Men's football clothes
The Right Outfit
Football involves intensive movement, so the clothing you wear should not be too tight and must allow for free movement. Additionally, it's important that the clothing is capable of wicking sweat away to keep your body dry and comfortable. Football clothing comes in various types of garments, each with its own function and properties.
Shirts
There are several types of shirts you can wear while playing football. You might start with a thermal shirt or a compression shirt. A thermal shirt’s main goal is to keep your body at the right temperature. There are summer thermal shirts that provide cooling and winter thermal shirts that offer warmth.
A compression shirt aims to support your muscles by stimulating blood circulation and reducing muscle vibrations. This helps lower the risk of muscle injuries and fatigue, and also encourages proper posture.
Over the thermal or compression shirt, you should wear a football shirt. It’s important that the football shirt is made from synthetic fabric, as these materials are effective at wicking moisture away.
Football Shorts
Football shorts are essential for playing on the field. Under a football short, you can wear a compression short, which, like a compression shirt, provides muscle support. You may also choose to wear sliding shorts under your short. Sliding shorts prevent abrasions during slides and reduce chafing in the groin area. This is particularly important on artificial turf, where slides can be quite painful.
Football Socks
Your outfit isn’t complete without football socks. Some sports socks offer extra support in areas such as the heels and ankles. Additionally, sports socks are designed to minimize irritation. It’s crucial to wear the right size socks; too-large socks can cause friction and blisters, while too-small socks can lead to ingrown toenails.
Sports Underwear
It’s also important to wear comfortable underwear that stays in place. Men’s sports underwear typically includes sports boxers made from materials that wick sweat away. The seams are finished in a way that minimizes discomfort.
Training Suits
A training suit consists of a training jacket and pants, keeping you warm before and after playing football. Cold muscles are more prone to injury. Wearing a training suit warms up your muscles slightly before starting your warm-up and helps prevent them from cooling down too quickly after training or a match, reducing the risk of muscle soreness. You can opt for a complete training suit or mix and match a separate jacket and pants.
Windbreakers and Coach Jackets
A windbreaker is mainly worn during training and warm-ups on damp, windy, and rainy days. A coach jacket keeps you warm when you are not on the field. If you’ve been substituted and are temporarily sitting on the bench, a coach jacket provides warmth. As the name suggests, it’s also ideal for coaches and referees.

Care Instructions
To keep your new football outfit in good condition for as long as possible, it’s important to wash it according to the care instructions. These instructions are found on the label inside each garment. Avoid using fabric softener as it can damage the technical fabrics of the clothing. Football clothing is made from materials that dry quickly, so avoid using a tumble dryer and instead hang the clothing on a drying rack.
Tip
Sizes may vary by brand and garment, so check the size chart for each item to ensure you get the right fit.
