ya i figured. i did figure out that the basic universal tee is not the classic 50/50 blend, its the heavy 100% cotton. dunno how that fits in comparison. the 50/50, which is used in the animal iconic tees, offer that awesome feel and drape. the strongarm tee has the 50/50 but idk how i feel about the tee having black sleeves and white torso yet. im thinking of ordering the strongarm tee, and a black universal tee...any thoughts?

They do fit a bit different, but its nothing too major. I do like the Strong Arm .. thats a bad ass T, or the Ringer, cool and retro as well.

my main concern with the strongarm is the different colored sleeves. how does it look on?

I like the look of the Strongarm. As TTL stated, its very retro/old school. The sleeves are a bit tighter/longer than the other T-shirts (at least, that's how it fits on me). So I typically don't work out in that particular shirt, but I definitely rock it on all other occasions.

The Strongarm T may quite possibly be my fav Universal Nutrition t-shirt... Nuff said.
What I am waiting for more than anything else is new Universal Gear, not Animal Gear. It is coming.

So as you can see I picked up the black universal shirt. I love it. Its got the red universal logo on the back with '77 on it. Good quality shirt, durable, etc.
So two things. First: The label says to wash it inside out. I suggest you try this. I did not, and not the white universal letters have chipped off. I allowed it to air dry after that.
Second: the fit. It fits exact in my opinion. I wear a large in my animal shirts, which although they are a little long on me, the fit up top in the shoulder area is good. In the universal shirt, I bought the XL and it is pretty big. I fit ok in it, but a large would prob be best.
Hope that helps someone. I plan on getting either the white one or yellow next.

got my shirts i ordered and realized why i made this thread in the first place. the universal strongarm tee is not the same brand and has a completely different fit. dont like it at all, wish they used the gildan ultra blend shirts for these because i love the style, but jerzees shirts fit me like crap. dont understand why they used jerzee shirts instead of gildan like every other universal/animal shirt...
