They are jerseys that tightly fit 18 year olds for game playing purposes, not store bought jerseys that fit 48 year old bodies. That'd be a funnier but more clear official disclaimer.

I've got three of them. They are all large. I'm not even that big, 6'2 225. And none of them are wearable.

Not to say you can't wear them but they do say that they are primarily for display purposes and not sized appropriately

They started as L or XL, XXL XXXL. Then they were tailored to leave room for shoulder pads, but no extra sleeve material, no extra around the body. Players especially linemen jerseys might as well be painted on. its stunning to look at a 3xl jersey and see how small the body cavity is when its not stretched out to near bursting.

I referred to the roster. Fairly easy to determine which Jersey what worn by each specific player using size.

Just curious. I did not bid on anything because it was a crap game against an FCS team that we almost lost. The last thing I wanted was a reminder of that game. Trying very hard to forget it, but it’s not easy.
