Under Armour Men's UA Tech 2.0 Short Sleeve Shirt 1326413 Carbon Heather

I left this review as average because it really only pertains to one color variation of this shirt. Otherwise I would have rated higher. I was a fan of this style shirt, and still am for the most part, but I recently purchased another of these shirts in Carbon Heather color. This specific shirt for whatever reason was a different material than all the others I have purchased previously. It felt a majority like cotton whereas the others felt more polyester/synthetic. This caused it to shrink in the wash, as well as cling to fuzz far more than the others. I wish there was a more clear description to let me know this shirt was so drastically different.

Come on UA, you had the perfect shirt with the original tech. Why would you guys go and do this? First off, the material. It's thinner than the original tech t's. I can see my tattoos through lighter colored shirts, and when I get into sunlight, my nipples are solidly visible. Ain't nobody want to see that! It always leads to awkward stares and then I have to explain the bicycle/nipple accident of 1996. Then the fit. I am by no means fat. I'm 5'9 and 180lbs of mostly muscle. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week, run everyday, and eat clean. But somehow these shirts make me look like a middle aged guy with a dad bod who gave up, bought a minivan, and carries a pained, almost dead look in his eyes while remembering his youth while stuffing himself into a tshirt that fits like a sausage casing and heading out to mow the lawn. The fit in the mid section is weird. The old techs were great. They were loose and comfy. They draped nicely down from the pecs. They didn't scream, "look at my finely chiseled body mortals!". They were just an awesome t-shirt. These look like someone bought a normal t-shirt one size too small. Sizing up doesn't work because then the shoulder proportions are out, and with the extra length it looks like I should be sagging my pants and wearing a slightly crooked flat brimmed hat and white framed sunglasses I got free in a case of energy drinks. Can we talk about the fabric again? I'm pretty sure if it got any thinner, it would be classified as mesh. Whomever is working there and thought messing with the original tech (one of the staples of your brand) would be a good idea should be walked out of the building into traffic.
