Jersey Size Guide - NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL

The right size, the first time. All charts below use international standard body measurements — in inches and centimeters — covering jerseys, shorts, jackets, hoodies and pants.

Not sure which size to pick? No problem — just place your order with the size you think fits best. Then send us your height, chest and waist measurements (plus hip for shorts and pants) via the order message or email, and our team will double-check your size before shipping. If a different size fits you better, we'll send that one instead — you'll get the size that actually fits, not the one you guessed.

1. How to Measure

Take these measurements over a thin t-shirt (never outerwear), standing relaxed with your arms at your sides. Use a soft measuring tape — if you don't have one, wrap a piece of string around the point, mark it, then measure the string against a ruler.

1. Chest — most importantMeasure around the fullest part of your chest, directly under the armpits. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and don't puff your chest out.

2. WaistMeasure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button.

3. Hip — for shorts & pantsMeasure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, with your feet together. This is the key number for bottoms.

4. Body LengthMeasure from the highest point of your shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to where you want the hem to sit.

5. SleeveFor long-sleeve jerseys and jackets (NFL, MLB, NHL): measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist with your arm slightly bent.

6. Inseam — for pantsMeasure from your crotch straight down to your ankle bone along the inside of your leg. This determines pant length.

Golden rule: your chest measurement is the number that matters most for jerseys, jackets and hoodies; your waist and hip drive shorts and pants. Match them to the charts below — and if you're between two sizes, always size up.

2. Fit by League

Not all jerseys are cut the same way. Before you pick a size, know how each league's jersey is designed to fit:

League	Fit Type	How It Should Feel
Soccer	Athletic / slim	Close to the body; size up for a looser look
NBA	Standard / slightly long	Relaxed through the chest, longer hem
NFL	Roomy / boxy	Classic oversized game-day look
MLB	Full / button-front	Relaxed traditional baseball cut
NHL	Very loose	The loosest cut of all leagues — order your true size, no need to size up

All replica and fan-edition jerseys follow the league's traditional silhouette, matching the sizing used by standard retail for each league.

Chest measurements are body measurements, not garment measurements. Prefer a looser fit? Choose the larger size whenever you're between two.

4. NFL Football Jerseys Roomy / boxy fit

NFL replica jerseys are cut full and boxy, the classic sideline look. They're designed to layer over a t-shirt or hoodie.

Men's NFL Jerseys

2XL	44–47	112–119	37–40	29	74

Women's NFL jerseys have a tapered, contoured cut. If you prefer the classic boxy look, order a men's size S or M instead.

Six youth sizes shared across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and soccer. For the year-by-year breakdown (age 5 to 16 with EU, US and UK sizes), see Youth & Toddler Sizes below.

5. NBA Basketball Jerseys Standard / long fit

NBA jerseys are sleeveless with a slightly longer hem, standard through the chest and shoulders.

Youth NBA Jerseys

Youth NBA jerseys use the same six youth sizes as every other league on this store — YS, S, M, L, XL and Y2XL. Each one carries a US, EU and UK equivalent, and the full year-by-year chart (age 8 to 16) is in Youth & Toddler Sizes.

6. MLB Baseball Jerseys Full / button-front fit

MLB jerseys are button-front with a relaxed traditional baseball cut — full through the chest and body, hem sits at the hip.

Men's MLB Jerseys

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)	Sleeve (in)
S	36–38	91–97	28	71	17.5

XL	40–43	102–109	28	71
2XL	43–46	109–117	28.5	72

7. NHL Hockey Jerseys Very loose fit

Hockey jerseys are the roomiest cut in sports — wide through the chest and body with extra-long sleeves, designed to be worn over layers. Order your true chest size; do not size up unless you want an extremely oversized fit.

Men's NHL Jerseys

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)	Sleeve (in)
S	40–43	102–109	30	76	24
M	43–46	109–117	31	79	25
L	46–49	117–124	32	81	26
XL	49–52	124–132	33	84	27
2XL	52–55	132–140	34	86	28
3XL	55–58	140–147	35	89	29

NHL jerseys naturally run 1–2 sizes roomier than soccer or NBA jerseys of the same label. A 40" chest wears an NHL S the way it wears a soccer L.

8. Soccer Jerseys Athletic / slim fit

Soccer jerseys are the slimmest, most tailored cut — designed to sit close to the body like the kits players wear. If you like a relaxed fit or plan to wear a layer underneath, size up one.

Men's Soccer Jerseys

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (in)	Length (cm)	US Size	EU Size

Youth Soccer Jerseys

Youth soccer jerseys use the same six youth sizes as every other league here — YS, S, M, L, XL and Y2XL, each with a US, EU and UK equivalent in Youth & Toddler Sizes. Soccer cuts run closer to the body, so if your child is between two sizes take the larger one. Youth XL transitions naturally into a men's S.

