FAQ
Q: How do I know if this size will fit me?
A: Check the "Armpit to armpit" measurement in the description above and compare it to a shirt you already own that fits well — this is the most reliable way to judge fit, since sizing has varied across seasons and manufacturers.
Q: How do you guarantee this shirt is authentic?
A: Every shirt is carefully inspected — crest, logos, seams, fabric — and checked against its individual code before listing. We guarantee the authenticity of everything we sell.
Q: What if the size doesn't fit?
A: You have 14 days to email us at contact@aurafootballshirts.com with your order number. Items must be returned in their original condition; return shipping is at your cost, and refunds are processed within 14 business days.
Q: Why does the sizing on vintage football shirts feel different from modern jerseys?
A: Vintage football shirts (particularly from the 1990s and 2000s) were cut looser and boxier than today's slim-fit jerseys, so a size that matches your usual modern jersey can run larger on a vintage shirt. We recommend comparing the "Armpit to armpit" measurement above to a shirt you already own, rather than relying on the size label alone.
