Sizing & Fit

  • Compare collar tag font and spacing

Common Questions

Jersey Buying Guide FAQ

Is stitched or heat-pressed better?

Stitched is more durable and looks more premium. Heat-pressed can peel over time, especially if washed hot.

How do I check number alignment?

Ask for a photo with the jersey laid flat. Numbers should sit centered on their grid line and be level with each other.

Are vintage jerseys worth buying?

Yes — vintage designs often have simpler construction, making flaws less obvious. They also pair well with modern streetwear.

Do jerseys run large?

Most are designed for athletic fits and can run long. If you want a streetwear drape, size up once or even twice.
