Stefan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hey, buying a jersey for my girlfriend. Wondering if anyone has got a youth instead of a women's. Also interested in a whitecaps jersey, same deal. Anyone get a youths instead? Is there a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Depends on what your girlfriend wants. If she wants more of the proper patches and all that, you'd have to go for a Youth jersey as the Women's have cheaper/more fake patches. If she wants fit then the Women's are tailored to be less boxy compared to the Youth/Men's sizes. I guess the same goes for the Whitecaps, although not as sure if the patches are as different as they are with the Canucks ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My wife preferred the women's jersey, because the crest isn't a giant hard patch, so it's more flattering. But some women prefer it to be more authentic/what the players wear. you know your GF best, or at least you should, so only you can truly make this determination.

Justdean10 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have both a womens and mens Canucks jersey, I don't find there is a difference in the patches.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUtd Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 How tall is she? I'm 5' and the sleeves on the youth jerseys are around 1-2 inches too short on me. So if she's even just like 5'2 those sleeves are going to be a ridiculously weird looking length. You're probably better off with the women's. Edit: I have a few youth Man U jerseys and there isn't that much of a difference between them and the adults. I'm guessing the Whitecaps ones should be similar.

avelanch Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have both a womens and mens Canucks jersey, I don't find there is a difference in the patches.. some women's jerseys have (or had) screenprinted main logos, which were slightly smaller than the men's patch logo. not sure if it's still that way for some jerseys or not, but that's how it was when my wife got one.

elvis15 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have both a womens and mens Canucks jersey, I don't find there is a difference in the patches.. Unless they've changed, or you got a different version, they women's typically have had a smaller printed on crest versus the thick, fabric/matte ones. The shoulders are also printed on like you see with the base level men/youth's jerseys. http://shop.canada.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3872421 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is whether she wants to look like a woman or look like a boy. A legit question that has two simple answers. Unless it's a surprise gift. Then the only answer becomes even simpler.

She's currently using an old canucks jersey I had from when I was a teenager. It's a sporting event. I think she wants what will look most legit. And to the person who asked her height, she's 5'4".

Well... I guess not necessarily. I was emphasizing the fact that a women's sweater is going to fit a woman's body size better. But if she's just gonna wear a hoodie or something underneath, then you should definitely get a youth. A women's jersey probably won't look good if she's wearing too many layers. Has she tried them on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she has really short arms or the sleeves have gotten longer in the last 2 years, the sleeves on a youth jersey are going to be way too short for her then.

I think women look great in jerseys.. even if they are a jersey made for a man. I don't think they make them look masculine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
