Why must Italian footballers be so form-fitting?!?!?!

[AmericanRosanero]

For my 21st birthday, my parents decided to buy me the away Palermo kit. So, I came in from the university for Easter holiday, and they give it to me!

And then I tried it on.

IT'S A BLODDY XL AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO FITTING.

I'm am so pissed/dejected/ right now... It's so pretty. The raised Lotto badge and raised U.S. Citta di Palermo crest.

God ****ing damnit all to hell!!!

>_<

;_;

[billyireland]

Erm...

Eeeeerrrrr....

W..w...what?

[SueB]

I assume he's talking about a jersey.

[serieAfan89]

can you not just exchange it for the correct size???

[AmericanRosanero]

i'm like 5'8, 200 lb. and it doesn't come close.

my brother is like... 5'10 170 lb. and it barely fits HIM.

American XL =/= European XL.

;___;

[cmblfc]

Yeah, i am 6'4 250. I have a 2XL Liverpool Jersey, and it fits awesome. But I had a 2XL Juventus DelPiero Jersey, and it didnt fit at all. I wont even attempt to buy a Napoli or a Italian NT Jersey. It will be the same thing.

[ise_bashis]

ahahahahahahahahaaa :D

[Pibe#10]

I'm 6.1" 180 lbs.
I got an Italy national jersey, XL and its tight as hell, Kappa.
I got a Roma away jersey, XL, barely fits, Kappa.
I got a Colombian national jersey, its XXL and its just right, Lotto, had a heck of a time finding this jersey tho.

For the most part Italian brands alway run smaller than the rest.

What year jersey is it?

[AmericanRosanero]

The 04/05 Away.

Oh, MAN, it was so pretty. Really light material, very breatheable. And I got to touch the raised, stiched logo of both Lotto and the shield.

-sigh-

;__;

Cheer up mate. Maybe some day there'll be a little AmericanRosaneroJr. And then your jersey will be the perfect oversized mumu for the obligatory "baby loves Palermo" photograph. Maybe?

And hey, maybe you can write a letter to the club explaining the situation, mail in the jersey, Toni might sign it, send it back, and then you could frame the thing.

[AmericanRosanero]

Oh, don't even jest like that. Something signed by Toni would be taken with me to the GRAVE.

;)

JK...

[TroisièmeRobert]

JK...

no you're not. ;)

Is this jersey you got? What material is it? If it's cotton i don't understand what the problem is, because i'm 5 10" about 190lb and a XL cotton jersey fits perfectly.
But if it's that Polyester/Elastan (stretchy materiel like the roma jersey) you might have to get 2 sizes bigger.

Um.. I thought the 04/05 one was the Black one. Is that just the alternate?

And yes, it was 100% Polyester. Do you know if they sell 100% cotton replicas?

Also, they only sell up to an XL on the offical page. ;__:

edit: this one! http://store.ilpalermocalcio.it/admin/templates/palermocalcio/images/Palermo%20Calcio/MAGLIE%20GARA/3MAGLIA_GARA_MC.gif

Uh on Palermo's offocial website it says the white one is the away jersey. But then again it says that about the black one also.

You said there 100% Polyester so that means they dont have them in cotton (companys dont like to use different fabrics for diff play jerseys).

And about the size once again i dont own a Palermo jersey yet (I'm trying to get last seasons pink one with the Sicilian flag) and can't tell you what's the biggest size they come in but, i'll take a ride to JoJo's and see what he has.

[AmericanRosanero]

OMG

if you could get a double XL with the trintica on it, I'd worship you from afar 5 times a day.

Well i went to JoJo's today and the Marmaluc still doesn't have the jerseys. Lotto has some trouble producing/shipping etc.. and the regular jerseys are kind of hard to come buy. I asked him anyways about the maximum size for the current jersey and he said he belives it's XL like you said.

But if you want last years jersey with the sponsor "Provincia di Palermo" without the +39 and the sicilian flag on it your gonna have to wait in line buddy!;)

I know some people in Palermo that said he could get me the jersey when he could find them (pretty rare) but i havn't heard back from him. Let me bug him again and i'll tell you any news i recieve.

This is the jersey i'm trying to get, you want the same?

i dont understand this. why dont you just get in touch with someone in italy and have them buy you whatever jersey youre looking for? anyway, europeal xl is american large, european large is american medium. alot of the online stores point this out. its the same as with shoe sizes.
