Do not tuck your jersey that is already longer than normal into your pants or shorts unless you are playing the game. You may be thinking; professional basketball players tuck their jerseys into their basketball shorts. This is understandable, as it helps with their game performance and prevents injury on the court.
However, you do not need to abide by the rules of the NBA. That really is the rule of thumb — if you are playing basketball, you may want it tighter so you can move and shoot more fluidly.
Anywhere else, it should be long and untucked. Now that it has been determined that basketball jersey styles are longer than other types of clothing and you should not tuck them in, you can decide how long is too long. Is your basketball jersey length down to your knees? Well, then that is too long.
Is it hanging above your belt? Then it is too short. A basketball jersey should fit longer than a normal shirt but not look like a dress. The best way to decide what size to purchase when it comes to length is to measure the length you want in inches. There are three main types of basketball jerseys: replica, swingman, and authentic NBA basketball jerseys. They all range in cost, quality, and size, with authentic being the most expensive because they are just like the players, replicas being made to look like the ones worn on the court, and swingman being the most affordable and best seller.
Most Websites have the exact inches of what their small, medium, large, and beyond equate to when it comes to chest and length. For example, listed below are some length measurements of some of the most common brands of replica, swingman, and authentic basketball jerseys in a size medium:. As you can see from the list above, the length of basketball jerseys can range depending on the type and brand you purchase.
If you measure yourself first, then you can decide how long you want your jersey to fit, what size to purchase, and what brand may work best for you. Where you are wearing it may also dictate size. The best way to find the proper fit of a basketball jersey is to use a soft measuring tape to measure in inches from the top of your shoulder to the leg area in which you would like it to hang.
That way, you can figure out which length will work best to make sure it hangs a little longer than normal clothing. It is usually better to go at least a size up. Since going a size up can be confusing, it is better to go by the numbers in inches rather than small, medium, or large since each brand and style fits differently. As long as you measure beforehand how long you want your basketball jersey to fit, you should have no problem figuring out whether Nike, Adidas, or another brand will work best.
If you also want a relaxed fit for the basketball jersey, use that same soft measuring tape, place it just under your armpits, and wrap it around your chest. Since most official brands of basketball jerseys tell you the chest and length measurements in inches, measuring your chest ensures your basketball jersey is appropriately long but too tight.
If you are set against having your basketball jersey hang long and, instead, are opting for a tighter fit, you will probably want a jersey that is the same as your normal clothing size. Just note, however, that the look of a basketball jersey is meant to be a bit baggier and longer than normal clothing and usually is worn with something underneath.
Have you ever been to the mall and had to look twice, eyebrows raised, because a man was walking with nothing on but a sleeveless basketball jersey? It is not a great look for most individuals and should only be done under specific situations.
You should purchase a jersey that is larger and longer so you can wear something underneath. What do you plan to wear underneath your jersey? If it is just a t-shirt, you can use the standard rule of purchasing a jersey that is one size larger than normal wear. If you want to wear a hoodie, however, you will need extra room for the larger-sized top underneath.
Unless it is one-hundred degrees outside, wear something underneath. You can make your basketball jersey look that much more stylish by choosing a certain shirt to wear underneath.
