First off, Adidas is a huge name, no brainer. They’re all about making stuff for pros *and* us regular folks who just wanna rep our favorite team (or player, let’s be real). The XS thing is mentioned, which is cool, but mostly for the *tiny* folks, I guess?
Now, the *actual* sizing info… this is where it gets a bit janky. The article mentions an “Adidas replica” chart only going up to XXL, which is a bummer if you’re, like, me and need bigger sizes sometimes. And it’s only got two sizes, Small(40) and Medium(44). Where’s the rest of the chart? Seriously, come on!
Okay, so what to do?
The general advice is good: if you like a looser fit, go a size up. I’m personally a fan of the oversized look myself. But, like, how *much* bigger are we talking? This is so unclear!
And here’s the real kicker: The chart mixes Nike *authentic* sizes with Adidas *replica* sizes. What’s the deal?! Authentic jerseys are usually cut differently, more fitted, I think. Replicas are, generally, looser, more “fan-friendly”. So, like, comparing them directly is kinda…apples and oranges. Maybe don’t use it, just a suggestion.
My gut feeling? If you can, go to a store and try one on. Seriously. That’s always the best bet. If that’s not an option (hello, online shopping!), use a measuring tape and see what your chest size is. Then, find an *actual* Adidas replica jersey size chart online. Don’t rely on this mixed up info here. And hey, if you’re between sizes, go up. Better a little big than too tight, right? You can always tuck it in (maybe? probably not with a basketball jersey lol).
