An Authentic NFL jersey allows football fans to express their loyalty toward a team.NFL jerseys have a variety of different makers and styles, from vintage jerseys to replica jerseys. Since every few years the NFL jerseys are sponsored by a different clothing line, the sizing changes every so often. Regardless, both authentic and replica jerseys sold by the NFL will provide different measurements and styles for fans.
1. Measure your body and chest length. Take the tape measure and measure from the top of your neck to the bottom of your waist. Take the measuring tape and wrap it around the fullest part of your chest to acquire your chest measurements. You will need these measurements to determine the correct jersey size.
2. Note the differences between authentic and replica jerseys. Authentic jerseys will be loose fitting, while replicas will be a bit tighter. The reasons for this is because authentic are actual jerseys NFL players wear, allowing for padding equipment to fit.
3. Determine where your measurements fall under. When reading the jersey label, determine if your measurements fall under a small, medium, large, extra-large or above. For full list of sizing chart measurements, visit www.buynfl.net.
4. Select the desired jersey. If you want a loose fitting jersey, select a size bigger than your current measurements or choose an authentic jersey, as authentic jerseys are designed specifically for football players to wear padding equipment.
5. Based on your measurements, determine your optimal jersey size using the chart below for men's sizes:
Small jersey: Chest 45" (Length: 32)
Medium: Chest 47" (Length: 33)
Large: Chest 49" (Length: 34)
X-Large: Chest 51" (Length: 35)
XX-Large: Chest 53" (Length: 36)
3X-Large: Chest 57" (Length: 37)
4X-Large: Chest 61" (Length: 39)
5X-Large: Chest 65" (Length: 41)
Since this chart is based on body measurements, not clothing measurements, choose an approximate size up from your actual measurement for a looser fitting jersey and a size down for a closer fit.
For women's jersey sizes, use this chart:
Women's size 2-4: Small jersey
Size 6-8: Medium
Size 10-12: Large
Size: 14-6: X-Large
Size: 18-20: 2X-Large
Size: 22-24: 3X-Large
Size: 24-26: 4X-Large
According to buynfl.net, women's jerseys have a slender cut. Order one size up if you like to wear your jersey loose.
