Size Guide

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Nothing kills the game-day buzz like a jersey that pulls across the shoulders or swallows you whole. This guide helps you land the right Fanroo size the first time. Instead of a generic chart that may not match how you actually like to wear things, it shows you how to measure a top that already fits you well, how each of our cuts is meant to sit, and how to decide when you fall between two sizes. If you want hard numbers for a particular style, one email gets them to you.

1. The sizes we make

Every Fanroo apparel piece, from the football jerseys to the raglan tee, comes in the same eight adult sizes:

We do not make youth sizes. If you are shopping for a younger or smaller fan, compare their favourite top with the steps below and choose the smallest adult size that works for them.

2. How to measure a top you already own

Your best sizing tool is already in your closet. Grab a top that fits the way you want your Fanroo piece to fit: a loose jersey for a jersey, a hoodie for a hoodie, a tee for a tee. Then grab a tape measure or a ruler.

1. Lay it flat. Place the top face up on a table or the floor. Smooth out wrinkles without stretching it.
2. Chest width. Measure straight across the front from one armpit seam to the other, about one inch below the armpits. This is the single most useful number.
3. Body length. Measure from the highest point of the shoulder, where it meets the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.
4. Sleeve. For sleeved pieces, measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For sleeveless basketball styles, skip this one.
5. Write them down. Note all three numbers and which top they came from.

Measure in inches or centimetres, whichever you prefer. Just tell us which one you used if you email us the numbers.

Tips for an accurate reading

• Use a top that has been washed a few times, so it reflects how it really fits now.
• Do not pull the tape tight. Let it lie flat on the fabric.
• For a hoodie, keep the hood folded behind and measure the body only.
• If you plan to wear the jersey over a hoodie on cold nights, measure the jersey you would layer, not the tee you wear under it.

3. How each Fanroo cut is meant to fit

Different sports, different silhouettes. Here is how our cuts sit on the body so you know what to expect before you compare numbers.

Football and basketball: built loose

These are cut for a big, easy shape that moves when you jump out of your seat. If you love that classic, roomy jersey look, order your usual size. If you prefer things closer to the body, compare with a top you own and consider one size down.

Hockey: the roomiest

Hockey jerseys are traditionally wide and long, and ours follow that tradition. Many fans who like a tidier look go one size down from their usual size. If you plan to wear a hoodie underneath, your usual size is a safe call.

Quarter-zip and tees: regular

These sit closer, like the everyday tops in most closets. Order your usual size. If you are between sizes, read section 4.

4. Between two sizes? How to decide

It is the most common sizing question we get. Use these tie-breakers:

• Think about layering. Wearing it over a hoodie or a long-sleeve top in the cold stands? Go with the larger size.
• Think about the look. Want the big, flowing jersey style? Larger. Want it neat and close? Smaller.
• Think about the cut. On the already-roomy hockey and football cuts, the smaller size often works. On regular-fit tees and the quarter-zip, the larger one gives more room.
• Think about length. If you are tall, body length often decides it. Compare the length of your own top carefully.
• Ask us. Email the three measurements of your favourite top and the style you want, and we will compare them with that style’s exact measurements for you.

5. Exact measurements on request

We would rather give you real numbers than a guess. Exact garment measurements for each style and size are available by email. Write to support@fanroo.shop with the product name, the sizes you are considering, and, if you like, the measurements of a top you own. We reply within 24 hours on business days.

A good sizing email looks like this: “Hi! I’m looking at the Custom Crowd Roar Chevron Football Jersey in XL or 2XL. My favourite jersey measures 25 inches across the chest and 31 inches long. Which size is closer?” That gives us everything we need to answer in one reply. If you are sizing several people, list each one with the style and their numbers, and we will go down the list for you.

6. Sizing family sets and group orders

Family and group jerseys are added to the cart one person at a time, and each line has its own size. That means Dad in 4XL, Mom in M and the oldest cousin in S can all wear the same colour with their own name and number.

1. Make a list of everyone in the set.
2. Ask each person to measure a top they like, or measure it for them.
3. Pick each size using the fit notes in section 3 for that style.
4. Add each jersey separately, with the right size, name and number on that line.
5. Before checkout, scan the cart: one line per person, every size correct.

Remember that 3XL, 4XL and 5XL add $3 per item. With no youth sizes, younger family members wear the smallest adult size that fits them. Browse the sets in Family Matching Jerseys.

7. Buying a size for a gift

Gift sizing is tricky because you cannot ask outright without spoiling the surprise. A few sneaky plays:

• Borrow their favourite top from the laundry pile for five minutes and measure it.
• Check the size label on a jersey or hoodie they wear all the time.
• Ask someone who shops with them.
• When in doubt on a jersey, the larger size is usually the safer bet, because a roomy jersey still looks right.

And if the guess misses, the 60-day returns with a free label from us have your back.

Sizing mistakes we see on game day

A few fumbles come up again and again. Dodge them and you are most of the way to a perfect fit:

• Measuring the body instead of a top. A body measurement and a garment measurement are different numbers. Our guide compares garment to garment, so measure a top lying flat, not yourself.
• Measuring all the way around. Chest width is measured across the front only, armpit to armpit. Doubling it by wrapping the tape around the top gives a number twice as big.
• Comparing a tee with a hockey jersey. If you want to know how a roomy hockey cut will sit, compare it with the loosest top you own, not a fitted tee.
• Forgetting the layer underneath. Fans in cold-weather stands often wear a hoodie under their jersey. If that is you, measure with that plan in mind.
• Guessing the whole family at once. Every person in a family set deserves their own size check. One quick measurement each saves several returns later.
• Skipping the size check in the cart. The size button is easy to tap by accident on a phone. Look at each cart line before you check out.

Quick size picks by collection

Game-Day Jerseys

Football and basketball styles in Game-Day Jerseys run loose, and the full-button baseball style is relaxed. Your usual size gives the classic big-jersey look. The Custom Scoreboard Fade Football Jersey offers optional sleeve numbers, so if you add them, picture the sleeve length on your own top.

Blank Fan Jerseys

The logo-free styles in Blank Fan Jerseys share the same cuts as their custom cousins: the football and basketball shapes are loose and the Blank Hem Stripe Hockey Jersey is the roomiest. Size them exactly as you would a custom jersey of the same sport.

Fan Hoodies & Layers

In Fan Hoodies & Layers, compare the hoodie and crewneck with a sweatshirt you own. The quarter-zip is a regular fit, so measure a jacket-style top or pullover you wear often.

Fan Tees & Caps

Tees in Fan Tees & Caps are regular fit. Measure a favourite tee and order your usual size. The cap adjusts to fit.

8. The cap

The Plain Six-Panel Fan Cap comes in one size with an adjustable strap at the back. Loosen or tighten the strap until it sits comfortably on your head. There is no size to choose.

The cap is plain, with no logo and no personalisation, so it pairs with any jersey in the shop. If the strap range does not suit you, the same 60-day return with a free label applies as for every other item.

9. If the size is not right

If your Fanroo piece does not fit, you are covered. Returns are open for 60 days, and we pay the return postage with a free return label, including change-of-mind returns. Personalised items are covered by the same 60-day returns. To swap a size, email us with your order number, the item and the size you would like, and we will explain the next steps. You can also ask for a refund, which goes out within 7 days of your return reaching us, or store credit, which never expires.
