'maglia' was 't-shirt' before and now it is just shirt which was meant to be camicia. Why the change?

Maglia can be used as a catchall to denote any knitted piece of clothing such as a sweater, pullover or jumper, though maglione would be the more common or precise term for these items (or in the case of a cardigan - amazingly enough - un cardigan). Un vistito di maglia is a knitted dress.
Maglia is specifically used in reference to sports shirts or jerseys.
A t-shirt is maglietta, while an undershirt is una maglietta intima.
