Women's College Jerseys
Women's college jerseys reshape rather than shrink the men's cut: narrower chest, shaped waist, shorter body. Our women's chart is shared across every league and starts at S, with the equivalent US dress size printed next to it — the dress size is usually the fastest way to find your row.
| Women's size | US dress size | Bust (in) | Bust (cm) | Waist (in) | Waist (cm) | Hip (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 4 – 6 | 33 – 35 | 84 – 89 | 26 – 28 | 66 – 71 | 36 – 38 |
| M | 8 – 10 | 36 – 38 | 91 – 97 | 29 – 31 | 74 – 79 | 39 – 41 |
| L | 12 – 14 | 39 – 41 | 99 – 104 | 32 – 34 | 81 – 86 | 42 – 44 |
| XL | 16 – 18 | 42 – 44 | 107 – 112 | 35 – 38 | 89 – 97 | 45 – 47 |
| 2XL | 20 – 22 | 45 – 48 | 114 – 122 | 39 – 42 | 99 – 107 | 48 – 51 |
Why Your Jersey Has a Number on the Tag
College and pro jerseys can carry a numeric tag — 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60 — instead of a letter. It is the same chart, not a second system: the numeric tag and the letter size describe the same chest range, which is why our men's football table lists both columns side by side.
| Numeric tag | Letter size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | S | 38 – 40 | 96 – 102 |
| 44 | M | 41 – 43 | 104 – 109 |
| 48 | L | 44 – 46 | 112 – 117 |
| 52 | XL | 47 – 49 | 119 – 124 |
| 56 | 2XL | 50 – 52 | 127 – 132 |
| 60 | 3XL | 53 – 55 | 135 – 140 |
Five Fit Mistakes College Buyers Make Most
- Reading the numeric tag as if it were the letter size. The tag sits on the same chart: 40 is S, 44 is M, 48 is L.
- Assuming every programme cuts identically. Licensees vary; the product page chart is the authority.
- Buying youth XL again instead of moving a growing teenager into adult S.
- Skipping the layering plan. College football is watched outdoors in November — buy for the hoodie.
- Treating a relaxed replica fit as a sizing error and exchanging it for something too tight.
NCAA Jerseys Follow NFL Logic, With More Noise
If you already own an NFL jersey, you are 90% of the way there. College jerseys use the same three-tier structure — a relaxed replica, a tailored mid-tier, and a slim authentic — and the same chest-based sizing.
The extra 10% is variance. College apparel is produced across several programmes and several licensees, and a medium from one school can sit a little differently from a medium at another. The chart below is the one we publish and pack to; the size chart on the product page is the tie-breaker.
| Size | Numeric tag | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Back length (in) | Back length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 40 | 38 – 40 | 96 – 102 | 29.5 | 75 |
| M | 44 | 41 – 43 | 104 – 109 | 30.5 | 77 |
| L | 48 | 44 – 46 | 112 – 117 | 31.5 | 80 |
| XL | 52 | 47 – 49 | 119 – 124 | 32.5 | 82 |
| 2XL | 56 | 50 – 52 | 127 – 132 | 33.5 | 85 |
| 3XL | 60 | 53 – 55 | 135 – 140 | 34.5 | 87 |
Standard athletic cut, men's football sizing. The complete tables — men's, women's, youth and toddler — live on our size guide page in inches and centimeters, so what you read there is exactly what we pack.
The Three Cuts
| Replica / Game | Limited | Elite / Authentic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit | Relaxed, roomy through the body | Tailored, closer to the chest | Slim, athletic, on-field cut |
| Numbers | Screen-printed | Stitched or layered twill | Stitched, on-field spec |
| Stretch | Little | Some | High-stretch side panels |
| Runs | True to size, slightly roomy | True to size | Up to one size slim |
| Buy it if | You want a comfortable gameday jersey | You want stitched details | You want the on-field garment |
Elite is where people get caught. It is cut for a body with no room to spare, and if you are between sizes you will not be able to wear a hoodie under it. Size up if layering matters to you.
Youth Sizing: Height First, Then Chest
Youth jerseys do not run on chest alone the way adult ones do. Our youth chart is built around height and age first — Youth S covers 48 to 52 inches of height for ages 6 to 8 — and the chest range widens as the height row climbs. If you are buying for a child you cannot measure in person, height is the number to ask for.
| Youth size | Numeric tag | Age | Chest (in) | Height (in) | Height (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 8 | 6 – 8 yrs | 26 – 28 | 48 – 52 | 122 – 132 |
| M | 10 – 12 | 9 – 12 yrs | 28 – 30 | 52 – 58 | 132 – 147 |
| L | 14 – 16 | 13 – 15 yrs | 30 – 32 | 58 – 63 | 147 – 160 |
| XL | 18 – 20 | 16 – 18 yrs | 32 – 34 | 63 – 67 | 160 – 170 |
The trap is the gap between the two ranges. Youth XL tops out at a 32 to 34 inch chest; adult S starts at 38. Parents who keep buying the biggest youth size end up with a garment that is still narrow across the chest and far too short in the body — and length is the first thing a growing teenager runs out of.
- Youth sizing is driven by height and age as much as by chest — match the height row first, then confirm the chest range.
- When the hem starts riding above the waistband, move to adult S, not to a larger youth size.
- Youth replica cuts are straighter through the body than adult — they do not taper.
- For a kid who is still growing, buy one size up within the youth range and let the length catch up.
Tailgate Layering
College football is played in November, in stadiums where you sit still for three hours. Plan for layers.
- One layer (tee) — your measured size.
- Two layers (tee plus hoodie) — up one size.
- Three layers (thermal, tee, hoodie) — up two sizes, or buy a replica rather than an elite cut.
- Seat cushion and a blanket — not a sizing issue, but the correct answer.