9. Youth & Toddler Sizes

Our youth line runs six unisex sizes from YS (age 5–7) to Y2XL (age 15–16), consistent across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and soccer jerseys. When buying for a growing fan, size up — kids always grow into jerseys faster than they wear them out.

Youth Jerseys — every age from 5 to 16

Age alone is a rough guide, so match your child against the US, EU or UK size below (EU sizes are simply height in centimetres), then use the second table to confirm height, chest and weight. The last column tells you which of our six youth sizes to order.

Age	Our size	US size	EU size	UK size
5	YS	5	110	5–6y
6	YS	6	116	5–6y
7	YS	6X–7	122	6–7y
8	S	8	128	7–8y
9	S	8–9	134	8–9y
10	S or M	10	140	9–10y
11	M	10–12	146	10–11y
12	M or L	12	152	11–12y
13	L	12–14	158	12–13y
14	L or XL	14	164	13–14y
15	XL or Y2XL	14–16	164–170	14–15y
16	Y2XL	16	170	15–16y

A child at the top of one band usually fits the next size up, and a youth jersey is worn over a t-shirt — if you are between two of our sizes, take the larger. YS starts at age 5; below that, use the toddler chart.

Age	Height (in)	Height (cm)	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Weight (lb)
5	42–45	107–114	24–25	61–64	40–46

Y2XL	34–36	86–91	65–68	165–173	128–145

All six youth sizes are unisex — we do not stock a separate girls' cut, so size by height and chest rather than by gender. Above Y2XL (roughly 5′8″ / 173 cm and a 36″ chest) move to a men's S, which is cut longer in the body and sleeves.

How to measure, in the order that matters

1. Height first. Stand your child against a wall without shoes and mark the top of the head. This single number decides the EU size and narrows you to two rows above. 2. Chest second. Run a tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, keeping it level. 3. Weight last. Weight only breaks a tie between two sizes. Measure in the clothes they will wear under the jersey, and remember that a jersey is designed to sit over a shirt, so a snug-looking chest measurement is fine.

Toddler Jerseys (2T–5T)

Size	Age	US size	EU size	UK size	Height (in)	Height (cm)	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Weight (lb)
2T	1–2	2T	92	2–3y	33–35.5	84–90	21	53	26–29
3T	2–3	3T	98	3–4y	36–38.5	92–97	22	56	30–34
4T	3–4	4T	104	4–5y	39–41	99–104	23	58	35–39
5T	4–5	5T	110	5–6y	42–45	107–114	24	61	40–44

Toddler sizes are cut with extra room through the body and a shorter sleeve — they are not the same garment as our youth sizes. The age column follows how our toddler listings are labelled (2T fits roughly 1–2 years, 5T roughly 4–5), which is why 5T and youth YS overlap: take 5T for the smaller, softer cut and YS if the child is tall for their age.

10. Shorts Elastic waist / drawstring

Our basketball, soccer and training shorts follow international athletic-wear standards, sized by waist measurement. Most styles have an elastic waist with drawstring, so each size covers a comfortable range — match your waist and don't overthink it.

Men's Shorts

Size	Waist (in)	Waist (cm)	Hip (in)	Hip (cm)	Shorts Length (in)	Length (cm)
S	29–32	74–81	35–37.5	89–95	18–19	46–48
M	32–35	81–89	37.5–41	95–104	19–20	48–51
L	35–38	89–97	41–44	104–112	20–21	51–53
XL	38–43	97–109	44–48	112–122	21–22	53–56
2XL	43–47	109–119	48–52	122–132	22–23	56–58
3XL	47–52	119–132	52–56	132–142	23–24	58–61

Length shown is outseam (waistband to hem). Basketball shorts run longer (9–11" inseam); soccer shorts run shorter (5–7" inseam) with a slimmer cut — for soccer shorts, size up if you're between sizes.

Women's Shorts

Size	Waist (in)	Waist (cm)	Hip (in)	Hip (cm)	US Size
XS	24–25	61–64	33–34.5	84–88	2–4
S	25–27	64–69	34.5–36.5	88–93	4–6
M	27–30	69–76	36.5–39	93–99	8–10
L	30–33	76–84	39–41.5	99–105	12–14
XL	33–37	84–94	41.5–44.5	105–113	16–18
2XL	37–41	94–104	44.5–47.5	113–121	20–22

Women's shorts are cut with a shorter rise and slightly slimmer thigh than men's. Prefer a longer, looser fit? Order a men's small instead.

