Three Versions, Three Ways to Show Your Support
On Magic Shirt, Fan, Player, and Retro identify different jersey styles in the catalog. They do not automatically indicate different fabric compositions. Product pages reviewed list polyester; always check the composition and care details on the page for the specific jersey.
Fan: a style connected to supporting your club and wearing its colors in everyday life. Compare the design, details, and product information before choosing. The version name does not replace the published size or composition details.
Player: some listings identify a Player version and describe a professional-inspired finish. That label helps distinguish the model being presented, but it does not confirm that its construction, fit, or technology is identical to a jersey worn on the field. Check the details for each item.
Retro: points to a jersey associated with an earlier season or a classic look. For example, the Porto 97/99 Home Retro listing highlights its blue-and-white pattern and historical inspiration. The main choice is the look you want; fabric composition remains the information shown on the product page.
Does the fabric matter? Yes, especially when you want to understand composition and care. The jerseys reviewed list 100% polyester. Polyester is a synthetic fiber used in sportswear; feel, texture, and performance can vary with the knit and finish. Two jerseys do not necessarily feel the same just because they share a fiber.
How to choose: start with the style and team, confirm the size, and read the composition, description, and washing instructions. If you are deciding between Fan, Player, and Retro, compare the photos and details on each product page. That lets you choose using the information available for the actual item.
