American Football
Varsity, chenille numerals and campus crests — never a licensed jersey.
Varsity, college, game-day Sunday: American football already carries a whole graphic language — oversized numerals, chenille lettering, conference crests. Pennants, embroidered initials, oversized numbers: the American college wardrobe has always been a generous graphic source, long before it was a branded one. This collection draws on it without ever reproducing an official crest: every number, every motto, every crest is an original Joueur de Paris composition, not a licensed jersey.
The result is as much American football t-shirt as campus poster, also available as a sweatshirt, a tank top, and a whole family of embroidered accessories — cap, beanie, bucket hat, jacket, polo — right down to a mug for the pre-game brunch table. Embroidery remains the only process that does justice to a chenille numeral: it dresses the cap, the beanie, the bucket hat, the jacket, the polo and some of the sweatshirts, while t-shirts and the rest of the sweatshirts stay printed for a clean flat finish. The colors themselves borrow the palette of collegiate lettering — burgundy, cream, bottle green — rather than that of any specific team. Enough to dress a game-day Sunday without ever putting on the jersey of a team you don't represent.

- Is this official NFL or college merchandise?
- No: not a single piece in this collection is a licensed product. Numerals, crests and mottos are original Joueur de Paris compositions, inspired by American collegiate aesthetics, never the reproduction of an existing team crest.
- Why are some pieces embroidered rather than printed?
- Because the chenille numeral, typical of American football, only does justice in relief: embroidery dresses the cap, the beanie, the bucket hat, the jacket, the polo and some of the sweatshirts here. The t-shirts, meanwhile, always stay printed, for a clean flat finish true to the original design.
- What size should I take for an American football t-shirt?
- The spirit stays collegiate and happily loose rather than fitted: the cut remains unisex, with full sizing details, from S to XXL, on each product page. The cap, beanie and bucket hat, meanwhile, come in one size. When in doubt between two sizes, sizing up is always recommended.
- A good gift idea for a game-day Sunday?
- A t-shirt, a sweatshirt, an embroidered accessory — cap, beanie, bucket hat, jacket, polo — or even the American football mug all work as a back-to-school or in-season gift, a piece with campus spirit, without forcing anyone to pick a specific team.
