Buying one jersey is simple. Buying four or five at once, for two adults and a couple of kids, is where sizing mistakes creep in. Different charts, different measurements, growing children and a deadline like a home opener all add up. This guide walks through a family order step by step, using the size chart published on our custom Charlotte 49ers jersey listing.
Start with a list, not the cart
Before you open any product page, write down every person you are ordering for, with three columns next to each name: men’s, women’s or youth; their measurements; and the name and number they want. Filling in that list first keeps you from guessing while the cart is open.
Measuring everyone the same way
The easiest method is to measure a shirt each person already likes rather than the person:
- Lay the shirt flat on a table and smooth it out.
- Measure straight across the chest from armpit to armpit, then double it for the full chest.
- Measure the length from the top of the shoulder down to the hem.
- Write both numbers in inches next to the person’s name.
Measuring a favorite shirt captures how each person actually likes clothes to fit, which a tape around the body cannot tell you.
Reading the three charts
Men’s sizes
The listing gives chest and back length in inches:
- Small: chest 40, back length 30
- Medium: chest 44, back length 31
- Large: chest 47 1/2, back length 31 5/8
- X Large: chest 51, back length 32 1/2
- XX Large: chest 55, back length 33 1/4
- XXX Large: chest 58, back length 34
Women’s sizes
The women’s chart uses chest, waist and hip instead of back length. For example, Small lists chest 32-35, waist 26-29 and hip 35-38; Medium lists chest 38, waist 29-31 and hip 38-41; Large lists chest 41, waist 31-34 and hip 41-44. Compare all three measurements, and if they point to different sizes, go with the larger one for a jersey.
Youth sizes
Youth sizes are labeled by age range: Small (8), Medium (10-12), Large (14-16) and X Large (18-20). Small lists chest 33 and back length 23; Medium lists chest 36 and back length 25. For a growing child, choosing the size whose age range the child is still moving into can help the jersey last more than one season.
Options to choose for each person
Each jersey on the listing has three choices:
- Gender: Men, Women or Youth.
- Size: S, M, L, XL, 2XL or 3XL.
- Color: Green, Green Alternate or White.
For family photos, pick one color for everyone. White makes custom names easy to read in pictures; green matches the home crowd.
Names and numbers for a family set
The listing asks you to leave the name and number in a message at checkout, or email the store after ordering. For a family order, one tidy message avoids mix-ups:
- Men’s L, White: DAD / 1
- Women’s M, White: MOM / 2
- Youth M, White: SAM / 10
Popular family themes include everyone wearing the family surname with different numbers, nicknames on the back, or birth years as numbers.
Planning around delivery time
If the jerseys are for a specific game, check timing before you order. The listing states a production time of 2 to 3 days and a shipping time of up to 12 to 20 business days, counted from the day the order ships rather than the day it is placed. It also notes that online tracking is available. For a family set tied to a date, ordering well ahead of that date is the safest plan.
A quick family-order checklist
- Every person listed with men’s, women’s or youth.
- Measurements taken from a shirt that fits them well.
- Sizes matched to the right chart.
- One color chosen for the group.
- Names and numbers written out exactly, ready for the checkout message.
- Delivery time checked against your game date.
Ready for kickoff together
A family in matching Charlotte jerseys is a great sight in the stands, but only if every jersey fits. Take ten minutes to measure, match each person to the right chart, and send one clear message with the names. You can also browse the full Charlotte 49ers jersey collection if anyone in the family would rather wear a player’s name.
