Football jerseys are worn over shoulder pads, which makes sizing different from most other sports. A football order usually covers game jerseys and pants, and often practice jerseys, compression gear and gloves as well, and each has its own size chart.
This guide shows how to measure football jerseys and pants, how the jersey styles compare, and where to find the chart for every football style we make. For general sizing advice, see our team uniform size guide. Ordering for a youth league? See our youth football uniforms guide.
How to measure a football jersey
Our football jerseys are made to fit over shoulder pads. The best way to size them is to measure a football jersey the player already wears over pads, not a T-shirt or training top. Lay it flat and take two measurements:
- Chest width (A): measure straight across the front, 1 inch below the armholes, side seam to side seam.
- Body length (B): from the highest point of the shoulder down to the bottom hem.
Game jerseys come in Men’s XS–4XL, Youth YXS–YXL. See our custom football jerseys or open the game jersey size chart.

Lay the pants flat with the waistband relaxed, then measure:
- Waist (A): measure across the top of the waistband, laid flat and relaxed.
- Inseam (B): from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.

Sizing tips for football teams
- Size jerseys from a jersey worn over pads, not from a T-shirt size.
- Collect jersey and pants sizes separately; a player can wear a different size in each.
- Check the chart for the exact jersey style, because size ranges differ between styles.
- Use the youth chart for junior teams.
- Playing flag football or 7v7 too? See our flag football and 7v7 size charts.
