One of the most common questions we get at 96 Jersey Supply is: what size NFL jersey should I order? Buying a jersey online can be tricky, especially when you cannot try it on first. The good news is that once you understand how NFL jersey sizing works, you can order with confidence every time.
NFL Jersey Fit: The Basics
NFL jerseys are designed to have a slightly relaxed fit. They are not skin-tight like a compression shirt, but they should not be baggy either. Most players wear jerseys over shoulder pads on the field, so the authentic versions have extra room in the shoulders and chest. Replica and fan jerseys are cut a bit closer for everyday wear.
If you prefer a more fitted look, you can consider sizing down. If you like to layer your jersey over hoodies or t-shirts, sticking with your usual size or sizing up is the way to go. Browse our full range of cheap NFL jerseys and find your perfect match.
How to Measure Yourself
The most accurate way to find your size is to measure yourself with a flexible tape measure. Here is what you need to measure:
Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, not where your pants sit.
Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you want the jersey to end.
Men’s Sizing Chart
Here is a quick reference guide for men’s NFL jerseys:
Small: Chest 34-36 inches, height 5’7″ and under
Medium: Chest 38-40 inches, height 5’8″ to 5’11”
Large: Chest 42-44 inches, height 6’0″ to 6’2″
XL: Chest 46-48 inches, height 6’2″ to 6’4″
2XL: Chest 50-52 inches, height 6’4″ and above
Women’s and Youth Sizing
Women’s jerseys are cut differently than men’s. They are more tapered at the waist and shorter in length, designed to fit a woman’s body shape. If you are a woman who prefers a looser, more oversized fit, you can always go with a men’s small or medium.
Youth jerseys are sized for kids aged 5 to 18. They follow the same chest and waist measurements as adult sizes but with shorter sleeves and a more compact cut. If you are buying for a teenager who is between youth and adult sizes, we recommend going with a men’s small for room to grow.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Fit
If you are between sizes, size up. Jerseys are more comfortable with a little extra room.
Consider how you plan to wear it. Layered over hoodies? Size up. Worn on its own? Stick with your true size.
Check the product description. Each jersey style may fit slightly differently.
