      1. How to Measure

      Take these measurements over a thin t-shirt (never 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 parallel to the floor and don't puff your chest out.

      2. Waist

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

      3. Hips

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

      4. Body Length

      Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to where you want the hem to sit.

      5. Sleeve Length

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

      6. Inseam (Pants)

      Measure from your crotch straight down to your ankle bone along the inside of your leg to find your ideal pant length.

      2. Fit by League (Overview)

      Each major sports league designs jerseys with a distinct traditional silhouette.

      League Cut Style How It Should Feel & Fit Advice
      Soccer Athletic / Slim Close to the body. If you are between sizes or prefer a streetwear look over t-shirts, size up.
      NBA Basketball Standard / Long Relaxed through chest and shoulders with an elongated hem. True to size; size up if layering over hoodies.
      NFL Football Roomy / Boxy Classic oversized game-day cut with broad shoulders. Plenty of room for hoodies. Order true size or size down for tailored fit.
      MLB Baseball Full / Button-Front Relaxed traditional baseball cut with extra room in chest. True to size; fits comfortably over casual layers.
      NHL Hockey Very Loose / Generous The loosest cut of all leagues. Wide through body with extra-long sleeves. Never size up; order true 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 us your height, chest, and waist measurements via email to jerseycare@outlook.com. Our specialists will check your dimensions before dispatch and ensure you receive the right fit.
      I am between two sizes — which should I choose?
      When in doubt, always size up. A slightly roomier jersey is comfortable, breathable, and easy to layer over t-shirts or hoodies. A jersey that is too tight rarely gets worn.
      Do jerseys shrink after washing?
      No. Our jerseys are made of premium recycled technical polyester mesh which is dimensionally stable and pre-shrunk. As long as you wash in cold water (30°C) and hang dry, shrinkage is less than 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 this game-day look. Your normal t-shirt size will easily accommodate a standard hoodie. If you wear an extra-thick fleece hoodie, consider going up one size.

      Before you choose a size

      Worth knowing before you buy: player versions are cut slim for the pitch and look wrong on the street. This one uses the supporter block — room through the chest, a little more length, sleeves that finish above the elbow.

      Sweat moves through the knit instead of sitting on it, which is the difference between comfortable and clammy after an hour in the sun.

      Made for game day

      A proper Illinois Fighting Illini piece for young fans — right for school spirit days, weekend training and watching the match with family.

      Design accents: Orange base colourway, Youth-specific cut

      How it fits and feels

      Cut for movement rather than for show — nothing pulls when they run, jump or climb.

      Mesh panelling is positioned along the flank and under the arm where heat actually builds.

      Inside seams are overlocked rather than raw, so nothing frays into the wash.

      Where you will wear it

      Light enough for indoor sports halls and warm enough under a jacket on the touchline.

      Care and washing

      A short spin cycle is enough. The fabric holds very little water, so it dries quickly without aggressive spinning.

      Shipping, sizing and returns

      Free shipping on orders over $57 · Flat $7 shipping below $57 · Dispatched in 7-15 business days · 30-day free returns

      True to size with a relaxed fit. If you are between two sizes, go down for a closer fit or up if you plan to layer. Full measurements are on our size guide page.

      Common questions
      What is the difference between Home, Away and Third kits?

      Home is the primary colourway worn at Illinois Fighting Illini's own ground, Away is the alternative for away fixtures, and Third is the occasional secondary release. All share identical Ultra-soft lightweight breathable polyester and fit.

      Is there a limit on how long a custom name can be?

      Twelve characters is comfortable. Anything longer still prints but is resized to fit the back panel width.

      Does the colour fade over time?

      Dye loss is slow with cold water. Warm cycles are what accelerate fading — more than sunlight, in most wardrobes.
