Default Adidas Shirt Sizing Compared To Nike.

Do adidas shirts still "fit" bigger than Nike shirts. Would an Adidas small feel a bit larger than a Nike small?

Does anyone have the Long Sleeved Manchester United kit from this year? As in the away? It seems there sizing varies from year to year. So does anyone know how long the sleeves will run on a long sleeved jersey? Its just that I'm going to order it online and it dosnt say the length of the arms. Normally I would go with a large but I like the feel of mediums, I just don't want it to be to short at the arms.
Thanks.

I own two Lotto shirts, both run true to size. If I had any other comment about Lotto, I guess I'd say the cut is better than Nike and Adidas--I'm pretty skinny, and sometimes Adidas and Nike jerseys feel a little voluminous on me, even in my correct size.

just going to bump this so i don't have to make a new thread...

opinions on kappa?
diadorra?

only jerseys i have thus far are nike , puma, adidas... i've really wanted to get a kappa shirt, and a couple diadorra ones have appealed to me.

i am a whore with rep, so you will be justly rewarded... enticing, i know.

Well, I've got one each of Kappa and Diadora (both from last season), so I guess that qualifies me to answer again. Both are high quality, but as most of us know, Kappa runs at least a size small. I know that some people have knocked Diadora in other jersey threads, but I like mine a lot. The material feels great and the fit is spot on for me.

i'd rep you again, but rules are against it...

but, you'd compare a kappa medium to an adidas small i take it? i knew it ran small, but was unsure of how much.

i usually stick with a medium... was going to buy a kappa medium, but i'm thinking that i better wait til the large gets in stock

Here's your answer: Kappa jerseys runs 2 sizes small. I wear size medium in Adidas (I have 3 replicas plus many plain jerseys and they're all medium for a perfect fit) and I have 5 Kappa jerseys and they are all size XL for a perfect fit (I own 3 Roma jerseys: white and black short sleeve from last season and a black long sleeve from this season, plus 2 long sleeve jerseys they call combat clone and those are actually kind of tight in my armpits but otherwise perfect).
