Men's Cleveland Cavaliers #23 Basketball Short Sleeve Jersey- 2008 Season
From the opening tip to the final buzzer, Cleveland Cavaliers colors carry the room. This Short Sleeve jersey is built for the pace of the modern game and the people who follow every possession. Cut for movement, styled for everything that happens after the final buzzer.
The Hardwood Classics Edition keeps things close to what the Cleveland Cavaliers faithful see on matchday, then makes it wearable every day. The result is a clean, recognizable version of the Cleveland Cavaliers uniform, finished for daily wear. A cold-water inside-out cycle is all it needs; skip the hot dryer and the graphics stay sharp. The Men's Short Sleeve shape is cut for airflow and movement rather than a tight silhouette.

WHAT MAKES IT WORK
- Moisture-managing fabric- elastic stretch performance mesh that keeps you comfortable through a full game.
- Made for the whole day- tailgate, stadium, and the walk home afterward.
- Easy care- cold wash, inside out, and it comes back looking the same.
- True-to-size fit- order your usual top size and it sits the way it should.
SUPPORTER-FIRST DESIGN
Think of it as the matchday look translated for real life: same visual identity, a short sleeve cut that behaves on the street, and finishing that survives repeat wear.
FABRIC & BREATHABILITY
Built from elastic stretch performance mesh, the kind of material that handles heat, movement, and a full day of wearing without losing its shape.
ATHLETIC CUT
A modern athletic shape: defined at the shoulder, relaxed through the body, and easy to layer when the temperature drops.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Denim, joggers, shorts- the short sleeve cut sits well with all of them, which is why it ends up in the weekly rotation rather than the back of the drawer.
HOW TO WEAR IT
The short sleeve cut is easy to style- clean denim and trainers for a stadium run, joggers for travel days, or a zip hoodie on top when the temperature drops.
BUILT TO LAST
Reinforced seams and colorfast graphics, so the Cleveland Cavaliers colors stay sharp season after season.
FIT NOTE
The short sleeve cut is relaxed by design. Check the size chart before ordering if you are between sizes.
WASH SMART
Cold water, inside out, with similar colors. That single habit does most of the work.
Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is the Cleveland Cavaliers short sleeve basketball jersey made from?▾
It is built from elastic stretch performance mesh, a moisture-managing knit that handles heat and movement while holding its shape through repeat cold-water washes.

Not if you wash cold and inside out. The colorfast finish is designed to keep the Cleveland Cavaliers palette looking the way it did on day one.
