NFL Women's Jerseys: How to Find Your Perfect Fit
Updated September 24, 2026 · 7 min read
1. How the women’s cut differs from the men’s
Most NFL jerseys you see photographed are the unisex (men’s) build: a straight, boxy cut with a roomy chest and a longer hem, designed to be worn over shoulder pads. The women’s version keeps the same team colours, crests and fonts but reshapes the shirt to the body:
- Tapered waist — the side seams curve in at the middle instead of dropping straight, so the shirt follows the waist.
- Shorter body — the hem sits higher, roughly an inch shorter than the men’s same label, so it doesn’t bunch at the hips.
- Narrower shoulders — the yoke and sleeves are cut closer, removing the pad allowance.
- Neckline — women’s Game jerseys use a smaller crew or V-neck rather than the wide men’s crew.
The practical upshot: if you normally wear a men’s Large, the women’s XL is usually the closer match for chest and length — the women’s cut simply removes the padding ease. When in doubt, size up; a free exchange sorts the rest (see the returns note below).
2. Women’s NFL size chart (inches)
These are the Nike Game women’s jersey measurements we stock against. Chest is measured under the arms at the fullest point; body length is from the highest shoulder point to the hem. If you’re between sizes, go up one for a relaxed game-day fit.
| Women’s size | Chest (in) | Body length (in) | Runs like men’s |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 32.5–34.5 | 25 | S |
| S | 34.5–36.5 | 25.75 | M |
| M | 36.5–38.5 | 26.5 | L |
| L | 38.5–41 | 27.25 | XL |
| XL | 41–44 | 28 | XXL |
| XXL | 44–47 | 28.75 | — |

3. Game vs Limited vs Custom in women’s cuts
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 wear. (For the stitching-and-fabric differences in plain English, our authentic vs replica guide breaks it down.)
| Tier | Women’s cut? | Fit | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game | Yes — every team | Relaxed everyday cut, tailored waist | Game day, casual wear, gifting |
| Limited | Top teams only | Slimmer athletic cut, stitched numbers | Closer-to-on-field look without top price |
| Custom Game | Yes — every team | Women’s cut you personalize | Any name & number, tailored fit |
| Elite | Men’s spec | Closest to on-field build | Collectors ( sized up or unisex ) |
The Game tier is stocked in a women’s cut for every team, so it’s the easiest way to wear your club. Limited adds stitched (sewn-on) numbers and a slimmer athletic fit, offered for the biggest stars. The Elite tier is built on the men’s specification — size up or wear it unisex — but our Custom Game jersey lets you put any name and number on a women’s-cut shirt, which is the move if you want a personalised fit.
4. How to measure yourself
Two numbers get you the right women’s size. Grab a soft tape and don’t pull it tight:
- Chest: wrap the tape under your arms at the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level across the back.
- Body length: measure from the highest point of your shoulder straight down to where you want the hem to sit — most fans like it at the hip.
- Compare both numbers with the chart above; if your chest sits between two sizes, choose the larger for a comfortable game-day fit.
- Don’t size down. Even women’s cuts carry a little ease for layering a tee underneath — a snug jersey rides up when you raise your arms.

How do women’s NFL jerseys fit compared to men’s?
Women’s cuts are tapered at the waist, shorter in the body and narrower through the shoulders than the unisex men’s jersey. For the same chest measurement they run about one size smaller, so size up if you are between sizes.
What sizes do women’s NFL jerseys come in?
Nike Game women’s jerseys run XS through XXL, covering a chest of roughly 32.5 to 47 inches; Limited is offered for the most popular teams in a similar range.
Are NFL women’s jerseys available in Limited and Elite?
The Game tier is stocked in women’s cuts for every team, and Limited is offered for the biggest stars. The Elite tier uses the men’s specification, but our Custom Game jerseys add any name and number in a women’s cut.
Can I personalize a women’s NFL jersey with my own name and number?
Yes. The Custom Game jersey is offered in a women’s cut, so you can add any name and number while keeping the tailored fit.
Do you offer free size exchanges if the fit is off?
Yes. Every order includes a free size exchange within 30 days, so you can swap for the right women’s size without paying return shipping.
