Two Howlers tees, two very different print personalities
The Hill City Howlers catalog offers two graphic tees that look similar at a glance but deliver different visual experiences: the Women's 108 Stitches Blue Split Screen Tee and the Adult Flo Blue Pigment Dyed Maskem Tee. One uses a bold split-screen graphic; the other relies on a pigment-dyed finish that gives each shirt a unique, lived-in look. Neither is 'better'—they simply serve different style goals and fit preferences.
This comparison sticks to what the catalog actually confirms. Where a detail isn't supplied—like exact fabric weight or care instructions—we'll say so rather than guess. That way you can choose based on real differences, not assumptions.
What 'pigment dyed' means for the Flo Blue tee
Pigment dyeing is a coloring process that produces a soft, slightly faded appearance from the start. The catalog describes the Flo Blue Pigment Dyed Maskem Tee as having a 'unique, lived-in look'—meaning no two shirts are exactly alike in tone. If you want a graphic tee that feels broken-in and casual right out of the box, this is the one.
Keep in mind that 'pigment dyed' is not the same as 'screen printed.' The catalog does not specify the print method for the Maskem graphic, so we can't say whether it's screen printed, heat transferred, or something else. What we do know: the overall garment is pigment dyed, which affects the base color, not necessarily the graphic itself.

What 'split screen' means for the Women's 108 Stitches tee
The Women's 108 Stitches Blue Split Screen Tee features a 'bold blue split-screen graphic that celebrates your team pride.' Split-screen design typically divides the graphic into distinct panels or color blocks—though the catalog doesn't detail the exact layout, the description makes clear the print is a focal point, not a subtle accent.
Unlike the pigment-dyed tee, this shirt is not described as having a faded or lived-in finish. The graphic is meant to be bold and readable. The catalog also confirms it's officially licensed Hill City Howlers apparel from the 108 Stitches brand, which matters if authenticity is a priority.

Print look and fade: what to expect over time
The catalog doesn't provide care instructions or fade timelines for either tee, so we can't promise how they'll age. But the starting point differs: the pigment-dyed tee begins with a faded, uneven look by design, while the split-screen tee starts with a bold, solid graphic. If you prefer a tee that looks intentionally worn from day one, pigment dye is the match. If you want maximum contrast and graphic impact, the split-screen style is the safer bet.
- Pigment dyed (Flo Blue): Starts with a unique, lived-in appearance. The catalog does not specify how the color will change with washing, so treat any fade as part of the intended aesthetic rather than a defect.
- Split screen (Women's 108 Stitches): Starts with a bold blue graphic. No fade information is supplied; follow the care label when you receive it to preserve the print.
Fit and sizing: women's cut vs. unisex S–M
The most concrete difference is sizing. The Women's 108 Stitches tee comes in women's sizes S through 2XL, cut for a women's fit. The Flo Blue pigment dyed tee is men's/unisex and only offered in S and M. If you wear a larger size or prefer a women's-specific cut, the split-screen tee is the practical choice. If you're within S–M and like a unisex fit, the pigment-dyed tee is an option—but check the size chart carefully, as unisex sizing typically runs differently from women's.
- Women's split screen tee: Sizes S–2XL in a women's fit. Choose your usual women's size for a personalized fit, per the catalog.
- Flo Blue pigment dyed tee: Sizes S and M only, men's/unisex. If you normally wear a women's medium, a unisex small might be closer—but confirm with the size chart.
Which tee fits your fan wardrobe?
Choose the Flo Blue Pigment Dyed Maskem Tee if you want a relaxed, vintage-inspired look that feels casual and unique. It's a good pick for everyday wear when you want team spirit without a loud graphic. Just be aware the size range is limited to S and M.
Choose the Women's 108 Stitches Blue Split Screen Tee if you want a bold, clearly branded game-day tee with a women's-specific fit and a wider size range (S–2XL). It's also the better choice if official licensing is important to you.
Neither shirt comes with care instructions in the catalog, so when yours arrives, check the label inside the garment for washing guidance. That's the most reliable way to keep either print looking its best.
