New Orleans Pelicans Jerseys

The New Orleans Pelicans range covers everything from a light everyday layer to a heavier display piece. What follows is a plain breakdown of which is which.

Most orders here are the same two builds in different sizes, so it is worth reading the difference before picking.

Short answer: How do you choose between the three New Orleans Pelicans jerseys, and what size should you order? Work out how often it gets worn first and what size you actually need — that one answer rules out two of the three builds before you compare anything else.

Frequently asked questions

7questionsWhat sizes does the New Orleans Pelicans range come in?

1What sizes does the New Orleans Pelicans range come in?

S–XXL across men's, women's and youth cuts, with S–XXL Big & Tall on selected builds. The size selector on each product page lists what is actually in stock.

2Which New Orleans Pelicans build should I buy for regular wear?

The light printed build. It is the most breathable and the easiest to wear for hours, and it survives washing better than the heavier alternatives.

3What is the difference between New Orleans Hornets and Pelicans jerseys?

The Hornets years (2002-2013) used teal, purple and gold in a lighter cut. The Pelicans identity from 2013 uses navy, red and gold in a heavier garment, so teal is the reliable marker of the earlier era.

4What size New Orleans Pelicans jersey should I get for a 6 foot player?

A 6 foot player usually lands in a large in the mid-weight build. Measure chest width across the flat garment and double it, then match that number to the size chart on the product page. If the chest measurement sits between two sizes, take the larger one: the mid-weight build has less give than the light printed one.

5Can I wear a New Orleans Pelicans jersey over a hoodie?

Yes, and the light printed build is the one to pick for it. It sits closer to the body and does not bulk up at the shoulders, so a hoodie still fits underneath. The mid-weight and display builds are cut wider through the chest and read better on their own.

6Is there a New Orleans Pelicans jersey that works as a gift without knowing the size?

The custom name and number route is the safest one. Choose the size from the chest measurement rather than from height, and leave the name field open if you are buying for someone whose spelling you want to confirm.

7What colourway should I get for a New Orleans Pelicans game day?

Home colourway is what most people reach for on a game day. The colourway itself is fixed by the team, so the only real choice is the season design, and those rotate year to year.
