How to Size NFL Jerseys

NFL fans everywhere love to show their team spirit by sporting their favorite player's jersey. Whether it's at a game, sitting on the couch or at the local sports bar, when game day arrives, out come the jerseys. NFL jerseys are not sized normally--they instead use a number system. This can be especially tough for people purchasing online, when there is no store associate to ask for help.

Instructions

1. Determine if you want to purchase a men's, women's, or youth-size NFL jersey. The numbering varies by type.

2. Purchase men's jerseys based on the following guide: 46 is small, 48 is medium, 50 is large, 52 is extra large, 54 is 2X, 56 is 3X, 58 is 4X and 60 is 5X.

3. Purchase women's jerseys based on the following guide: 2-4 is small, 6-8 medium, 10-12 is large, 14-16 is extra large, 18-20 is 2X large, 22-24 is 3X and 24-26 is 4X.

4. Purchase youth jerseys based on the following guide: 8 is small, 10-12 is medium, 14-16 is large and 18-20 is extra large.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that jerseys are larger and baggier than a normal shirt, especially authentic jerseys.
