How to Choose the Right Football Jersey Size
Short answer: lay a shirt that fits you well flat, measure the width (armpit to armpit) and the length (top of the shoulder to the hem), and compare with the chart below. Football jerseys have an athletic fit, so if you are between sizes or are buying a Player Version, order one size up.
Step 1: Measure
- Width: lay the jersey flat and measure from armpit to armpit.
- Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.
- Compare both numbers with the chart. Comparing with a jersey you already own is the most reliable way to choose.

Can I exchange a jersey that doesn't fit?
All jerseys are made to order, so returns and exchanges are not accepted for sizing or fit issues. If you are unsure, email support@ninejersey.com with your height and weight before you order and we will recommend a size. The charts are also available on every product page and in our Size Guide.
