Jacksonville Jaguars Vintage Arch Throwback Teal T-shirt by Nike

Jaguars T-Shirts Guide: Vintage, Throwback and Game-Day Tees (2026)

Quick answer: A vintage Jacksonville Jaguars shirt today usually means one of three things: a licensed throwback tee with the 1995–2012 Prowler logo (Nike's Vintage Arch tee, '47's Prowler Regional tee, Mitchell & Ness vintage-logo pieces), a retro-cut tee from a heritage brand like Starter, or an actual 1990s shirt from the secondhand market. We stock the first two at the store in Jacksonville Beach. This guide covers which to pick, how each one fits, and the everyday Jaguars tees worth owning alongside them.

What counts as a vintage Jaguars shirt?

People who type vintage Jacksonville Jaguars shirt into a search bar are usually looking for the logo, not the age. The leaping jaguar, the one everybody calls the Prowler, was the team's primary mark from the first season in 1995 until 2012, and that is the look most fans mean when they say vintage. There are three ways to get it on a t-shirt:

  • A licensed throwback tee. Nike, '47 Brand and Mitchell & Ness all make new shirts with the Prowler or the 1990s wordmark. Same logo, new cotton, proper sizing, officially licensed by the NFL. This is what we stock.
  • A retro-cut tee from a heritage brand. Starter and Mitchell & Ness cut their shirts the way shirts were cut in the 1990s, boxier and heavier, even when the graphic is current.
  • An actual 1990s shirt. Secondhand only. The ones in good shape are rare, the sizing is unpredictable, and a lot of what is sold as vintage online was never licensed in the first place.

We are a licensed-only store, so everything below is new product from the first two groups. If you want the secondhand hunt, that is a different hobby and we will not pretend otherwise.

How a throwback tee should fit

The brand decides the fit, not the graphic, and the differences are big enough to matter when you are buying online.

  • '47 Brand (Franklin, Regional, Foundation): soft, mid-weight cotton, relaxed through the body, the shirt you reach for on a Saturday. Between sizes, go up.
  • Nike cotton tees: a touch slimmer in the chest and shoulders than '47, true to Nike's usual sizing. If you wear a Nike Dri-FIT in large, the Vintage Arch tee in large will fit the same.
  • Starter: boxy and heavier, the 1990s silhouette on purpose. Buy your normal size; sizing down makes it look like a modern slim tee, which defeats the point.
  • Mitchell & Ness slub tees: lightweight, loose drape, a thinner fabric than the others. Good in heat, less structure.

One practical note for the Beaches: most of these are 100 percent cotton, and cotton holds sweat. If you are walking from a Bay Street lot to the stadium in September, the white '47 Prowler tee or a lighter-weight tee will be more comfortable than a black one, and a Dri-FIT tee more comfortable than either.

Everyday Jaguars tees: what actually sells

Throwbacks are the search term, but on a normal week the tees that leave the store are the current-logo '47 Brand shirts. These are the ones we restock most often.

Player tees: a name and number without the jersey

A Nike game t-shirt jersey is the lighter way to wear a player. It is a cotton tee printed like the jersey, with the name and number on the back, and on a 90-degree afternoon a lot of fans prefer it to the real thing.

Roster tees change when rosters change. We only put current Jaguars on this list, and we pull a player's shirt the week he leaves.

Women's and kids' Jaguars tees

The women's wall is mostly '47 Brand, cut for women rather than sized down from men's, and the kids' wall is Nike and Outerstuff.

Which Jaguars tee should you buy?

  • You searched for vintage: the Nike Vintage Arch tee in teal, or the '47 Prowler Regional in white if you will wear it outdoors in the heat.
  • You want the 1990s cut, not just the logo: either Starter tee.
  • You want the one everybody in Duval owns: the '47 Duuuval tee.
  • You want a player: the Travis Hunter game t-shirt jersey.
  • You are buying for a kid: the Nike youth wordmark tee, or the youth Old Jag Head tee if the size is right.

Every Jaguars tee we carry is in the Jacksonville Jaguars t-shirts collection; the Jaguars t-shirts page sorts them by brand, and the hats and jerseys to go with them are one click away from either. If the Prowler is what brought you here, the Prowler throwback jerseys guide covers the jersey side of the same era.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy a vintage Jacksonville Jaguars shirt?

For a new, officially licensed throwback, the Nike Vintage Arch tee and the '47 Prowler Regional tee are on the rack at Sports Mania in Jacksonville Beach and on sportsmaniausa.com. For an original 1990s shirt you are in secondhand territory (estate sales, resale apps), where sizing and condition are a gamble and nothing is guaranteed licensed.

What is the old Jaguars logo called?

The leaping jaguar used from the team's first season in 1995 through 2012 is known as the Prowler. The current logo, the jaguar head with the teal tongue, replaced it in 2013. When a shirt says vintage or throwback, it is almost always the Prowler.

Do the Jaguars still use the Prowler logo?

Yes, as a throwback. The team brought the Prowler back in 2024 on a throwback alternate uniform, which is why Nike, '47 and Mitchell & Ness are making new Prowler tees and jerseys again instead of leaving it to the secondhand market.

How do Jaguars t-shirts fit?

It depends on the brand more than the design. '47 Brand Franklin and Foundation tees are a soft mid-weight cotton with a relaxed cut; Nike cotton tees run a touch slimmer; Starter tees are boxy in the retro way; Mitchell & Ness slub tees are lightweight and drape loose. If you are between sizes on a '47 tee, most people take the larger one.

What Jaguars shirt is best for the heat?

For a September game at the stadium, a lightweight cotton or tri-blend tee in a light color beats a heavy black one, and a Nike Dri-FIT tee beats both if you are standing in the sun all afternoon. The '47 Regional Foundation tee in khaki and the Nike Vintage Arch tee in teal are the two we hand people most when they ask.
