Anyone care to offer any insight as to the sizing of these Jerseys on Hockey Outlet?

It took over a week, but they finally replied to my email question about the 'EURO' sizing.
This is what they wrote:
Our drop down size selection shows the Euro chest size next to the
comparable US chest size and jersey size (Euro 52/US 42/Medium). A Euro
size 52 is comparable to a US size 42 which, in general, would be considered
a size medium.
Thank you for your reply.
In the drop down menu for the Reebok Edge Pro Authentic Hockey Jerseys you
should see three separate sizing identifiers;
1. European (Euro) sizing (usually between 46 and 60)
2. United States (US) sizing (usually between 36 and 50)
3. Jersey size in terms of small through XX-Large
Each line in the drop down box should then look like this;
- Euro 46/US 36/XSmall
- Euro 50/US 40/Small
- Euro 52/US 42/Medium
A Euro size 52, therefore, is comparable to a US size 42 which, in general,
would be considered a size medium.
Please let us know if this helps explain the situation better.
Thanks again for your reply.
And my reply back to them:
Thanks for the reply; I'm aware of what is in the drop down box. Perhaps we aren't on the same page. There is no 'Euro' sizing for RBK Authentic Edge jerseys. They come in sizes 46 through 60. You are the only retailer I have seen advertising 'Euro' sizes. I don't know why that is, but there is no 'US 36' size for this jersey, so I don't know what you are referring to.
I have to assume that based on this that the jerseys you are selling must not be RBK Authentic. I have attached a picture showing the sizes of Authentic jerseys, again sizes US 46-60. There is no US 36.
I don't mean to be a pain, but if I'm going to spend the money I need to be sure it's the real thing.
Thanks,
And their response again:
Thank you for your reply.
We sell the Reebok Authentic jerseys as 'Euro' sizing because, according to numerous clothing conversion/sizing websites, 46 to 60 are the actual size numbers used for determining European mens chest sizes. US mens chest sizes are actually determined using sizes 36 through 50.
A US mens chest size 46 is generally considered to be an X-Large in all other forms of shirt type garments. If a size 46 authentic jersey is sold as the smallest size available in that item, any US male that wears a size small, medium or even large shirt would pretty much be excluded from being able to wear the jersey. Seeing that that is obviously incorrect, we decided to do the proper conversions to better help our domestic customers make a better informed decision as to what size will properly fit them.
Make no mistake, though, these are real Reebok NHL Authentic Hockey Jerseys.
We hope this answers your questions to your satisfaction. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
Am I being retarded here?
