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.

Looking to buy my first jersey and as someone who is between two sizes I'm not sure which way to go. I've read that hockey jersey's tend to be baggier so I'm thinking I should go with the smaller size so I'm not swimming in it. How did you find the sizing to be?

TIA!

With Kreider jerseys on a deep sale now, I'm planning to pick one up before they go out of stock. Before I do, I'm wondering people's thoughts on the Premium vs. Breakaway Fanatics jerseys, both in term of value and fit.

I got a Zuccarello Adidas Authentic in size 50 because I wear Medium shirts, but I kind of swim in it, and it's quite long on me (I'm only 5'8"). This makes it kind of strange to wear, outside of when I'm actually going to a game. Given that, I'm wondering if I should go down a size to 46 and get a Premium, or if I should get just get the cheaper Breakaway jersey, if the cut of it is slimmer. I know the Premium is said to have much better quality and is only a bit more expensive, but I first and foremost want something I can actually wear around.

Feel free to remove if this is not Rangers-related enough.
