Our testing team ordered the MLB Multi-Color T-Shirt Collection tee (SKU 7718818098) through Litbuy AI, and it reached the desk on Nieuwe Binnenweg as a plain short-sleeve, round-neck pullover in a single poly bag. Everything was photographed before anything was worn. At the time of ordering the price was $7.91, reduced from an $8.45 original, and the SKU was listed as in stock. The catalog offers sizes S through XXXL in a printed letter or geometric motif.
Fabric, weight and finish
The listing names the main fabric as cotton and the material composition as 100% cotton, with a knit weight band of 180 g to under 250 g. That places it in mid-weight printed-tee territory rather than the paper-thin end of the market, and it matches how the shirt feels in the hand: a soft, slightly dry cotton with enough body to hold a printed panel without curling. The construction notes are plain — pullover, round neck, regular short sleeve, no hood, normal thickness, suitable for all seasons, aimed at a teenage and general casual audience.
One claim sits outside what we can check: the listing states an antibacterial material function. That is a catalog statement, not something our testing team can verify with a wash log and a tape measure, so we record it as claimed rather than confirmed. No care instructions appear in the listing at all, which becomes relevant further down.
Measurements and the sizing question
The listing allows a stated 1–2 cm measurement tolerance. We measured the shirt flat and compared chest, shoulder and body length with the published chart before the first wear; the garment sat inside that tolerance window. That settles the shirt in front of us, but it does not settle the brand's reputation, because the buyer evidence available points in two directions at once.
One buyer-facing account describes MLB clothing as generously cut compared with standard sizing, with shoppers often stepping down a size to compensate.
A separate thread on Nike-made MLB shirts reports the opposite experience: wearers who normally take an L needed an XL.
Neither report describes this specific SKU, and neither is a measurement of the shirt we received. The listed chart is published per size, so the practical move is to measure a tee you already like and compare it with that chart rather than trusting a brand-level rule.

Wash and wear after two 30 °C cycles
Apparel at this desk is washed twice at 30 °C before we write a second fit and finish note. The print stayed flat with no visible cracking or lifting at the edges, the neckline kept its shape, and the cotton lost a little of its initial crispness without becoming limp. Fit after washing was close to the pre-wash fit, which is more than we can say for every printed tee that passes through the studio. Three wear sessions indoors and outdoors produced normal creasing through the body and sleeves.
The one care flag on record concerns a different garment: a customer of the MLB official flagship store reported that a purchased MLB top shrank severely after a single wash and that service dismissed the complaint as out of warranty. We rate that evidence at moderate confidence, it is not this tee, and we cannot reproduce it here. Treat wash temperature and drying method as unknowns on arrival and read the label rather than assuming.
What the listing gets slightly wrong
The collection is titled 40+, but the color list in the source data enumerates 37 entries — an assortment dominated by black and white pairs, with single-color entries such as 948 black and the 969 Year of the Horse variants in white and black filling out the rest. Thirty-seven is still a wide assortment at this price, but if you are chasing a specific colorway, confirm it against the image set for that variant before ordering rather than assuming the headline number covers it.
Price and what it does not settle
At $7.91 before agent fees and international shipping, the shirt is priced like a disposable summer basic but arrives feeling closer to a mid-tier printed tee. What the price does not buy you is certainty: the size reports conflict, the antimicrobial claim is unverified, and there are no published washing instructions. Those are checkable risks. The collars, print and cotton hand were not.
