Size, Fit & Material

Size Advice

Jerseys are designed to be worn over a t-shirt. If you wear a size M tee, go for a size M or L jersey depending on how loose you want it. Player-issue fits are slimmer than replica fits.

Fit Guide

Replica: true to size for a loose fit. Player-issue: up one size for the same effect. Retro/vintage: check the fit — some are boxier than modern cuts.

Material Advice

Dri-FIT or similar technical fabrics are standard for modern jerseys. Vintage replicas often use heavier cotton-poly blends. Check the breathability if you plan to wear it for actual sports.

2026 Style Direction

Vintage football jerseys from the 90s and early 2000s are the biggest trend in 2026. Clean, sponsor-less versions are popular. Oversized jerseys worn as a top layer over a tee or turtleneck is the dominant styling.

Who Is This For?

Football fans, streetwear enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the graphic impact of a well-designed jersey. Also useful for collectors who want accurate season reproductions.
