T-Shirts Sizing Guide: Get the Perfect Team Fit

Nothing derails a team order like shirts that fit wrong, so getting your custom t shirts sized correctly is worth a few extra minutes up front. A shirt that is too tight gets left in the bag, and one that is too baggy looks sloppy in team photos. This guide helps you measure once and order with confidence so every player gets a fit they will actually wear.

Measure the Body, Not the Old Shirt

The most reliable method is to measure each person’s chest width and body length, then match those numbers to the size chart on the product page. It is tempting to just grab a worn-out favorite shirt and copy its size, but that shirt has already stretched and shrunk through dozens of washes, making it a poor reference. Real measurements beat guesswork every time.

• Measure the chest at its fullest point, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
• Measure body length from the shoulder seam straight down to the desired hem.
• Compare both numbers to the chart instead of assuming a usual size.

Youth Versus Adult Cuts

Youth and adult shirts are not simply scaled versions of each other; the proportions differ, particularly in body length and shoulder width. For mixed-age teams, have younger players use youth sizing and pay special attention to tweens, who often sit right at the crossover point. When in doubt for that age group, check both charts side by side.

Accounting for Fit Preference

Some players like a relaxed, roomy drape while others want a closer, fitted look. Before you finalize the order, ask each person which they prefer and size up or down within the chart accordingly. Capturing this preference up front avoids a wave of swap requests after the shirts arrive.

Handling Borderline Sizes

When someone falls between two sizes, sizing up is usually the safer call for a shirt that will be washed repeatedly all season. A slightly roomy shirt remains comfortable as it settles, while a too-tight one only gets less wearable over time.

Ordering a Few Spares

Add a couple of extra shirts in your most common sizes. They quietly cover new players, lost shirts, and the occasional measuring miss, and they are far cheaper than a rush re-order later. For other layers, check the long sleeve tee and performance tee charts too, since those cuts can run differently.

The smoothest way to gather sizes is to let players submit their own measurements through a shared sheet rather than relying on memory at a busy practice. Give everyone a simple instruction: measure chest and length, compare to the chart, note your preference for roomy or fitted, and enter the result. Setting a firm deadline keeps stragglers from holding up the order. For younger players, ask a parent to do the measuring so the numbers are accurate. This small bit of structure removes almost all of the guesswork that leads to swap requests later, and it gives you a clean record you can reuse next season instead of starting the whole process from scratch.

Keep that completed size sheet somewhere safe once the order ships. It becomes a ready-made reference for next season, for replacement shirts, and for any new players who join, saving you from running the whole measuring exercise again. A little record-keeping at the end of one order makes the start of the next one almost effortless.
