Jersey & shorts mockup (sample kit)
Getting basketball uniform sizing right matters more for a team order than for a single jersey: once 10, 25 or 50+ custom basketball jerseys go into production with names, numbers and a club logo already printed on them, a wrong size can't be swapped for another the way it can with a single retail purchase. This basketball uniform size chart covers every measurement Clubkit uses to cut sublimated basketball jerseys and basketball shorts — Men and Women sizes S through 3XL, and youth basketball uniform sizes YXS through YXL — in both centimetres and inches, so a coach, club manager or parent can measure a finished garment (or a player) and land on the right size the first time. Basketball jerseys and shorts are cut loose for freedom of movement on court, which is why the chart below reads larger than a typical fitted T-shirt or streetwear size — see "How to Measure" for exactly where each number is taken from, or jump straight to the size tables.

Lay the garment flat on a table — every measurement below is taken from the finished piece, not from the body.
Lay the jersey flat on a surface. Measure straight across from one side seam to the other, at the level of the armhole. This is the full garment chest — compare it to your own body chest for the best fit.
From the very top of the back collar seam, measure straight down to the bottom hem. Basketball jerseys are designed to fall at or just below the hip.
Measure around the waistband while the shorts are laid flat and relaxed. All shorts include a full elastic waistband + drawstring that stretches generously — typically 6–8" beyond the listed measurement.
From the very top edge of the waistband, straight down the outside of the leg to the bottom hem. This is the total visible length of the shorts as worn.

YXS fits ages ~4–6 · YS fits ~6–8 · YM fits ~8–10 · YL fits ~10–12 · YXL fits ~12–14. Always measure the player's actual chest first — age is only a starting estimate, and if a player is between sizes, size up.
When in doubt, size up
Basketball jerseys are worn loose. If you are between two sizes, go up one.
Youth players grow fast
If ordering mid-season, consider going up one size to extend the life of the uniform.

Lay the custom basketball jersey flat and measure across the chest from side seam to side seam at armhole level — that is the garment chest value shown in our size chart. Your body chest should be 1–3" smaller than the garment chest for a comfortable athletic fit. For personalized basketball jerseys and team uniforms, when in doubt always order one size up. Our team also reviews every order before production and flags any potential sizing issues.
For youth basketball jerseys, use our Youth section above (YXS to YXL). Measure the player's chest and cross-reference with height and age as a secondary check. Because kids grow fast, we recommend sizing up by one when ordering youth basketball uniforms mid-season or for a full-year program. YXS fits ages ~4–6, YS fits ~6–8, YM fits ~8–10, YL fits ~10–12, and YXL fits ~12–14. If your player is between sizes, always go larger.
The Outseam is the total length of the basketball shorts measured from the top of the waistband straight down the outer leg to the bottom hem — this is the measurement shown in our basketball shorts size chart. The Inseam is measured from the crotch seam to the hem and is shorter. We use Outseam because it is the easiest to self-measure on a finished garment and gives the most accurate picture of overall short length as worn on the court.
Yes. For bulk basketball uniform orders and team basketball jerseys, all standard sizes (S through 3XL for adults, YXS through YXL for youth) are priced identically — no surcharge for larger sizes. Our all-inclusive pricing covers names, numbers, and your team logo. Custom basketball uniforms start at 10 pieces and pricing tiers automatically drop as your quantity increases. See our pricing table for the full breakdown.
Absolutely. Our Sample Kit option lets you order a single custom basketball jersey or full uniform to verify the fit, fabric quality, print accuracy and sizing before committing to the complete team order. This is especially useful for basketball club uniforms where you need to confirm sizing across a mixed-age roster. Select "Sample Kit" when starting your order.
Yes. If your roster includes players who need sizes outside our standard range — smaller than YXS, larger than 3XL, or a specific cut for women's basketball uniforms — contact us before ordering and we will guide you to the best solution. We work with teams of all levels from recreational leagues to competitive travel programs.
