got my last saturday from the club shop , did a school boy error and didnt try it on and it was a large . i advise EVERYBODY to try it on before you buy especially if you like a good old pint ! as it feels like a condom and its skin tight-ish . got to send it back to get a bigger size fp.gif
Damn.. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive and I also ordered a large.. Maybe should have gone for an XL. Still, we shall see..
all depends on your body shape ! its like they expect football fans to be built like a pro athlete
Skin tight like Kappa?
not as tight , but its weird , it goes tight across the stomach . like it goes down .. sort of like this dot drawing ...

Huh. That's odd, in the past I've found Adidas shirts to run bigger than their listed size (i.e. an Adidas XL is significantly bigger than, say, a Nike XL.
exactly , thats what i thought !! unless im the only one getting this problem . adidas are usually a perfect fit

Weirdly perfect description. It's entirely true - also stretches the sponsor a bit.

haha , only way to describe it !
I have many Adidas shirts and they fit like a charm. Oh well, caveat emptor.

I've got the same problem. Tried mine on the day it arrived (with label on, just incase it wasn't perfect, I can just exchange it) felt alright. Put my big winter coat underneath (so I can see what it would feel like come December) felt alright. Then the day after, when I went to the SUtton United game, it felt smaller than it did
i have no idea what size to change it to , now you said that. as you've got a xl haven't you ? . bloody hell why's everything so difficult

It looks like it tapers in towards the waist. Kind of matches my Greek god-like torso. :008:
It will probably go very well with your Speedos!!

I was thinking about getting the training top, has anybody bought one of those yet. I like to wear a Halle Hanson long sleeved so wondered what the sizing is like. I prefer baggie so usually go for a large
What's the XXL like?
I might have to go for the FB (Fat B*stard).
I can't blame the beer...I chose to drink it.
I bought the training Tshirt in large and it is slightly tighter on the body than general adidas Tshirts.
Strangely, the L/sleeve track top in large was huge on me and I went for a medium which was ok with just a Tshirt under.
Unusually confusing for adidas.

I personally have to go with the Asian god Buddha when referring to my own torso. XL for me then
Wasn't the young Budda thin and good looking though!
Got mine yesterday and as Sammy says it's (the large size) like a tight fitting body condom. Might have to go XL or XXL. Very unusual for an Adidas shirt to get it wrong. Aside from that, I think it looks great..
On a positive note, the polo shirt fits well.

its a replica football shirt. IE. a replica of the ones worn by pro Athletes
I feel like a scrawny little runt then in an 'M', with all these X's being thrown around..
I'd like to be scrawny
Here in London on vacation with my family so I bought mine from the club store today. Although there's no fitting room, I'm glad I tried it on in the store. I'm normally a large for most everything, but in this case the large was pretty tight. Not so much in the waist (though if I had any belly it would have been) but a bit in the shoulders. I'm 5'10" and weigh 172 lbs so use that as your guide. If you lift weights a little bit and are in decent shape you will likely need to set up one size.
Glad I was able to try one on vs. having to mail it back from So. Cal.
