FANGEAR PRO SIZE GUIDE

The right size, the first time. All charts below use international standard body measurements — in inches and centimeters — covering jerseys, shorts, jackets, hoodies, and pants across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, and Soccer.

1. HOW TO MEASURE

Take these measurements over a thin t-shirt (never bulky outerwear), standing relaxed. Use a soft measuring tape.

1. Chest (Most Important)

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, directly under the armpits. Keep the tape level with the floor and do not puff your chest out.

2. Waist

Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso, typically above the belly button. Key for shorts and pants.

3. Hips

Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and glutes. Crucial for track pants and basketball shorts.

4. Body Length

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (beside the collar) straight down to where you prefer the bottom hem to rest.

5. Sleeve Length

For long-sleeve kits, windbreakers, and jackets: measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist with your arm slightly bent.

6. Inseam (Pants)

Measure from the crotch point straight down to your ankle bone along the inner leg seam to find your ideal pant length.

2. FIT BY LEAGUE (OVERVIEW)

Each major sports league designs jerseys with its own distinct traditional silhouette.

League	Cut Style	How It Should Feel & Sizing Advice
Soccer	Athletic / Supporter Slim	Close to the body. If you are between sizes or prefer a loose Blokecore streetwear look over t-shirts, size up one.
NBA Basketball	Standard / Elongated	Relaxed through chest and torso with an extended back hem. True to size; size up if layering over hoodies.
NFL Football	Roomy / Boxy Tailgate Cut	Classic oversized game-day cut with broader shoulders. Plenty of room for hoodies. Order true size or size down for a tailored look.
MLB Baseball	Full / Button-Front	Relaxed traditional baseball profile with curved droptail hem and extra chest room. True to size; fits easily over base layers.
NHL Hockey	Very Loose / Generous	The roomiest cut of all leagues. Wide across the torso with wide sleeves. Never size up; order your normal t-shirt size.

14. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SIZING

What if I'm not sure which size to order?

Order the size you think fits best, then simply send your height, weight, and chest measurements via email to fangearprohelp@outlook.com. Our specialists will check your physical stock measurements before dispatch and calibrate your size if needed.

I am between two sizes — which should I choose?

When in doubt, always size up. A slightly roomier jersey provides better airflow, supreme matchday comfort, and allows effortless layering over t-shirts or hoodies. A jersey that is too tight rarely gets worn.

Do the jerseys shrink after washing?

No. Our jerseys are crafted from premium technical polyester mesh that is dimensionally stable and pre-shrunk. As long as you wash in cold water (30°C / 85°F) and air dry naturally, shrinkage is under 1%.

Can I wear an NFL or NHL jersey over a hoodie?

Yes! NFL and NHL jerseys are traditionally cut roomy and boxy specifically for cold-weather layering. Your normal t-shirt size will easily accommodate a standard hoodie. If you wear an extra-heavyweight fleece hoodie, consider stepping up one size.

Product Overview

Across the MLS season, the conference race and the Supporters' Shield make every fixture count. Up close the 1978 build rewards inspection — weighty colour, a clean trim line, and a finish that survives the wash.

This follows the original design language rather than today's template — an older badge, an older cut, and a generous drape. A piece for supporters who prefer the older proportions to today's trim line.

Pre-shrunk fabric stays true to size after a cold wash and a natural dry.
Micro-perforated mesh panels move air across the torso, so heat has somewhere to go.
Double-needle hems add durability at the sleeve and body openings.
Colour-fast dye keeps its depth through repeated cycles instead of fading early.

Edition & Printing Details

A period-accurate reproduction of the original design, sold as pictured. Custom name-and-number printing is not included on this listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this jersey fit? +

Vintage replicas often follow the boxier, roomier silhouettes of their era, so expect a slightly fuller fit than a modern shirt. Check the measurements if you prefer a contemporary cut.

What is the best way to wash and care for this shirt? +

Wash cold and inside out on a gentle cycle, skip the fabric softener, and hang to dry. Heat is the enemy of applied detailing, so keep the iron off the print.

What are the shipping and return terms? +

We dispatch with tracked, insured standard delivery, usually 7-15 business days in transit. Orders of $57 or more ship free; below $57 a flat $7 delivery fee applies. Returns and exchanges are free within 30 days — zero restocking fees.

What if the jersey does not fit? +

Not the right fit? You have 30 days for a free size swap with zero restocking fees — reach out to our support team and we will sort the exchange quickly.
