I don't understand what these numbers correspond to in the sizing chart? Is it the average of the sizes? I'm a little confused

Looking at buying my first NHL jersey. Have seen on this subreddit that the Adidas jerseys were usually preferred over the Fanatic jerseys. However this sizing is confusing me. According to the picture from the NHL shop website below, a 3XL in Adidas only has a 27.5 inch chest width? That seems outrageously small, the size for the Fanatic jersey seems normal/typical of a 3XL size. I did have issues with Adidas soccer jerseys not fitting over my shoulders and chest before, so I'm tempted to believe the chart and just buy a Fanatic jersey. It just seems odd that the chest measurement on the Adidas would be almost half the size of the Fanatic jersey, so I wanted to check if anyone has experience with both brands.

I just received a Fanatics NHL jeresy. It's a XL and I wanted it more fitted. Would going down to a L be too small? I'm 5' 10 around 225lbs. I typically wear XL shirts, and even in Nike NFL jeresy I wear a XL and love the fit. I know hockey jerseys are typically bigger fitting.

I just worry I'm going to send it back for a L size and it be too small. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm going to ask for VGK jersey for Christmas. It will be my first ever hockey jersey, so I'm a n00b. I am however, an avid football and baseball jersey collector. Mediums always fit me in those sports jerseys. I assume hockey would be the same, but based on what research I've done it's inconclusive.

Can anyone tell me how Fanatics jerseys fit, small, TTS, or big?

Measurements

Most team stores have their jerseys available this morning.

Looking to buy my first nhl authentic jersey. Torn between a 46 and a 50.

I usually buy medium shirts. Some stats:

5’8” 155-160 lbs Chest = 39 inches (suit measurement) 32-33 waist 15” neck 32/33 dress shirt sleeve length

The sizing chart is a little confusing for online.

Recently bought a size M NFL Vapor jersey and would say it’s baggy. Maybe a tad longer than I would like.

Thanks, I know this is annoying. Using a fanatics promo and don’t want to get the wrong size.

Quick question... Anyone with both know whether a Fanatics Breakaway Large fits similar to Adidas Authentic 52 Large? OR If I wear a Fanatics Large should I get an Adidas Authentic 50 M? Thank you for your time!

Just thought I would share this so people have it as the transition from Addidas to Fanatics happens. Jersey sizes are a bit different so I hope it saves a headache for someone. Got it off the NHL thread.
