Star Wars compression T-shirt: Use the Force

Under Armour offers film related base layers

If you’re getting caught up in the whole Star Wars hype at the moment and you feel the need to express it through the medium of a compression base layer, JD Sports stocks these Under Armour Star Wars options. Presumably, the Force will be with you… always.

These are made from lightweight fabrics with 4-way stretch and they’re said to be fast drying. 

They’re both from the dark side, though. There’s a white stormtrooper one and a black Darth Vader one. Yoda version there is not (sorry, but it’s a journalist’s duty to stick in torturous quotes and/or references when mentioning Star Wars; it's what they teach us at college).

Right, that’s enough of that nonsense. They’re 45 quid a pop. www.jdsports.co.uk

These are more for the gym than riding, can see some of them soon in gym selfies.

Like the x-wing pilot jersey though.

I like the way they are subtley named to avoid direct Star Wars references.....

I'd take any one of these though.  If it's star wars, it's good!

I wonder if there's something, somewhere, in a galaxy far, far away that hasn't been branded to co-inside with Star Wars...

The result of the successful merger of the merchandising company called Lucasfilm with the merchandising company called Disney.

I hear they make films as a sideline too.
