Men's Tees
Serve Up Your Best in Wilson Men's T-Shirts
Your next tennis tee should feel as good during a long rally as it does after the final point. Wilson men's t-shirts are made for both, pairing performance fabrics and comfortable fits with tennis-inspired style you can wear all day.
As the world's No. 1 tennis brand, we bring over a century of sporting expertise to every men's tee in our collection. You'll find technical tees for competitive matches, breathable textured knits for all-day comfort and cotton classics for downtime. It doesn't matter if you're new to the sport, chasing your next club win or shopping for someone who lives for tennis, there's a Wilson tee to suit your plans.
Match Day. Any Day.
Your tennis plans don't always end at match point. That's why we design our tees for serious court time and everything that follows.
Performance Tees That Keep Up With Your Game
Performance tees are the workhorses of the range. Their quick-drying fabric and an athletic cut keep you dry and free to move through every drill, set and gym session.
These tees also hold their own during gym sessions and training days. Choose a short-sleeve tee with breathable panels for high-intensity workouts, or go for classic crew-neck T-shirts with technical fabrics for everyday training.
Textured Knits That Play It Smart
Who says performance can't look polished? Our textured knit tees look like a smart top and play like training gear. Breathable knit structures let air circulate as you play, while subtle textures give your tee a smarter appearance. It's the kind of top that looks right at home during a competitive doubles match and lunch at the clubhouse afterwards.
Cotton Classics With Tennis in Their DNA
Court time isn't limited to the hours you spend playing. Cotton tees bring a little sporting nostalgia to your downtime with heritage-inspired details, classic Wilson branding and easygoing cuts. A classic tee keeps things simple with a familiar fit and soft feel. Prefer a little more personality? Go for graphic tees and bring court-inspired character to your look, even if your only appointment today is coffee.
Room to Swing
A good tennis tee gives your shoulders room for a full serve and sits close enough at the body that it won’t billow in a crosswind. Finding that balance starts with the right fit.
Check these before you buy:
- In a regular fit, the shoulder seam should sit near the edge of your shoulder. Lift your arms as if you're serving. If the fabric pulls across your upper back, you need more room.
- Twist your torso as you would for a forehand or backhand. A slim fit sits closer to your chest, while an athletic cut gives you more freedom to rotate.
- Extend your hitting arm and then reach overhead. Your sleeves shouldn't pinch your biceps or catch when you swing.
- The hem should cover your waist without bunching around your hips during quick footwork.
Our performance tees use an athletic fit. It sits between a slim fit, which can pull across your back as you serve, and a regular fit, which leaves more room through the body. Compared with the boxy cut of a football jersey, an athletic fit follows your frame and keeps fabric out of your swing path.
For practice days or time away from court, choose a relaxed fit if you want more room through the body. If you’re going for an oversized tee look, pay attention to the shoulder width and hem length before going up a size.
We size men’s tops by chest measurement. So, start by measuring the fullest part of your chest and match it to our size guide. A medium, for example, fits a 97 to 99cm chest. Between sizes? Stay true to size for match play, or size up for a looser feel.
Cool Under Pressure
Leave the thrills to the tiebreak. Your tee should help you concentrate on the next ball.
That’s why we build our performance tees in quick-drying technical fabrics that handle sweat well before cotton can, so you stay cool across long baseline rallies. Cotton stays in the range for off-court tees, where softness counts for more than sweat management.
You’ll notice the difference in the third set. The fabric's stretch lets the tee follow a full swing and spring back into shape between points. Side seams sit forward, out of your arm’s path, while flat seams lie smooth on your skin to cut chafing over a long session.
Some styles add ventilation panels, anti-odour finishes and built-in UV protection for extended time outdoors. Textured knits offer another approach to airflow through their breathable fabric structures.
Off-court tees use 100% cotton or a cotton blend with Tencel and stretch. Both feel soft against the skin and hold their shape wash after wash.
Off the Court, Still in Play
You might spend two hours on court, but your tennis kit can work for the rest of your day, too. A few good tees and the right supporting gear will cover plenty of ground.
For match day, pair a performance tee with tennis shorts and proper court shoes. You'll have the freedom to split step, slide and recover without restrictive clothing.
After your match, a textured knit works well with chinos for a clubhouse lunch. If you’re heading to the Australian Open, a cotton graphic t-shirt with denim keeps things casual while showing your love for the sport.
Colour also makes it easy to rotate your tennis kit. A black t-shirt works with light or dark shorts. A white t-shirt gives you that classic tennis look, especially with navy bottoms. So keep a few basic tees in your regular training rotation, then add brighter colours for a change.
For early morning sessions, layer a jacket or vest over your tee instead of reaching for a long-sleeve tee. A zip comes off easily after the warm-up, which beats peeling off a sweaty long-sleeve t-shirt mid-session.
Born on Court
We've been part of sport since 1914. Tennis has taught us plenty in that time, especially about what players need from their equipment and apparel.
It starts with understanding movement. Your body rotates through a serve, stretches for a wide volley and changes direction in an instant. Our mens shirts considers those movements through carefully selected fabrics, fits and seam placement.
And our approach goes beyond one type of tee. We've developed performance staples for regular training, technical knits that combine ventilation with a smarter appearance and cotton heritage styles for the hours around tennis.
Our connection to the game runs deep. We’ve been the official ball of the US Open since 1976 and is an official partner of Roland-Garros. That history gives us a strong foundation for developing tennis equipment and apparel.
We’re also the only brand to offer a full Tennis 360 kit. Our men’s clothing is designed to pair seamlessly with a Wilson racket, shoes, socks and bag, head to toe to hand.
Your Serve
Your next rally deserves a tee that moves with you. Get the fit right, choose a fabric that suits your game and put your attention where it belongs.

FAQs
How do I wash a Wilson performance tee so it lasts?
Wash your tee inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, and skip the fabric softener because it coats technical fibres and slows drying. Line dry in the shade instead of tumble drying, since high heat can wear down stretch fibres over time. Check the care label on your tee for any specific instructions.
Can I wear a t-shirt instead of a polo shirt at my tennis club?
Usually, yes. Plenty of clubs accept a clean, well-fitted tennis tee for social play, while some still ask for polo shirts or other collared men’s shirts at pennant matches and club events. Check your club’s dress code before match day, and keep a Wilson polo in your bag for the days that call for a collar.
Can I wear Wilson tennis tees to the gym?
Yes. Wilson performance tees use quick-drying, stretchy fabric that feels as comfortable at the gym as it does on the court. Anti-odour finishes keep the tee fresh when you train straight after work, and the athletic fit stays close to your body on lifts and stretches without restricting your movement.
Will a cotton t-shirt shrink in the wash?
A 100% cotton t-shirt can shrink slightly, mostly in hot water or a hot dryer. To keep your fit, wash cotton graphic tees in cold water, turn them inside out to protect the print and dry them on a line. A cotton blend with stretch fibres holds its shape better than pure cotton.
