Football Jersey FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about American Football Jerseys
Whether you're a player, a parent, or a coach – this page answers the most common questions about football jerseys. From sizing and fit to materials, padding, and team gear – here’s everything you need to know.
What’s the difference between a game jersey and a practice jersey?
Game jerseys are designed for competitive play. They fit tightly to reduce grab points and usually feature reinforced shoulders, double stitching and durable materials. Practice jerseys are looser, breathable, and lightweight – made for daily drills and training.
Can I use a practice jersey during a game?
For scrimmages, flag football, or informal matches – yes. But for official league games (e.g., GFL, ELF), you’ll need a regulation game jersey with correct numbering, visibility, and design.
What does “pad-compatible” mean?
All our jerseys are made to be worn over shoulder pads. That includes:
- Wider cuts to fit full pad sizes
- Large enough neck openings for pads or neck rolls
- Reinforced seams to handle pressure from pads
How do I choose the right size?
Jerseys come in sizes from S to 5XL:
- Practice jerseys fit wide – order your normal size
- Game jerseys fit tight – size up if you have bulky pads
- Youth sizes available – just ask if unsure
Pro tip: measure your chest circumference over your pads and check the size chart.
Are long-sleeve jerseys available?
Yes – we offer both short and longer sleeve models.
What is mesh and why is it useful?
Mesh is a breathable, open fabric – ideal for training, keeping you cool and light. Many jerseys use mesh in the back or underarm areas to improve airflow.
What materials are used in football jerseys?
Our jerseys use performance fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex. Common combos include:
- Polyester mesh: lightweight and breathable
- Spandex: stretchable and tight-fitting
- Dazzle nylon: shiny, strong – often used on shoulders
Can I print my jersey with a name or number?
Blank practice jerseys can be customized. For teams, we offer fully customized game jerseys with:
- Numbers, names, logos
- Custom color combinations
- Game-ready specs for official leagues
See our Teamwear page for more info.
What color options are available?
We offer jerseys in many team colors: black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, grey and more. Availability depends on model – filters on the product page help narrow it down.
Are these jerseys good for flag football?
Yes! Practice jerseys are ideal for flag football because they’re:
- Lightweight and flexible
- Affordable for team sets
- Compatible with belts, pop flags or air buckles
Do you offer team discounts?
