You don't need another plain tee. You need a go-to. A favorite. A shirt that feels like (almost) nothing – but holds up to just about anything.

That's what the NOBULL tees and tanks were made for. And now, they're better than ever.

We talked to the product team behind the refresh to get the real story. What changed? What stayed the same? Why TENCEL™ (and what is it, anyway)? And why does this collection still crush the competition five years later? Let's break it down.

Why fix what isn't broken?

Truth is, the original collection has been a hit from day one.

"These shirts have been our bread and butter," says Roberto, NOBULL Senior Apparel Designer. "The men's tee especially – it's lightweight, crazy comfortable, and it just works. We've seen it thrive for five years, so we didn't mess with the fabric. But the fit is where we got to work."

Turns out, people wanted just a little more room to breathe – without losing that athletic silhouette. So we went to work. The updated men's fit is a little more relaxed, a little more versatile. It still moves like a gym tee, but looks better just about everywhere else too.

"We wanted to make the perfect gym tee," adds Abby, NOBULL Senior Apparel Designer. "Not too tight, not baggy, but the perfect happy medium."

As for the women's lineup, the team went trend-spotting where it counts: the gym. "We know women like a little more variety in their rotation, so we started doing some scouting and paid attention to what we were really seeing out in the wild," Abby says. "That's how we landed on new silhouettes like the Fitted Tee and Fitted Tank."

"These two additions might just be my new favorites," she adds. "The fabric's a dream, but the new shapes really bring it to life."

What's the deal with TENCEL™?

If you've never trained in TENCEL™, you're missing out.

It's one of those rare natural fabrics that feels soft like cotton, but performs closer to a high-tech synthetic. And when it's blended right – like our mix of TENCEL™, polyester, and Spandex – it becomes the kind of material you don't want to take off.

"It's lightweight, breathable, and it dries fast," Abby says. "We tested a bunch of other options for this relaunch, even tried thicker, weightier versions. But nothing beat the original blend."

Roberto agrees. "It's been around for a while, but there's a reason for that. TENCEL™ is naturally breathable and has a cooling effect that cotton just can't match. And the touch of Spandex helps it stretch and move with you."

It's performance without the plasticky feel. A fabric that breathes, bends, and stays out of your way while you put in work.

Gym-tested. Life-approved.

Every tee and tank in this collection is built for sweat – and built to last. Whether you're grinding through HYROX, pushing pace in CrossFit training, or logging long sessions in the gym, these are your go-to's. Lightweight and breathable with a fit that moves with you. It's everything you want in a gym tee. And it's why these are some of the best shirts for hybrid training and everyday performance.

"We tested this stuff in every climate and every kind of workout," Roberto says. "Still nothing beats it in terms of comfort, versatility, and durability. You'll grab it for the gym, and if you're like me, you'll end up living in it, too."

But performance is just part of the story. In true NOBULL fashion, this collection doesn't just show up to train. It shows up to make a statement.

"Look, there's a lot out there that'll do just fine in the gym," says Carolin, NOBULL Apparel Merchandiser. "We're not pretending like we invented the athletic tee. But there's only one way to rep NOBULL while you're getting after it – and that's these tees."

Bold branding. Zero apologies. Just NOBULL, loud and proud.

How the fits and styles stack up.

Let's see what's actually in the lineup. What got a refresh. And what's brand f'n new.

For Men:

• Men's Tee (updated fit)
• Men's Tank (updated fit)
• Men's Long-Sleeve Tee (updated fit)

"You're getting a slightly more modern shape," Roberto says. "Still athletic, but a little roomier in the chest, while we tightened up the length, the neck, and the sleeves to avoid the worn-out gym shirt look."

His favorite? The Men's Tee in Camo. "I wear it constantly. Keeps my rotation fresh and goes with everything without being boring and same-y."

For Women:

• Women's Tee (updated fit)
• Women's Boxy Tee (updated look)
• Women's Long-Sleeve Tee (updated fit)
• Women's High-Neck Tank (updated fit)
• Women's Muscle Tank (updated fit)
• NEW: Women's Fitted Tee
• NEW: Women's Fitted Tank

"Our goal was to refresh the styles we love (where needed) and then land some new ones that are more trend-forward but still totally functional," Abby says. "The Fitted Tank especially – it's flattering and a little croppy, but 100% ready for the work."

Carolin's pick is the new Fitted Tee in Heather Grey. "It just goes with everything but never gets boring. Easy to throw on with leggings or jeans, so I'm sold!"

And Abby's go-to? "The Fitted Tank, for sure. But if I'm being honest, my favorite color hasn't launched yet... so you're just going to have to stay tuned."

What's coming next?

This drop is just the beginning. "We're building a baseline with this launch," Carolin says. "But there's so much more to come – new colors, new prints, new ways to show up for the crew."

The goal? Keep evolving, while staying true to what makes NOBULL gear great: real performance, real versatility, and real community connection.

"We're not stopping here," Roberto says. "The tees and tanks are the staple, but the fun's just getting started. The NOBULL community is always growing and super diverse, so we want to find ways for everyone to rep it, their way."
