Now, I gotta be honest, Adidas sizing can be a bit… wonky. Like, one year I swear I’m a medium, next year it’s a large? What’s up with that, Adidas?! Anyway, the official Adidas site *should* have a size chart. I saw some dude say “Find your adidas Men – Soccer – Replica at adidas.com” But like, who actually *reads* those things properly? I usually just skim ’em, hoping for the best.
From what I *think* I understand, and I could totally be wrong here, it mainly comes down to your chest measurement. (See the provided image) Like, grab a measuring tape, wrap it around the widest part of your chest (under your arms, obviously), and see what number you get. Then compare that to the chart on their site. It’ll probably be in inches, but some of those “unofficial” size charts floating around might have centimeters too.
Speaking of those “unofficial” charts… they can be helpful, but take ’em with a grain of salt. I saw one that had Meyba stuff too, which is cool if you’re into that vintage vibe, but probably not what you’re looking for if you want an Adidas replica shirt. I mean, unless you’re some kind of hipster soccer fashion guru. (No judgement if you are!).
Here’s my totally unprofessional, completely subjective opinion: if you’re between sizes, I’d say go a size up. Replica jerseys tend to be a bit more fitted, and honestly, who wants to feel restricted when you’re jumping up and down screaming at the TV? Nobody, that’s who. Plus, a slightly bigger jersey is way more comfortable for, you know, actual *playing* soccer. Not that *I* actually play much anymore… my knees aren’t what they used to be. *sigh*
And hey, if all else fails, order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit! It’s a hassle, yeah, but better than being stuck with a jersey you can’t wear. Just make sure you check the return policy first, alright? Nobody wants to be stuck with a shirt that’s too small *or* too big.
