Basketball Uniform Size Chart
Custom basketball uniforms are made to order, so they cannot be swapped like off-the-shelf gear. This guide gives you the jersey and shorts size charts, shows you exactly how to measure, and explains how a Capra kit fits, so you size your team right the first time and nobody waits on a remake mid-season.
How do you measure for a basketball uniform?
Measure a jersey and a pair of shorts that already fit the player, laid flat and smooth, in inches — not the body. A jersey uses two numbers, chest and length; shorts use waist and inseam. Match those flat measurements to the charts below to pick each player’s size.
Jersey
Chest: straight across, 1″ below the armhole (the flat half-chest used in the chart). Length: highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
Shorts
Waist: across the top of the relaxed waistband, edge to edge (double it for the full waistband). Inseam: crotch seam straight down to the hem.
Basketball Jersey Size Chart
Capra basketball jerseys come in Youth, Adult/Men’s and Women’s cuts. Measure the flat chest one inch below the armhole and the length from the shoulder’s high point to the hem, then match the closest row. Between two sizes, size up for growing youth players and stay true to chart for a fitted adult cut.

Basketball Shorts Size Chart
Capra basketball shorts have an elastic drawcord waist, so each size covers a small range. Measure the flat waist across the relaxed waistband (double it for the full waistband) and the inseam from the crotch seam to the hem, then match the chart. Basketball and soccer shorts share this same sizing.
| Size | Waist IN | Inseam IN |
|---|---|---|
| Youth | ||
| YXS | 11 | 7 |
| YS | 11.25 | 7.5 |
| YM | 12 | 7.5 |
| YL | 12.5 | 8 |
| YXL | 13 | 8.5 |
| Adult / Mens | ||
| AXS | 13 | 8.5 |
| AS | 13.5 | 9 |
| AM | 14 | 9 |
| AL | 14.5 | 9.5 |
| AXL | 15 | 10 |
| A2XL | 15.5 | 10 |
| Womens | ||
| WXS | 11 | 7.5 |
| WS | 12 | 8 |
| WM | 13 | 8.5 |
| WL | 14 | 9 |
| WXL | 15 | 9.5 |
| W2XL | 16 | 9.75 |
Waist is the flat measurement across the relaxed waistband. Shorts have an elastic drawcord waist, so they fit a range around each number.
How should a basketball uniform fit?
Capra basketball uniforms are cut for play, not loose like a replica fan jersey. Youth and Adult jerseys run athletic and true to the chart; the Women’s cut is shaped a little narrower through the body with a slightly shorter length. Reversible and standard jerseys use the same flat measurements.
Because every kit is custom-sublimated to order, sizes can’t be exchanged after production, so confirm each player against the chart (or a real sizing sample) before you submit the roster. Building a full kit with warm-ups and bags? See our basketball team packages.
How should coaches size a whole team?
Sizing a roster goes fastest when you measure once and write it down as you go, then sanity-check the edge cases. Three rules keep teams out of trouble:
Basketball sizing FAQ
Is there an order minimum?
Team orders start at a 10-piece minimum. You can order a single sample first to check fit and quality before you commit the whole roster.
Are these body measurements or garment measurements?
Garment measurements, taken with the uniform laid flat. To compare to a player, measure a jersey or shorts that already fit them the same way, or measure the body and halve a full chest or waist to compare against the flat number.
Can you do custom sizes?
Yes. If a player falls outside the chart, send us their flat measurements and we will cut to fit.
Can my players try sizes before we order?
Two ways. Order a free sample — the sample is free and you only cover shipping (a straight passthrough cost). Or get the full sizing kit with every size from YXS to A2XL on a $200 deposit that is fully refunded when you return the kit.
