The semester is over and I'm making the long trek home from Indiana to Glenwood. I'm really excited to finally be able to watch every Rapids match on TV and attend a few home games. I love the new jerseys and would like to buy one only I don't know what size to get. Does the size of the jersey directly correspond with tshirt size? If I wear a L tshirt should I buy a L jersey? Any help is appreciated and I hope to see you all soon! Hopefully against the Galaxy on the 26th!
I wear a size-L tshirt but I bought the medium jersey. It fits fairly loose and for the Houston game I had no problem wearing it over another tshirt as well as a sweat shirt and a rain jacket. I believe all of the Dick's Sporting Goods stores in the state have jerseys in stock. You might be well advised to stop in and try one on. I bought mine at Dick's to show retailers that there are people who will buy MLS appearel. Depending on where your travels take you, you could buy directly from the team store at the stadium. It would also be a good excuse to go see the new grounds.
I think Adidas jerseys tend to run large. I usually wear an XL t-shirt (especially since cotton shrinks over time) but I prefer Adidas jerseys in L vs. XL. The new Rapids jerseys follow the same sizing as previous Adidas jerseys. If you wore an L before, you probably still wear an L. Try and make it to the tailgate parties in the new stadium. Class VI and Centennial Firm are doing a great job of gameday activities!
I’m not going to get to come home as I’m doing an internship in Columbus over the summer, but I do want some of the new rapids gear. I was wondering if any of you could tell me how the authentics look compared to the replicas? I’ve looked at them online, but I would like to hear from someone that has seen them up close.
