The verdict

An easy yes as a cheap everyday kids' tee; buy for the price, not the tech.

Fit

Rival kids' tees usually cut straight and true to size; check the size chart against height rather than age for growing kids.

Quality

Expect a basic cotton-blend graphic tee typical of the brand's sportstyle kids' range, fine for school and play but not a performance piece.

Price check

Under 16 dollars is budget tier for a branded kids' tee and reasonable for the wear it will get.

Best for

Parents restocking everyday play and school tees for a girl who likes the shimmer graphic.

Care

Wash inside out on cold to keep the shimmer graphic from cracking.

True to size

Under Armour's everyday lines fit true to size with a deliberately roomy, athletic-loose cut rather than a tailored one.

Owner reviews of the core Rival Fleece hoodies and joggers repeatedly land on "true to size," with the cut described as loose and comfortable rather than baggy — several hoodie owners say to size down only if they want a trimmer fit. Sizing guides likewise report the brand fits true to your usual size once you pick the right cut, since Under Armour labels pieces by cut (loose vs. fitted vs. compression) and the fitted and compression styles are intentionally much snugger than the casual gear. Reviewers note the tees and tops run long and boxy rather than fitted, and a minority of jogger buyers found the slimmer athletic cuts snug enough to size up.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size in the casual fleece, tees, and joggers — size down only if you want a closer fit in the roomy cuts, and expect the fitted/compression-labeled styles to run much snugger by design.

What owners report about Under Armour t-shirts

Under Armour's Tech t-shirt line uses lightweight 100% polyester with overlock-stitched seams. Reviewers who wash-and-wear test it report the fabric holds up well over repeated washes, staying breathable without losing shape. The recurring complaint isn't failure but comfort: the overlock seams can feel abrasive on high-mileage runs, and odor control is described as good but not excellent after multiple wears. Fit runs on the loose, relaxed side, boxy rather than tailored, enough that some owners size down from their usual size for a closer cut.

Strengths: Reviewers consistently note the fabric holds up wash after wash without breaking down, staying breathable and lightweight through repeated wear.
Watch out for: The recurring complaint is the overlock-stitched seams, which some runners find abrasive on longer, high-mileage outings, plus odor control that testers rate good but not excellent.
Sizing: The line runs loose and boxy rather than fitted; some owners size down from their usual size for a closer fit.
