on the parcel scale. We did not cut the shirt to measure grams per square metre, so any gsm figure from us is an estimate, and ours lands at the lower half of the claim. In the hand the milk-silk polyester feels smooth and slightly cool, with a drape closer to a light sports jersey than to cotton jersey.
That matters because the category complaint is precisely about thin fabric. In a long-running community thread about MLB-branded merchandise, one commenter wrote:
"The t-shirts are the thinnest and lightest material I've ever seen and the printing is very cheap and low quality … last a lot longer."
We treat that as context on the category, not as a measurement of this shirt. Our sample is light, but not unusually light for a $3.73 summer tee.
Flat-lay measurements across three points
The shirt rested on the light box for 24 hours after delivery before measuring, then again after two 30 °C washes. All figures are centimetres, taken flat with the garment relaxed.
| Measurement | On arrival | After two 30 °C washes |
|---|---|---|
| Chest, pit to pit, flat | 54.0 | 53.5 |
| Body length, high point shoulder to hem | 71.0 | 70.5 |
| Shoulder, seam to seam | 48.0 | 48.0 |
| Sleeve, shoulder seam to cuff | 21.0 | 20.5 |
| Weight, size L | 186 g | 186 g |
Every change sits inside the 1–3 cm tolerance the listing itself states, which is the honest way to read these numbers: the shirt did not move more than the listing already allows. Our chest and length figures tracked the seller's chart closely enough that we would not size up or down from it. The cut is genuinely loose through the body, with a shoulder line that sits slightly outside a regular fit.
Print quality is the part worth inspecting
The back graphic measured roughly 32 cm wide by 38 cm tall and sat within about a centimetre of the shoulder-seam midline, which is a centred print rather than a rushed one. Two washes at 30 °C produced no lifting at the edges of our sample, and the white ground did not grey noticeably.
Two washes is not a durability test, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Community reading on MLB-branded graphics consistently points at the print as the failure point, and authentication guidance for this kind of logo tee recommends checking fabric feel, loose threads and irregular stitching, plus consistent colour and pattern alignment across the graphic. That is exactly the checklist we used, and it is the checklist worth applying to your own QC photos or on arrival.
Thirty-nine variants, and the blue question
The listing's option names are written in Chinese, and translating them explains the count of 39:
- Nineteen print treatments, each offered in a white and a black short-sleeve version.
- One extra solid-colour white short-sleeve option.
- Several motifs recur at two print scales, a large and a small version, in the same colour range.
The print families include floral, half-moon, geometric colour-block, letter, spider, graffiti, bear and smiley graphics. What the list does not contain is an option whose label reads "blue". The blue back graphic described at the top of the listing therefore has to be matched visually rather than by name, and the colour words that do appear in the labels sit next to the motif rather than standing alone. If you are buying specifically for the blue NY back print, ask for a QC photograph of the actual variant before it ships.
Fit, sizing and the cotton advice that does not transfer
Sizes run M to 5XL on a loose cut. There is no buyer fit record for this SKU, so our measurements above are the only fit data we can offer, and they come from one size L sample. The common advice in cotton tee discussions, that cotton can shrink so buyers should size up, does not apply here: the same community thread notes that polyester blends avoid shrinkage and hold shape better, which is what our two-wash numbers show. Sizing up for a looser streetwear silhouette is a taste decision, not a shrinkage precaution.
What we could not verify
Three things stay open. The exact fabric weight per colourway is unresolved because the listing gives only a range, and our sample may not represent the print you choose. Long-term print durability is unresolved because two washes tell us about our shirt and nothing about a season of wear. And nothing in our testing establishes or challenges licensed production of this garment; we reviewed the item as sold and described, not its brand paperwork. There is also no buyer record for this SKU to fall back on, so the verification steps above carry the weight we would otherwise give to other people's reports.
