How to Determine NFL Jersey Size Length

NFL jerseys are great. You can wear them on Sundays, or any other day of the year and show team pride. But because they are not your everyday, normal shirts, it can be difficult to figure out what size will fit you properly. There are a number of resources around the Internet that provide size charts for NFL jerseys from a number of different, authorized jersey producers. If you know where to look, you'll find that finding the right jersey size is easy.

Things You'll Need

• Tape measure

Instructions

1. Measure yourself (or ideally, have someone else measure you) in inches from the top of your shoulder to the point where you want the jersey to reach on your body.

2. Search the Internet for the team jersey and the brand that you are interested in buying.

3. Visit www.cbssportsstore.com/sm-football-jersey-size-chart--bg-1381340.html. It lists the official jersey sizes for both Reebok and Mitchell & Ness jerseys, the two authentic NFL jersey makers. Take note of the "body" measurement for each jersey size and compare it to your own measurements.

4. Order your jersey from an Internet outlet, or go to a local store that sells authorized jerseys, with the knowledge that you have found the appropriate jersey size.

Tips & Warnings

• The Internet has a lot of different sites advertising NFL jersey sales. It can be confusing to know which to use, and it is best to stick to reputable retailers such as the NFL shop (www.NFLshop.com) or Dick's Sporting Goods (www.dickssportinggoods.com) to receive the best service and consumer protection.

• The Internet is a valuable tool for researching sizes before going to a store to purchase in person.
