NFL replica jerseys are cut full and boxy — the classic sideline silhouette, designed to be worn over a t-shirt or a hoodie. Order your true chest size for that look, and go up one only if you intend to layer.
The size chart below is the one we check before anything ships, and it is more detailed than most, because football shirts carry a waist and a sleeve measurement alongside the chest.
Key facts
- Fit type: roomy / boxy. The second-loftiest cut of the six leagues, behind hockey.
- Men's S: 35–38 in / 89–97 cm chest, 29–32 in waist, 29 in / 74 cm body length.
- Youth XL fits most teenagers up to about 5'6" (168 cm); after that, go to a men's S.
- Women's jerseys use a tapered, contoured cut — for the classic boxy look, order a men's S or M instead.
- Sizes run to 4XL in the men's chart — the only league where 4XL appears on the standard table.
- Two build bands in this range: Legend Player Performance at $74.99 and Legacy Replica at $79.99.
- Free shipping over $68, 30-day returns, free size check before dispatch.
The build tiers, and where this range sits
Football shirts are sold in tiers, and the differences are mostly about how the name and number are applied and how heavy the fabric is.
| Tier | Generally | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Game | The entry tier | Lightest fabric, applied name and number — the shirt most fans buy |
| Limited | The middle tier | Heavier build with stitched detailing |
| Elite | The top tier | Closest to what is worn on the field; the priciest by a distance |
In this store, the football range is expressed in two named builds rather than the three tier names. The Legend Player Performance top sits at $74.99 and is the lighter, closer of the two. The Legacy Replica sits at $79.99 and uses the traditional roomy, boxy replica cut. If you are comparing against the tiers above, the Legend build behaves like the Game tier and the Legacy build closer to Limited — but for the money, the two are close enough that colourway should decide it, not construction.
Men's NFL jersey chart
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Waist (in) | Length (in) | Length (cm) | Sleeve (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 35–38 | 89–97 | 29–32 | 29 | 74 | 17.5 |
| M | 38–41 | 97–104 | 32–35 | 30 | 76 | 18.5 |
| L | 41–44 | 104–112 | 35–38 | 31 | 79 | 19.5 |
| XL | 44–48 | 112–122 | 38–43 | 32 | 81 | 20.5 |
| 2XL | 48–53 | 122–135 | 43–48 | 33 | 84 | 21.5 |
| 3XL | 53–58 | 135–147 | 48–53 | 34 | 86 | 22.5 |
| 4XL | 58–63 | 147–160 | 53–58 | 35 | 89 | 23.5 |
Note the step between 3XL and 4XL: the chest range widens to five inches per size at the top end, and the body length grows by an inch. Football is the one league in this store that carries a 4XL on the standard chart, so larger buyers do not have to go custom.
Women's NFL jersey chart
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Waist (in) | Length (in) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 31–33 | 79–84 | 25–26 | 26 | 66 |
| S | 33–35 | 84–89 | 26–28 | 27 | 69 |
| M | 35–38 | 89–97 | 28–31 | 27.5 | 70 |
| L | 38–41 | 97–104 | 31–34 | 28 | 71 |
| XL | 41–44 | 104–112 | 34–37 | 28.5 | 72 |
| 2XL | 44–47 | 112–119 | 37–40 | 29 | 74 |
Women's football jerseys are tapered and contoured, and the body is 2–4 inches shorter than the men's equivalent. If you want the oversized sideline look, this is the one place where the answer is to buy from the men's chart — a men's S or M gives the boxy silhouette without going up a size.
Youth NFL jersey chart
| Size | Ages | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Height (in) | Height (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 7–8 | 26–27 | 66–69 | 50–54 | 127–137 |
| M | 9–12 | 28–30 | 71–76 | 55–60 | 140–152 |
| L | 13–15 | 31–33 | 79–84 | 61–63 | 155–160 |
| XL | 16–18 | 34–36 | 86–91 | 64–67 | 163–170 |
Youth XL is the top of the range and fits most teenagers up to about 5'6" (168 cm). Past that, move to a men's S rather than trying to stretch the youth size. Youth sizes are unisex and consistent across football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer, so a youth L is a youth L whatever the sport.
What the builds cost in practice
The clearest way to see the two bands is to compare shirts in the same colourway.
| Shirt | Build | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts, Kelly green | Legend Player Performance | $74.99 |
| Saquon Barkley, Kelly green | Legend Player Performance | $74.99 |
| DeVonta Smith, green | Legend Player Performance | $74.99 |
| Jason Kelce, white 2011 | Legacy Replica | $79.99 |
| Brian Dawkins, green | Legacy Replica | $79.99 |
| Reggie White, Kelly green | Legacy Replica | $79.99 |
| Donovan McNabb, midnight green 1999 | Legacy Replica | $79.99 |
| Michael Vick, black 2012 | Legacy Replica throwback | $79.99 |
The $5 difference between builds is small enough that it should not drive the decision. What should is whether you want the lighter player-style top or the traditional boxy replica — and whether you want a current name or a retired one.
For a wider view of the sport, the NFL collection covers every franchise, with dedicated ranges for Kansas City, San Francisco, Buffalo, Dallas and New England. The Eagles team page breaks the Philadelphia range down by edition, and new stock lands on the NFL new-season page.
Measuring, and the size check
- Chest. Around the fullest part, under the arms, tape level. Do not pull it tight.
- Waist. At the natural waistline, above the belly button. Football shirts use it as a secondary check.
- Body length. From the highest shoulder point beside the collar to where you want the hem.
- Sleeve. From the shoulder seam to the wrist with the arm slightly bent.
If the numbers land between two sizes, size up — football shirts are forgiving, and a slightly large replica looks correct in a way a slightly small one does not. Still unsure? Order with your best guess and send your height, chest and waist measurements to fanservice2026@outlook.com. We check the size before dispatch and swap it if another fits better.

Frequently asked questions
Do NFL jerseys run big or small?
They run roomy. The chest measurements are standard, but the cut is deliberately full and boxy. Order your true chest size for the intended look, or size up one if you plan to wear a hoodie underneath.
What is the difference between the Legend and Legacy builds?
Legend Player Performance is the lighter, closer build at $74.99. Legacy Replica is the traditional roomy replica cut at $79.99. Both use the same size chart, so your size does not change.
What size is a youth XL in adult sizes?
Youth XL covers chests of 34–36 inches and heights of 64–67 inches (163–170 cm), which fits most teenagers up to about 5'6". After that, move to a men's S.
Is there a 4XL NFL jersey?
Yes. Football is the one league in this store with 4XL on the standard men's chart: 58–63 inches / 147–160 cm chest, 35 inches / 89 cm body length.
Should I buy a women's or a men's jersey?
It depends on the silhouette you want. Women's jerseys are tapered and contoured with a shorter body. For the classic boxy sideline look, order a men's S or M — that is the standard answer for anyone who wants the oversized fit.
How does an NFL size compare with soccer or hockey?
A 40–43 inch chest is an NFL L, a soccer L and an NHL M. Use your chest measurement rather than the label when switching between sports.
