How to Measure Yourself

Grab a soft tape measure and wear a thin t-shirt. Two numbers are all you need.

Measurement	How to Take It	Why It Matters
Chest	Wrap the tape under your armpits around the fullest part of your chest. Keep it level, snug but not tight.	The #1 sizing number for every league chart below.
Length	Measure from the highest point of your shoulder straight down to where you want the hem to sit.	League cuts vary — hockey and football run longest.

NFL Jersey Sizing — Football Jerseys

NFL fan version jerseys are cut roomy for layering over hoodies on cold gamedays. The shoulders are generous, the sleeves hit mid-bicep, and the body is boxy by design — that is how football jerseys are meant to be worn.

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	32-35	81-89	27	69
S	35-37.5	89-95	28	71
M	37.5-41	95-104	29	74
L	41-44	104-112	30	76
XL	44-48.5	112-123	31	79
XXL	48.5-53.5	123-136	32	81
3XL	53.5-58	136-147	33	84
4XL	58-63	147-160	34	86
5XL	63-68	160-173	35	89

How it fits: True to size for most fans. Size up one if you plan to layer a hoodie underneath.

NBA Jersey Sizing — Basketball Jerseys

NBA fan version jerseys are sleeveless with a longer, straight body — the classic on-court cut. Armholes are cut deep so the jersey moves with you, whether you wear it solo in summer or over a t-shirt.

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	32-35	81-89	26	66
S	35-37.5	89-95	27	69
M	37.5-41	95-104	28	71
L	41-44	104-112	29	74
XL	44-48.5	112-123	30	76
XXL	48.5-53.5	123-136	31	79
3XL	53.5-58	136-147	32	81
4XL	58-63	147-160	33	84
5XL	63-68	160-173	34	86

How it fits: True to size worn solo. Go one size up for the oversized streetwear look or layering over a tee.

MLB Jersey Sizing — Baseball Jerseys

MLB fan version jerseys are button-up with a relaxed, straight cut. Because the front opens, the fit is more forgiving than a pullover; the back half is where your chest measurement matters.

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	32-35	81-89	28	71
S	35-37.5	89-95	29	74
M	37.5-41	95-104	30	76
L	41-44	104-112	31	79
XL	44-48.5	112-123	32	81
XXL	48.5-53.5	123-136	33	84
3XL	53.5-58	136-147	34	86
4XL	58-63	147-160	35	89
5XL	63-68	160-173	36	91

How it fits: True to size. The button front gives 1-2 in of natural give, so there is rarely a need to size down.

NHL Jersey Sizing — Hockey Jerseys

NHL fan version jerseys are the roomiest cut we carry — built for the ice, where players pad up underneath. Extra-long sleeves, a big angular shoulder line, and a hem that drops well below the waist.

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	34-37	86-94	29	74
S	37-40	94-102	30	76
M	40-43	102-109	31	79
L	43-46	109-117	32	81
XL	46-50	117-127	33	84
XXL	50-55	127-140	34	86
3XL	55-60	140-152	35	89
4XL	60-65	152-165	36	91
5XL	65-70	165-178	37	94

How it fits: True to size unless you want a closer fit — many fans actually size down in hockey. Layer-friendly even at your normal size.

NCAA Jersey Sizing — College Jerseys

NCAA fan jerseys follow the cut of their pro counterparts — college football jerseys wear like NFL, college basketball wears like NBA, college hockey like NHL. Check which sport your team plays and use that league chart.

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	32-35	81-89	27	69
S	35-37.5	89-95	28	71
M	37.5-41	95-104	29	74
L	41-44	104-112	30	76
XL	44-48.5	112-123	31	79
XXL	48.5-53.5	123-136	32	81
3XL	53.5-58	136-147	33	84
4XL	58-63	147-160	34	86
5XL	63-68	160-173	35	89

How it fits: True to size, matching the pro-league cut of the same sport. The chart below covers football and basketball cuts.

Soccer Jersey Sizing — Soccer Jerseys

Soccer fan version jerseys are the slimmest cut we carry — athletic and close to the body, just like the kits on the pitch. There is little room for layering; this is a summer-fit jersey.

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	32-35	81-89	26	66
S	35-37	89-94	27	69
M	37-40	94-102	28	71
L	40-43	102-109	29	74
XL	43-47	109-119	30	76
XXL	47-52	119-132	31	79
3XL	52-57	132-145	32	81
4XL	57-62	145-157	33	84
5XL	62-67	157-170	34	86

How it fits: Between sizes, size up — the slim cut has no give. Fans who prefer a looser fit regularly go one size up.

Fit Tips & FAQ

The four questions our team answers most.

Between two sizes?

Size up. A slightly relaxed jersey always looks intentional; a tight one never does. (Soccer is the one league where sizing up is almost mandatory — the cut is already slim.)

Do fan version jerseys run big or small?

Neither — they run true to size with a relaxed, everyday cut. Player (on-field / on-court) versions are the slim ones.

Do custom stitched jerseys use the same chart?

Yes. Custom names and numbers follow the exact same league chart as stock jerseys — XS through 5XL.

Will my jersey shrink?

Barely — if you wash cold inside out and hang dry. High-heat drying is what shrinks and cracks graphics.

Men's Mario Lemieux Pittsburgh Penguins 1996/97 Throwback Jersey - Black

From pre-season friendlies to the final day of the campaign, Pittsburgh Penguins fans wear the same thing in spirit. This jersey turns that into something you can actually put on. Quick answer: a custom Pittsburgh Penguins jersey - any name and number - throwback build, 1996/97.

What you get

A throwback look in a wash-and-wear knit
Era-accurate colourway matched to the original design

Throwback reissue detail

This is a throwback reissue: the colourway, crest and cut revive an earlier era of the club's shirt rather than the current campaign.

Colour that lasts

Dyeing is done so the tone stays true after repeat washes.

Finishing detail

Single-needle stitching at the seams, a ribbed neckline that keeps its shape, and a hem that stays flat after washing.

Fan version vs on-field version

Fan version: softer knit, roomier fit, lower price.
On-field version: closer cut, firmer fabric, premium price.
Team colours and crest are the same on both.

Version, sizing and what you are buying

What you are buying is the throwback cut, which is what most supporters actually want. Same look as the on-field shirt, softer hand-feel, roomier fit, and easier to live in week to week.

Sizing runs true to a standard athletic cut for supporters. If you are between sizes, or you want room for layering, take the next size up.

Frequently asked questions

Is this current season or a throwback design?

It is a throwback reissue. The design revives an earlier era of the club's kit rather than the current campaign.

What does it look like in person?

Close to the photographs. The colour is matched to the team palette and the finish is matte rather than shiny.

Will the colours fade?

No, not with normal washing. Cold water and a low tumble dry protect both the colour and the shape.

What size should I get for a child?

Take their normal age size. If they are between sizes, go up - youth cuts run slightly slim.
