Fan Version vs Player Version Jerseys: What's the Difference?

Short answer: the Fan Version is a classic, comfortable cut with embroidered badges, made for everyday wear. The Player Version is the slim, lightweight matchday cut with heat-pressed details, inspired by the shirts worn on the pitch. The Player Version fits tighter, so most people order one size up.

How to find your size

Both versions follow an athletic fit. Check the measurements in our Size Guide, which has a separate chart for the Player Version. If you are between sizes, go one size up, especially for the Player Version. Because every jersey is made to order, returns and exchanges are not accepted for sizing, so it is worth checking before you buy. You can also email support@ninejersey.com with your height and weight and we will recommend a size.

Can I add a name and number to both versions?

Yes. Most jerseys can be personalized with a name and number on the product page, with a live preview before you add it to your cart.
