NFL Team Jersey Buyer's Guide: How to Pick Your Kit

Start with the franchise you love — every NFL team is stocked, from the Buffalo Bills to the San Francisco 49ers.
Quick answer: To pick your NFL team jersey, start with the franchise you actually support, then choose a colourway (home, away or alternate), a tier (Game, Limited or Elite) and the right size. Every NFL team is in stock in the men’s Game cut, with most top sellers also offered in women’s, youth and toddler sizes — and many can be personalized with your own name and number. Below: a step-by-step kit picker, a conference team map, and real jerseys you can order today.

1. Start with your team

Everything begins with the franchise. Whether you back a contender or your hometown underdog, the right kit is the one you’ll actually wear — so lead with loyalty, then let colour and tier follow. We stock all 32 NFL teams, so you can rep the Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles or the Green Bay Packers with equal ease.

Not sure where to start? Pick a division and go from there — every name below links to that team’s full jersey collection:

2. Home, away or alternate?

NFL clubs typically release three looks each season: a home jersey (usually the team’s signature colour), an away jersey (most often white), and sometimes a third / alternate or throwback design. There is no wrong answer — choose the colourway that fits your wardrobe, or the era you love most. A Dallas Cowboys white away shirt reads completely differently from their blue home, even though it is the same player on the back.

Two quick rules of thumb: white away jerseys pair with everything and photograph clean, while a team-colour home jersey makes the boldest statement on game day. If you can’t decide, most fans buy the home colour first and add the away later.

3. Game vs Limited vs Elite: which tier should you buy?

The same team jersey comes in three main constructions. All three carry the official team colours and wordmarks — what changes is the numbers, the fabric and how close the shirt sits to what the players actually wear on Sunday. (If you want the wider view on fan versions versus on-pitch builds, see our authentic vs replica guide.)

TierNumbers & namesFitBest for
GameScreen-printed numbers and nameRelaxed, roomy everyday cutStadium trips, casual wear, gifting — the most popular tier
LimitedStitched (sewn-on) numbersSlimmer athletic cutFans who want the closer-to-on-pitch look without the top price
Elite / CustomPremium construction; many styles can be personalized with any name & numberClosest to the on-field specificationCollectors, personalization, and matchday purists

4. Get the size right

Size first. NFL jerseys are cut to be worn over pads, so they run boxier than soccer shirts — measure your chest and compare it with the brand’s chart before ordering. Our league-by-league size chart covers NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and soccer side by side, and every order includes a free size exchange if the fit is off.

Then make it yours. Once you have the team and the size, many of our jerseys can be personalized with any name and number you like — build a Buffalo Bills shirt with your own name on the back, or recreate a legend’s kit. Custom tiers sit closest to the on-field specification and are the move for gifts and matchday purists.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose which NFL team jersey to buy?

Start with the franchise you actually support, then pick a colourway (home, away or alternate), a tier (Game, Limited or Elite) and the right size. We stock all 32 NFL teams, so you can rep any club from the Bills to the 49ers.

What is the difference between Game, Limited and Elite NFL jerseys?

Game jerseys use screen-printed numbers and a relaxed everyday cut — the most popular tier. Limited jerseys add stitched (sewn-on) numbers and a slimmer athletic fit. Elite and custom jerseys sit closest to the on-field specification and often support personalization with any name and number.

Should I buy a home or away NFL jersey?

It comes down to preference. Home jerseys use the team’s signature colour and make the boldest statement; away jerseys are usually white, pair with any outfit and photograph cleanly. Most fans buy the home colour first and add the away later.

Do NFL jerseys run big or small?

NFL jerseys are designed to be worn over pads, so they run boxier than soccer jerseys. Measure your chest and compare it with a size chart before ordering; if the fit is wrong, a free size exchange sorts it out.

Can I get a custom name and number on an NFL jersey?

Yes. Many of our jerseys can be personalized with any name and number you like, and the custom / Elite tiers sit closest to the on-field specification — ideal for gifts and matchday wear.
