Football Jersey Size Guide: Fan vs Player Fit & Kids Sizes

Choosing between a fan jersey, a player jersey and a kids kit? Compare the reference measurements below, then check the sizes offered on the individual product page. Fit can vary by style.

Men's fan version size chart

Reference chart: chest is the garment circumference. Height and weight are approximate guides, not a guarantee of fit.

Men's player version size chart

Reference chart: chest is the shirt's flat width, measured across the front, not the circumference. The player version is slim fitting; if between sizes, compare measurements and consider sizing up. The source chart allows about 1–3 cm variation.

Kids football kit size chart

Reference chart: chest is the shirt's flat width, not the circumference. Age and height are approximate; a child's current shirt measurements are more useful than age alone.

How to choose your size

  1. Measure a shirt that already fits: length from shoulder to hem and chest flat from underarm to underarm. For circumference, double the flat chest width.
  2. Compare like with like: the fan chart gives chest circumference, while the player and kids charts give flat width. Do not compare 102 cm directly with 46 cm.
  3. For a closer athletic fit, consider the player cut. For more room, consider the fan cut. Use the actual measurements rather than assuming the same letter size fits alike.
  4. Check the available size options and photos on the product page. A custom name or number does not change the garment measurements; confirm the style and availability with the seller.

Common sizing questions

Should I size up for a player version?

The reference player chart describes a slim fit and suggests sizing up. Compare a shirt you own with its flat chest width and length before choosing.

Is kids size 24 right for an eight-year-old?

The reference chart lists size 24 for about ages 8–10 and heights 130–140 cm. Measure the child and compare a well-fitting kit; age alone is not precise.

Are these measurements exact for every jersey?

No. These are supplied reference charts, not measurements of every product. Cuts and availability vary by style; ask the seller if you need a specific garment measurement.
