The t-shirts from the brand Erima

Erima, over a century of sportswear

The story of Erima begins in 1900 in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, when Remigius Wehrstein opens a factory for gymnastics, athletics, and fencing clothing. Taken over in 1936 by Erich Mak, the company adopted a name derived from its owner's name, ERIMA, standing for ERIch MAk, in the early 1950s. Based in Pfullingen, near Stuttgart, the brand specializes in teamwear: outfits designed to equip entire teams, available in many colours and built to last. Its t-shirts are a prime example, blending sturdiness with Germanic simplicity.

Training t-shirt or club t-shirt: two uses for Erima

The training t-shirt Erima is made of polyester, a fabric that wicks moisture and dries quickly, making it ideal for sessions from warm-ups to passing drills. The cotton t-shirt or the cotton-polyester blend is more suitable for club life: worn by coaches, volunteers during a tournament, or as a common t-shirt for travel. In either case, the brand focuses on bold team colours that easily match a club's colours, and on materials that are well-suited for printing a logo or number.

Size guide for Erima: small or large?

Erima follows a fairly standard German sizing that is similar to French sizes: you generally keep your usual size. The training models are fitted to avoid hindering movement; someone with a broader build may need to size up. Children's sizes are expressed in centimeters, from 116 to 164, which corresponds to the child's height: you choose the size that fits them, allowing a bit of room for growth. For care, washing at 30 degrees, inside out, and without fabric softener helps preserve the polyester properties and the durability of the print.

Frequently asked questions

Erima, which sport is this brand for?

The brand mainly equips team sports, especially handball, very popular in Germany, but also volleyball, basketball, and rugby. Its t-shirts can also be found in athletics clubs and gyms.

Can an entire team be outfitted in Erima t-shirts?

This is the brand's purpose: its ranges of teamwear are designed to be available for a long time, allowing for orders to be completed when a player joins mid-year, with the same model and colour.

Does a polyester t-shirt need ironing?

It's best to avoid it: polyester dries almost wrinkle-free if laid flat right after washing. If necessary, set the iron to the lowest temperature and never iron directly on a print, as it may melt.

How to customize a club t-shirt?

Heat transfer printing is suitable for numbers and initials, screen printing for large logo series, and embroidery for badges. On a technical t-shirt made from polyester, a soft transfer that moves with you should be prioritized to avoid cracking.

Why choose a teamwear t-shirt over a fashion t-shirt?

The teamwear t-shirt is designed for performance and frequent washing: technical fabric, strong seams, and colours that last. The fashion t-shirt prioritizes cut and feel but wears out faster when washed after every session.
