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

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.

I was a HUGE fan of the heavier, softer charged cotton t-shirt (not the lighter/newer version of that shirt but the thicker version). That shirt fit great and I have many of them. Then UA “improved” that shirt (lighter version) and I was no longer impressed. Now UA tried to get fancy and did away with that shirt all together and I have been looking for a good replacement for the original charged cotton shirt for quite some time. This shirt is not it. I will keep looking.
