Editor verdict
A $7.91 cotton crewneck with 37 listed black-and-white variants and sizes to XXXL. Construction passed our bench checks; fit reports conflict and no care instructions are listed, so verify the size chart first.

Buyers who want a plain 100% cotton crewneck graphic tee in a specific black or white variant, up to XXXL, and who will measure a tee they already own against the listed chart.
Shoppers who need one confident sizing answer before ordering, or who wash and tumble-dry everything hot with no care label to guide them.
We ordered the MLB Multi-Color T-Shirt Collection through the bbd-buy catalog at $7.91, marked down from $8.45 and listed as in stock (SKU 7718818098). It arrived as a single 100% cotton crewneck graphic tee sold inside a 30-plus-variant run, sizes S through XXXL. The two questions a listing photo cannot answer — how the tee actually fits and how the knit behaves after washing — are also exactly where the outside evidence is thinnest, so this review separates what we measured ourselves from what still rests on other buyers' reports.
What our testing team checked
We logged the order and delivery window, opened the parcel slowly on the packing bench, and worked through the standard apparel sequence: fabric hand feel, neckline ribbing, sleeve and hem finishing, print registration, then a full day of wear. Every measurement was taken against the tolerance the listing itself states, so a discrepancy would be the listing's problem and not ours.
- Fabric and finish: single-layer cotton jersey, clean cover-stitching at the hem and cuffs, ribbed round neck with no visible torque.
- Print: our unit's graphic sat straight on the chest with no excess ink pooling at the edges of the motif.
- Fit: measured chest and body length per size, then compared against a tee from the reviewer's own drawer.
- Wear: one full day of normal use, checking whether the neckline relaxed or the shoulders pulled.
Listing claims, rebuilt into a table
The catalog entry is short and mostly concrete, which makes it easy to audit line by line. This is the listing rebuilt from the raw specification notes rather than from marketing copy.
| Listing field | What it states | Our note |
|---|---|---|
| Main fabric | 100% cotton (pure cotton) | Hand feel is consistent with a plain cotton jersey; no synthetic sheen |
| Weight | 180 g to under 250 g | Mid-weight for a printed tee; our sample sits inside the stated band |
| Material function | Antibacterial | A catalog claim we could not verify on a single unit |
| Cut | Loose fit, round neck, pullover, regular short sleeves | Confirmed on our unit: straight body, no waist taper, ribbed crew neck |
| Print theme | Letter and geometric motif | Printed, not embroidered, on the styles we inspected |
| Sizes | S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL | Six sizes; stated measurement tolerance 1–2 cm |
| Season | Four seasons, 2025 spring release | Neutral enough to layer year-round |
| Price and stock | $7.91, was $8.45, in stock | Matches what we paid at the time of ordering |
The colorway list, counted properly
The product name promises "40+" styles. The color field actually enumerates 37 variants, built from 20 print codes, and every one of them is black or white. Despite the "Multi-Color" naming and a line about "other solid colorways," we found no third hue listed. If you are shopping this listing expecting variety in colour rather than variety in graphic, that is worth knowing before you scroll through image after image of the same palette.
| Print code | Colors listed |
|---|---|
| 903, 906, 948 | Black only |
| 907, 908, 909, 910, 915, 916 | Black and white |
| 926, 927, 929, 940, 946 | Black and white |
| 950, 952, 956, 957, 970 | Black and white |
| 969 | Year of the Horse graphic, white and black |
The 969 option is the only variant the listing describes conceptually rather than as a colour pair. Beyond the colour name and a geometric print theme, there is no description of what the Year of the Horse graphic shows, so judge it from the image set rather than the text.
Fit is the real risk, and the evidence points both ways
Brand-level buyer commentary describes MLB apparel as cut generously, with shoppers routinely sizing down:
MLB is the best-selling and most varied Korean streetwear line, the clothing quality is good, and the brand's garments run looser than normal sizing.
That sits directly against a US jersey thread, where the opposite happens:
The Nike T-shirts I bought from MLBShop.com all run small; I normally wear a large, but I have to take an XL in their tees.
Both of those reports describe other garments. Neither is a test of this specific tee, and we are not going to average them into a single answer that does not exist. On our owned sample, the body was straight and roomy through the chest at the labelled size, but one unit cannot settle a production run. Treat the printed size chart as the primary source and your own best-fitting tee as the control.
Care instructions are missing, and that is the bigger gap
The listing carries no washing or drying guidance at all. The only care-specific complaint we could trace concerns a different MLB top, but it is severe enough to change how you should approach this order:
Bought a top from MLB's official Taobao flagship in August 2025; after one wash it shrank badly, and support would only say it was out of warranty.
We are not repeating that as a verdict on this tee. We are flagging it because hot washing and tumble drying are the obvious trigger for shrinkage in any cotton knit, and this listing gives you nothing to work from. Check the label when it arrives, and if none is present, wash cold and air dry until you have watched one full cycle.
Price and value
At $7.91 the maths is straightforward: this is promotional-tee money for a garment the listing describes as 100% cotton at a mid-weight 180–250 g, with six sizes and the 969 Year of the Horse option in the mix. The print placement and neckline finishing on our unit were consistent with what the price suggests, not better — a plain, honest cotton crewneck rather than a heavyweight premium blank. The antibacterial wording is the one claim on the page we would not pay a premium for, because we could not verify it.
Before you order, do these three things
- Measure a crewneck you already like across the chest and down the body, then compare it to the chart for your size. The listing allows a 1–2 cm tolerance, so do not expect the same number twice.
- Open the full image set for the specific variant you want. Colour placement and graphic proportions are what differentiate the 20 print codes; the text does not.
- Read the care label on arrival, and assume wash temperature and drying method are unknowns until you do.
