UB2SF Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Here in Northern California, there aren't many brick-and-mortar stores for buying Bills merchandise, so I'm about to buy a McGahee replica jersey on-line, without the ability to try it on for size. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest the right size to buy. I'm 5'11", 160 pounds with a thin waist but broad shoulders. The last time I bought a replica jersey was about 5 years ago when Puma was making them (and I was about 30 pounds heavier than I am now), I bought a Large, and I'm totally swimming in it. Now that Reebok is making them, I'm wondering if I should go with a Medium or a Large. Or, depending on how the sizes are listed on-line, a 48 or a 50. Any suggestions based upon experience?

CoachChuckDickerson Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 So go to a store and try on any replica jersey. Doesn't have to be Bills. If you live in the sticks, judging by the weight, I'd go with medium.
BillsNYC Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Why don't you just go to a store by you and try on any reebok jersey?
UB2SF Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 Why don't you just go to a store by you and try on any reebok jersey? 278518[/snapback] Because that would likely require me to have Raiders or Niners apparel touching my bleed-Bills-blue skin! Seriously, mostly because I'm too busy with life (and with The Stadium Wall!).

Oh, and go eat a cheeseburger or something... you're making us look bad.
jester43 Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 i am about 160 and the large is way too big. my next jersey will be medium.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Sizing is a joke...I bought a 5X hockey jersey from Stahl & Dean. I figured a 5X would give me enough room for my goalie equipment and still be loose. Well, when I got it, it was barely a 2X!!! PTR
