toddvj Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 So I got this gift certificate for NFLshops.com. I thought, since it's more or less free, I'd get an "authentic" football jersey. I usually wear XXL T-Shirts, and according to their sizing charts, that is about a 54. However, in the jersey I want, the only sizes available are 52 or 56. Anybody have any personal experience with these jerseys, and which way I should go? I am 5'10 240lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2009 I have no experience with NFL stuff but since no one answered I would go with the 56, anything to tight is aggravating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'd go that way too, dtel. You can always bulk up a little more to make the shirt look good. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm already bulky enough. I'm actually down from 255 to 240, and plan to keep losing. I hate to buy clothes thinking that I'll "shrink into them," but at the same time I don't want it to be too huge if I get down to 180-190. On the other hand, I'll probably only wear it 6-7 times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester21 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have several Carolina panther jerseys. They tend to run large. I am 6'3" 215. The XLs are almost too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylomer12 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi Todd. Get the 56. I am 5'11 235lbs and the 56 is just right. I've got pretty wide shoulders too. I guess alot of it depends on your build....I also wear XXL.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a pro at bulking up, I can do it without even trying ! [:|] You did not say muscle, that's a whole different sport, never was good at that kind of bulking.
