Sizing Advice

Jersey sizing depends on the sport. Basketball jerseys are designed to be oversized — go true to size for a relaxed fit or down one for a more fitted look. Soccer jerseys are designed to be athletic and fitted. If you want a relaxed fit, go up one size. Always check the length measurement; some jerseys are longer than expected.

Style Note: Basketball jerseys are the dominant jersey style in streetwear. Soccer jerseys are gaining popularity as a more fitted alternative. Vintage 90s jerseys are the most sought-after. For styling, wear a jersey over a tee for layering, or on its own in summer. Neutral or team-color jerseys are the most versatile.
