Short-sleeve football shirts

What should a short-sleeve football shirt meet?

A shirt needs to offer freedom of movement, so you're not hindered during training or a match. You need to be able to focus completely on playing football. During football, the body produces sweat, and the shirt needs to wick this away as quickly as possible so it stays dry. A short-sleeve shirt is very suitable for wearing in summer. In winter, you can wear short-sleeve shirts by layering a long-sleeve thermal shirt underneath.

Which fabric is suitable?

Cotton is a fabric that's comfortable to wear but doesn't wick away sweat well. This makes the shirt wet and heavy. We therefore recommend choosing a football shirt made from a material that does wick away sweat well, such as polyester. A shirt made from a combination of these materials is also suitable for playing football in.

Various brands use their own special techniques to wick away sweat even faster. For example, Nike uses Dri-Fit and Adidas has its ClimaLite technology. These offer the same benefits and ensure high comfort during exercise.

Tips

Don't give sweat the chance to soak into the shirt - wash it soon after use. If you wait too long, you won't be able to get the smell out of the shirt anymore.
