Jersey Size Guide: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA & Soccer Charts
Every jersey fit, decoded. Measure once, check the chart for your league, and order with confidence — all charts below cover both inches and centimeters, with US–EU conversions included.
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 jersey chart on this page. |
| Length | Measure from the highest point of your shoulder straight down to where you want the hem to sit. | Jersey cuts vary by league — hockey and football run long. |
Soccer Jerseys
Soccer fan-edition jerseys use an athletic cut that sits closer to the body. If you prefer the loose terrace look, go one size up.
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Length (in) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 35-37.5 in | 89‑95 cm | 27.5 in | 70 cm |

NFL Football Jerseys
Football jerseys are cut roomy through the body and sleeves — they're designed to go over a hoodie on cold game days. Most fans take their regular t-shirt size.
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Length (in) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 35-37.5 in | 89‑95 cm | 30 in | 76 cm |

| 3XL | 53.5-58 in | 136‑147 cm | 35 in | 89 cm |
NBA Basketball Jerseys

|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 35-37.5 in | 89‑95 cm | 29 in | 74 cm |

MLB Baseball Jerseys
Baseball button-ups run true to size with a slightly relaxed body. Between sizes? Size down for a tucked-in look, up for wearing it open over a tee.
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Length (in) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 35-37.5 in | 89‑95 cm | 29 in | 74 cm |

Kids Jerseys (6‑12 Years)
Kids' jerseys use the international (EU) height-based numeric standard — the size number simply equals your child's height in centimeters. One row per year of age; chest and height always win over age.
| Size (EU · Age) | Height (in) | Height (cm) | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 122 · 6‑7 Y | 46-48 in | 117‑122 cm | 24.8 in | 63 cm |

Teen Jerseys (12‑16 Years)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 158 · 12‑13 Y | 60.5-62 in | 153‑158 cm | 32.5 in | 82 cm |

Fit Tips & FAQ
Do fan-edition jerseys run big or small?
They run true to standard US sportswear sizing. The charts above reflect the standard industry sizing used across major jersey manufacturers, so your usual t-shirt size is the right starting point — then adjust for the league's cut (roomy for hockey and football, athletic for soccer).
What if my jersey doesn't fit?
No stress. We offer size exchanges — email fkvservice@outlook.com within 30 days of delivery, keep the tags on, and we'll get the right size on its way. Full details are on our Returns & Exchanges page.
Are measurements exact for every product?
Charts show standard body-measurement sizing; individual styles can vary by about ±1 in (2.5 cm) due to fabric and cut. Any product with a notable fit difference says so on its product page.
How do I care for my jersey so it keeps its size?
Cold wash inside-out, hang dry, never tumble dry on high heat. Heat is what shrinks jerseys and cracks heat-pressed names and numbers — treat it right and the fit stays true for years.
