      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.

      Akron Zips Youth Home Jersey

      For the young supporter who already knows the lineup by heart: a Akron Zips jersey that survives both match day and the wash.

      The photos do not quite capture the depth of the Akron Zips colour. People tend to say it looks better in the flesh.

      Why supporters pick this one
      • Machine washable at 30°C — no special care required
      • Anti-pilling treatment keeps the surface looking new
      • Ships in plain packaging — suitable for gifting
      • Crest sealed at the edges so it will not lift after washing
      • Shoulder seams set forward to avoid strap friction

      Before you choose a size

      Compared with the authentic version, this has roughly two inches more in the body and a softer shoulder. It is the one supporters actually wear rather than the one they frame.

      The knit is opacity-tested under bright light, so it stays solid rather than going sheer under stadium floodlights or in photographs.

      Made for game day

      Made for the next generation of Akron Zips supporters. School colours done properly, in a cut that allows room to grow rather than one season only.

      Design accents: Youth-specific cut

      How it fits and feels

      The fit is relaxed through the chest with a little extra length, so it still fits after a growth spurt.

      Weight sits around 145gsm: heavy enough to hang properly, light enough that you forget you are wearing it by the second half.

      The crest is applied with a matte finish, so it does not catch the light the way glossy badges do.

      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

      Sizing is consistent across the NCAA range, so if you already own a Akron Zips jersey you know your size. Exact measurements are in the size guide.

      Common questions
      Is this an authentic jersey or a supporter replica?

      This is the supporter version with Smooth irritation-free heat transfer graphics, not stitched tackle-twill. It follows Youth S (8), M (10-12), L (14-16), XL (18-20) rather than player-issue proportions, which is exactly why it suits matchday wear far better than on-field use.

      How long does custom printing take?

      Custom printing adds 2–3 working days on top of standard dispatch. Everything is printed to order rather than held as stock.

      How often should I wash it?

      Every three or four wears is plenty for most people. Air it between wears rather than defaulting to machine.