Youth Shorts

Youth shorts follow the general youth chart in Section 9 — match the child's waist or weight to the same youth S / M / L / XL as jerseys.

11. Jackets & Hoodies Layer-friendly fit

Bomber jackets, track jackets, windbreakers and hoodies are cut to international standard outerwear sizing — roomy enough to layer over a jersey or t-shirt. If you plan to wear yours over a hoodie in winter, go one size up.

Men's Jackets & Hoodies

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Waist (in)	Length (in)	Length (cm)	Sleeve (in)
S	35–38	89–97	29–32	26–27	66–69	33.5
M	38–41	97–104	32–35	27–28	69–71	34.5
L	41–44	104–112	35–38	28–29	71–74	35.5
XL	44–48	112–122	38–43	29–30	74–76	36.5
2XL	48–53	122–135	43–48	30–31	76–79	37.5
3XL	53–58	135–147	48–53	31–32	79–81	38.5

Sleeve is measured from the center back of the collar to the cuff (standard outerwear method), so it runs longer than the shoulder-to-wrist measurement used for jerseys.

Women's Jackets & Hoodies

Size	Chest (in)	Chest (cm)	Waist (in)	Length (in)	Length (cm)
XS	31–33	79–84	25–26	23–24	58–61
S	33–35	84–89	26–28	24–25	61–64
M	35–38	89–97	28–31	25–26	64–66
L	38–41	97–104	31–34	26–27	66–69
XL	41–44	104–112	34–37	27–28	69–71
2XL	44–47	112–119	37–40	28–29	71–74

Cropped jacket styles run 2–3" shorter than shown. Product pages will note when a style is cropped or oversized.

Youth Jackets & Hoodies

Youth jackets and hoodies follow the general youth chart in Section 9 by age and height.

12. Pants, Joggers & Track Pants Drawstring waist

Track pants and joggers are sized by waist with a drawstring closure, so each size adjusts comfortably. Match your waist first; then check inseam for length. Regular inseam fits heights from 5'6" to 6'1" (168–185 cm).

Men's Pants

Size	Waist (in)	Waist (cm)	Hip (in)	Hip (cm)	Inseam (in)	Inseam (cm)
S	29–32	74–81	35–37.5	89–95	30–31	76–79
M	32–35	81–89	37.5–41	95–104	30.5–31.5	77–80
L	35–38	89–97	41–44	104–112	31–32	79–81
XL	38–43	97–109	44–48	112–122	31.5–32.5	80–83
2XL	43–47	109–119	48–52	122–132	32–33	81–84
3XL	47–52	119–132	52–56	132–142	32–33	81–84

14. Sizing FAQ

Do your jerseys run big or small?

Each league follows its traditional cut: soccer is slim, NBA is standard, NFL and MLB are roomy, NHL is the loosest. Match your chest measurement to the chart for your league and you'll get the intended fit. If you're ordering across leagues for the first time, check the Quick Size Finder in Section 3 — the same body often wears a different size in different leagues.

I'm between two sizes — which should I pick?

Size up. Jerseys are casual wear designed to be worn relaxed; a half-size of extra room always looks better than a snug fit. The only exception is NHL hockey jerseys — they already run very loose, so stay at your true size.

Should I buy men's or women's jerseys?

Women's jerseys have a tapered, contoured cut through the waist; men's jerseys are cut straight and boxy. Many fans prefer the men's fit for the classic oversized look — that's a style choice, not a sizing error. Women ordering a men's cut should typically go one size down from their women's size.

Youth XL or men's S — which one for a teenager?

Our youth line runs YS (5–7) through Y2XL (15–16). A 13–15 year old is usually the XL; Y2XL is the step above it, built for roughly US 16 / EU 170 and up to 5′8″ (173 cm). Past that, move to a men's S, which is cut longer in the body and sleeves. All youth sizes are unisex.

Do I wear the same size in jerseys, shorts and jackets?

Usually close, but not always. Jerseys and jackets are sized by chest; shorts and pants are sized by waist and hip — many fans wear a jersey L but a shorts M. Always check the chart for the product type you're ordering rather than reusing your jersey size across categories.

What if the size still isn't right?

No problem. Every order is covered by our 30-day free returns and exchanges policy — swap for a different size and we'll make it right. Questions before you order? Email jerseyhelp@hotmail.com with your chest measurement and the item you're eyeing, and our team will recommend a size within 12–24 hours. Or simply place your order and send us your height, chest and waist measurements in the order message — we'll verify your size before shipping (see the note at the top of this page).

Measure twice, cheer once. Sixty seconds with a tape measure beats two weeks of waiting for an exchange.
