NFL Women's Jerseys: How to Find Your Perfect Fit

Updated September 24, 2026 · 7 min read

Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens women's Game jersey (#8) — a women's-cut NFL jersey
A women’s-cut NFL jersey is tapered at the waist and narrower through the shoulders than the unisex men’s shirt — same colours, better fit.
Quick answer: A women’s NFL jersey uses a women’s-specific cut — tapered at the waist, shorter in the body and narrower through the shoulders than the unisex men’s shirt — and for the same chest measurement it runs about one size smaller than the men’s label. Below you get a women’s size chart in inches, how the Game / Limited / Custom tiers compare in women’s cuts, how to measure yourself, and six real women’s jerseys you can order today.

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.

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.)

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:

  1. Chest: wrap the tape under your arms at the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level across the back.
  2. 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.
  3. Compare both numbers with the chart above; if your chest sits between two sizes, choose the larger for a comfortable game-day fit.
  4. 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.
