I have a question about sizing. Is an XL replica the same size as an XL EQT or Authentic?

I just want to make sure i dont get something that wont be a good fit

Thanks in advance

Replica's and EQT's are sized the same. The Authentic comes up larger (for pads) so go down a size. So XL in a replica/EQT = 50 large in an Authentic.

as much as i like the authentics its the eqt for me i prefer the weight of it to a authentic and the price is much more reasonable.something i have found though is a large eqt is slightly bigger than a medium authentic because the large eqt fits me better than a 48 medium authentic does

Although the patch ones are cool i'm getting the 75th anniv jersey

which hasn't just got a patch its a completely different jersey, with gold block numbering, no steelers logo

lemme find a link

I remember seeing the NFL 75th Anniversary Steelers throwback jerseys back in '94. Those were brutal looking. I think they were a throwback to their 1930s jerseys:

Is there a thread around here of horrible looking jerseys? I remember Sky Sports did a top 10 segment on the worst looking jerseys. I think Orlando of the old WLAF featured in there.

That's a great Idea JJ. I'll open one up in general jersey talk.

I've just bought two premier jerseys and even though I haven't received them yet, I think they're the right kind for me. I don't think I could justify paying authentic prices and even if I did, I might be afraid to wear it. However, I do like to have a bit of quality in the shirts I wear and the premier has the best of both worlds, good quality and good price.

Authentics dont have to be expensive, its just a case of looking ..... cyclops

Decided to go for an Authenic (as I dislike the tail drop!) but in a bit of a muddle over sizing. Shocked

Normal t-shirts I am 2XL, my last replica was XL but I find that too big so in replica I guess I would be large. I think a 50/52" chest across the shirt is what I need, what would this be in Authentic??

Thanks

You always drop a size in the Authentic jersey, so I'd say that if the replica XL was too big, then a size 50 should be right for you.

Checking out some Jerseys I notice that "Length + 2" appears on a few Premiers I have seen.

Is this the whole jersey or is it referring to the drop at the back??

Thanks

It's the droptail at the back mate.

Got my Jerseys today and all I can say is WOW. The difference is massive, as soon as I picked up the Authentic I could feel it miles better than the replicas I have.

I got a Brees Premier in a Large which fitted perfectly, the Bush Authentic however seems a little to big so I may have to go down to a M48 (have contacted SAS about possibly exchanging).

While the Premiers are nice, and I certainly will pick up some more at the right price, I prefer all the differences on the Authentics (Sleeves, Neck, Stitching and No tail drop!)

Certainly wont be looking at replicas as much now and just need to go and sort out some Giants Authentics!
