The most common mistake when buying a football jersey online is choosing the wrong size. Football shirts, especially player versions, fit very differently from a regular T-shirt. This guide shows you how to measure yourself, how to read our size chart and which size to pick.

"Chest" is the body chest size each jersey is made to fit. Length is measured from the top of the shoulder, next to the collar, down to the bottom hem. Player version jerseys sit at the shorter end of each length range and fan versions at the longer end. Sizes can vary slightly by club.
How to measure your chest
- Stand straight and relax your arms by your sides.
- Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits and across your shoulder blades.
- Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight.
- Note the number in inches and match it to the chart above.
No measuring tape? Lay a T-shirt that fits you well flat on a table, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, and double it to get an approximate chest size.
Player version sizing: go one size up
Player version jerseys are cut slim and close to the body, like the shirts worn on the pitch. If you like a fitted look, take your normal size; for most people, one size bigger than usual gives the most comfortable fit. Player versions come in S to XXL.
Fan version and kit sets: regular fit
Our jersey and shorts sets are fan version, with a relaxed, regular fit. Choose your usual size, or the bigger one if you are between sizes. Sets come in S to XL, and the shorts are the same size as the jersey.
Quick size picker
- You usually wear M in T-shirts: L in player version, M in a fan version set.
- You usually wear L: XL in player version, L in a fan version set.
- Between two sizes: always choose the bigger one.
- Buying a gift: go one size bigger; a slightly loose jersey looks fine, a tight one does not.
Why getting the size right matters
We replace items that arrive wrong or damaged, but we cannot exchange jerseys for a different size, and printed jerseys cannot be returned. Taking two minutes to measure saves you a lot of trouble. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp with your chest size and we will help you choose.
Frequently asked questions
Do football jerseys run small?
Player version jerseys fit closer to the body than T-shirts, so they can feel small. Order one size bigger.
What size football jersey should I get for a 40 inch chest?
A 40 inch chest is on the M/L border. Choose L, or XL in player version if you prefer a looser fit.
Do jersey and shorts sets come in XXL?
Our sets currently come in S to XL. Player version jerseys go up to XXL.
Will the jersey shrink after washing?
Wash inside out in cold water and dry in the shade, and your jersey will keep its size and shape.
