Off Season Fanwear: What I'd Actually Buy

Off Season Fanwear: What I'd Actually Buy

Off Season is the Los Angeles fanwear label Kristin Juszczyk and Emma Grede launched in 2025, built from Kristin's custom game-day designs. I like it for team gear that looks like clothes first.

Fanwear that looks like clothes

What first caught my eye about Off Season is how easily it moves between fan identity and clothes I would wear outside a stadium. Kristin Juszczyk and Emma Grede launched the brand in January 2025, after Kristin's custom game-day pieces gave team gear a distinctly fashion-minded point of view. It started with licensed NFL outerwear and a very DIY spirit, which is a charming place for a brand to begin.

 

In 2026 came Mainline, the first permanent collection, a move from licensed collaborations toward an identity of its own. I like that tension: a team graphic can be part of the look without being the whole look. That is why the mix works, with logo-forward pieces next to staples whose appeal is shape, color and proportion.

 

I would shop Off Season by asking what I would wear on a Tuesday, then decide whether a team reference feels natural. The clothes should stay in rotation long after the final whistle.

Tops with a point of view

The tops show both sides of the pitch. The Bralette, Collared Bodysuit, Corset Top and Layered Tank Top are clean starting points when I want an outfit to read sporty without leaning on a jersey. The Golden State Valkyries Unisex Boxy Top, Indiana Fever Unisex Boxy Top and New York Liberty Unisex Boxy Top put team loyalty front and center, and the Femme Zip Up Hoodie is the relaxed layer. Picture her meeting friends for a late brunch in the Layered Tank Top, then switching into the Liberty top when game time arrives.

 

My rule is to choose the level of fan signal in advance. A team graphic should be the focal point, not something to repeat on a cap, a bag and shoes. I would also check the fit notes on the boxy tops before choosing a size.

Track pieces for real life

Bottoms are where I see the sporty instinct become real-life dressing. The Layered Wide Pant and Track Pant are two takes on a track silhouette, and the Femme Short is lighter for warm days. The Color Blocked Skort brings a playful break of color without forcing the whole outfit into team logos.

 

In my fashion dreams, she wears the Layered Wide Pant with a close-fitting top and a loose jacket on a travel day, then keeps the same outfit for a quick coffee near the arena. I would start with the temperature and how much moving the day needs, then let the waistline decide whether the top should be tucked, cropped or loose.

Where the line gets interesting

These are the pieces that give a team reference more ways to be worn than a standard jersey and pant pairing. The Women's Cream Pepsi Cola V-Neck Jersey and Women's F1 Black Racer Jersey are two very different starting points, and the fleece shrug camis, halter tops and cropped mesh V-necks make the outfit more about styling a graphic than matching a uniform. I would reach for the Women's White San Francisco 49ers Micro Rib Tank Top or the Women's White Chicago Bears Micro Rib Tank Top with the Women's Black San Francisco 49ers Colorblocked Fleece Pants on a lower-key day.

 

When I want a looser top line, I would switch to the Women's Scarlet San Francisco 49ers Lace-Back V-Neck T-Shirt or the Women's Gray Los Angeles Dodgers Rugby T-Shirt. The Women's Navy New York Yankees Lightweight Full-Zip Track Jacket and Women's Blue New York Knicks Cropped Track Jacket add a light outer layer, and the mock neck and open-knit sweatshirts feel like a different answer to the same game-day question.

 

I would pick colors deliberately: the scarlet 49ers pieces read together, while a cream jersey or white halter has room to sit beside denim or a plain skirt. My tip is to let one logo be the focus and keep the rest quiet. What I would skip is a jersey, jacket and pants in competing team colors all at once, since the outfit loses its shape under that much noise. With halters, off-shoulder tops and lace-back tees in the mix, this feels like a real closet, so I would choose by the plans around the game, not only by the team name.

For days beyond game day

Off Season makes the most sense to me when sportswear follows you into ordinary plans, not only the stands. I would start with a shape I already wear, then decide whether a league or team detail adds something personal. The logo-forward tops are for the fan who wants her loyalty easy to read, and the plainer pieces work when the day asks for less. I would skip buying something just because a team drop is limited. Choose the piece you can see yourself reaching for on a non-game day too. Although I admit a good Liberty top might break that rule.
