    I want to order a Owens Eagles jersey but i have no idea how sizes translate to sizes we have over here.

    For example i wear an XL Ireland Footy jersey so what size do i go for for the Eagles Jersey? Anyone have any experience with these?

    I see they go all the way from M to XXXXL

    So its kinda confusing :D

    A large would fit you about the same as an XL ireland jersey i'd say but you may as well go for an XL one so its not like an italian soccer jersey :D.

    Well considering how big American sizes are,to accomodate the 'bigger man',your XL footy jersy is prob a M in those jerseys,haha!!!

    Ahh no only messin,sorry had to say it!!!

    You wouldn't be far off though to tell you the truth.

    I can give you an idea in rugby sizes;

    A Canterbury size is usually 2 smaller than the corresponding American Footer.

    My L AmFoot Jersey's are about as big as my da's XXL Rugby ones.

    I went with L in the end, so here's hoping it fits :D

    It certainly wont be too small anyway. Pity you didnt pick a better jersey though :D

    Less of that! :D

    I like controversial players who are good,

    In all sports :D

    Arrived insanely fast from the USA and its a little big, nothing major but a M would have done fine.

    Still fits ok just might have to wear something extra under it :D

    Thanks for the help

    Always go a size smaller if you're ever getting an authentic jersey too. They're huge.

    where did you buy the shirt from?

    did customs or An Post try to charge you extra duty?

    is there anywhere over here you can get jerseys?

    I ordered it direct from the Packers.com shop when it was on sale (the time they were changing from Nike to Reebok). I got it delivered but didn't have to pay any extra apart from the delivery that the site quoted.

    I've not seen authentic jersies for sale over here anywhere. To be honest I wouldn't bother anyway; the sleeves are made for pads so are a weird shape and it's like wearing a duffle coat it's that heavy. Very uncomfortable.

    i bought a replica Jets shirt in NY a few years ago but its WELL worn by now.....shame, i love that shirt!

    thanks for the info dude, had heard bad thangs about import duty from the states!

    let me guess, Favre shirt?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭Padwick


    Nope I had a Favre home replica and the 1930's Thanksgiving replica. That's the worst thing, I got Levens on it and a few weeks later Green got his act together and Levens was gone.
