    Why are NBA Jerseys so long?

    I picked up a couple of Mitchell and Ness throwbacks of my Nuggets, and these things are freaking DRESSES. They go down nearly to my knees, and I'm 6'2. They are size 56, which is supposed to be 36" long according to the NBA size chart. Well a 52, which would be a size XL would only be 3" longer, these things need to be like 15" shorter. What gives? Are these longer than they should be?

    48 is an extra large so a 56 would be something like a 3 or 4x
    As Shaquille O'Neal left the Suns practice court, he yelled out, "Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!"

        Authentic jersey sizing chart
        REEBOK Small Medium Large X-Large 2XL 3XL 4XL
        Chest 36 40 48 52 56 58 60
        Length 32 34 35 36 37 39 40


        NIKE Small Medium Large X-Large 2XL 3XL 4XL
        Chest 38 42 46 50 54 58 60
        Length 32.5 33.5 35 36.5 37.5 38.5 40

        Assuming the Mitchell and Ness fall someplace in the same range (The Mitchell and Ness' are actually size 54s) these are more than likely 2XLs, which is irrelevant as even a small is only 5-5.5" shorter than the 2XL. I need this thing to be 15" shorter to be worn untucked :-/ How are these things supposed to be worn?
