BleedingBlue Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hey guys, I was wondering how the Nike jerseys from the 2010 Olympics fit in comparison to the edge jerseys? Iam a 46 in the reebok edge so would I be a 50 in the Nike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboys Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I would go bigger as I am a 56 in the edge and the 62 in swift they are a much tighter fitting jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah I always say go +4 in them so 50 would be my guess. I prefer 54 in jerseys and I like 58 in Swift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think the rule of thumb is take whatever size you are in the edge jersey and go two sizes up for the swifts. If your a 46 in edge then 52 in swift should be good. I'm wear a 52 in edge so 56 in swift is what I would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTheGreat Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ok, I don't have any Edge jerseys, but I'm a 48 - 52 in Starters and 48 max in 6100s. I know a guy who wears 50 Edge jerseys and 46 6100s. So wth do I do if I want an Edge or a Swift? Here's what I've come up with: If my friend is 46 6100 and 50 Edge then he should be a 54 swift according to the formula. I'm a 48 6100 so I should be a 52 Edge and a 56 Swift????? Anyone have measurements for Swifts/Edges? I know I'm good 24 pit to pit to about 26 pit to pit. Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Go up two sizes at least. I wear 52's in normal people sizes but I can't fit into a size 56 Swift at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIHFjerseycollector Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 what swift jersey do you plan on getting bleeding blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxbo1690 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I have swifts from size 54 to 62 if you want me to measure but I would go with what they said on here. 52 is medium or 48, 54 is large or 50ish, 56 is between large and XL or 52, 58 is XL or 54, 60 is XXL or 56 and 62 is a XXXL or 58 if you compare it to the old 6100s. The sleeves are more tapered though than the 6100s and possibly more than the edge They are definitely smaller fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleeves are more tapered though than the 6100s and possibly more than the edge They are definitely smaller fitting. I think a measurement for a 54 and a 56 Swift would help, if you have the chance. (Also, all the jersey manufacturers using one set universal system based on common sense, consistency, and true measurements to size their jerseys - that would help too.) I'd actually like more tapered sleeves, to be honest. I have a 6100 that has sleeves so big I could fit one of my kids into them. It's a 48 and the body fits great, but the sleeves make it look more baggy than it is. Sounds like I'll love a Swift jersey, as long as I can get the right size.

DownInFlames Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does anyone have a size chart for the 2010 Nike Swift IIHF jerseys? I'd like to see some sort of measurements to compare them to Reebok Edge 2.0 sizes. Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm looking to do a size comparison of the Nike Swift authentics, not the replicas.

SuperTheGreat Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Been a while for this thread. Since my last post here I nabbed a 2010 Swift and I'll say that the + 4 is a little low. I'd go + 6 to 6100s. Oxbo's matchups above are pretty good. My Swift is a 54 and it's ok, but I wish it was a 56. It measures almost 25 inches pit to pit. I wear a 48 in 6100s and my Swift is definitely smaller than my 6100s. The earlier comment on the sleeves is on the money, too. The sleeves definitely make the fit feel different and the Swift sleeves are really odd. Here's a pic of pit to pit measurement.

DownInFlames Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I wear a 46 in the Edge 2.0 (I think they fit a bit smaller than the Edge 1.0) so that would be roughly about a size 52 in the Swift then. I'm not familiar with the fit of the 6100s. They're "boxier" in the body and have a baggier fit in the sleeves right? What did you find odd about the sleeves on the Swift? I have a replica of the 2014 IIHF jerseys and the sleeves are tapered to the point where they almost feel like a regular sweatshirt. Is the authentic cut the same way?

AlereFlammam Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 The sleeves on the replicas for the 2014 olympic jerseys are very short compared to the authentics. I have a size 60 and the sleeves go past my hands, but a 2X replica they barely touch my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTheGreat Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) The sleeves are sewn together in panels that are pre bent at the elbow and shoulder. I assume the reason for this is for the pads players wear underneath. The replicas aren't constructed that way because they're meant for fans to wear without pads. Authentic Swift construction looks like this: Seriously, this isn't an exaggeration. The sleeves are cut and constructed exactly like that. An edge jersey's construction is like this: and has straight sleeves, like every other shirt/jersey I've ever worn. So, unless you fold your arms in front of your chest, or stand like this all day: your sleeves will look a little weird. But we are who we are and we want to wear what the players wore, so we get weird sleeves with a 2010 Swift.

DownInFlames Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's bizarre. At least it'll be a good way to prove I'm not wearing a counterfeit since I doubt some shop in China would deliberately bend the sleeves like that! Thanks for the insights and pictures.
