Why is size L the biggest collection by size?

It is simply the most common label across decades and brands in the stock we hold.

Can I trust the L label to match a modern L?

Not reliably, since older cuts especially run differently, so check the flat measurements on each listing instead.

SIZE L SHIRTS

L is the most common label in this store, which also makes it the size where the gap between an old tag and an actual measurement matters most, since so many different decades and brands all used the same three letters.

The most common label, the least consistent fit

A large shirt from a boxy 1980s cut, a looser nineties Umbro template like Beckham's Manchester United away shirts from 1999-2000 and 2000-01, and a slimmer 2000s jersey such as Messi's 2004-05 Barcelona home shirt can all carry the same L on the label while measuring quite differently pit to pit. With so much of the stock here labeled this way, spanning Nike, Adidas, Umbro and Kappa across four decades, relying on the tag alone would make sizing close to a guess, which is why the actual flat measurement on each listing carries more weight than the letter sewn inside.

Match a size L to your own measurements

The most reliable approach is comparing the listed pit-to-pit and top-to-bottom numbers against a shirt already in your own wardrobe, rather than assuming a labeled L here will match a modern L from a current replica shop. That's especially true comparing something like a 1998-99 Ronaldo Inter Milan shirt against a 2018-19 Ajax full kit, two jerseys twenty years apart that happen to share a letter and very little else.
