Football tracksuits for Black Friday

Training, presentation, pre-match: the role of each tracksuit

Professional clubs use several types of tracksuits. The training tracksuit, fitted and lightweight, is worn during warm-ups and sessions: its jacket often zips halfway up to avoid hindering movements. The presentation tracksuit, more formal, is worn when arriving at the stadium, during trips, and at press conferences. The pre-match outfit is worn on the pitch during warm-ups, in the colours of the day. For a supporter, the first two can be worn easily every day, with a preference for the fully zipped jacket, which is easier to open when moving from the cold outdoors to indoors.

Strike, Tiro and Jordan: the lines from major clubs

Each manufacturer offers a recognizable training line. At Nike, the Strike line outfits PSG and FC Barcelona, featuring a body-hugging cut and Dri-FIT fabric that wicks away sweat. At adidas, the Tiro line is recognized by its three stripes on the sleeves and legs: it outfits Real Madrid and comes in an Essentials version for everyday sports. PSG also became in 2018 the first football club associated with the Jordan brand, which has since dedicated collections combining football and basket culture. Benfica, founded in 1904 in Lisbon, rounds out this European panorama.

Children's tracksuit: what size by age

Children's tracksuits are sized by age or by height in centimetres. It’s best to choose the size that corresponds to their age, or the next size up if the child is tall for their age, as sleeves and legs can shorten quickly during growth. The tapered bottoms made with a elastic or zipper at the ankle prevent the fabric from dragging on the ground if it is a bit long. Young fans can find their happiness in the tracksuits of PSG, FC Barcelona, or England, as well as in the Kylian Mbappé tracksuit, named after the French team’s striker trained at Monaco.

Joma and adidas: outfitting an entire club

For an amateur club, the tracksuit serves as a common uniform for players, coaches, and officials. The Joma Championship, from the Spanish brand founded in 1965 in Portillo de Toledo, and the adidas Tiro Essentials tracksuit come in a wide range of colours and all sizes, from child to adult, which allows all categories to be dressed identically. The adidas model is also available in a women's cut for female sections. Their polyester is suitable for printing initials and club logo marking. The Black Friday falls at the time when sessions are held in the cold.

Frequently asked questions

Adult tracksuit: should I take my usual size?

You should take your usual size for a fitted training cut, or one size up if you want to wear a sweatshirt underneath. The cuts of the professional lines are fitted: if you're in doubt between two sizes, the larger one is more comfortable.

How do you care for a polyester tracksuit?

A wash at thirty degrees, inside out and with zippers up, protects patches and stripes. Fabric softener should be avoided as it clogs technical fibers, and the tumble dryer should be avoided as it may peel off heat-applied logos; polyester dries quickly when hung up.

Can you wear a club tracksuit every day?

Yes, the tracksuit jacket and pants can be worn outside the pitch, at school, while travelling, or on the weekend. The presentation versions, which are more understated, are best suited for casual everyday wear.

What is a Fourth tracksuit?

Some clubs, like PSG or FC Barcelona, release a fourth kit in addition to the home, away, and third kits. The Fourth tracksuit reflects the colours and graphics of the kits, often bolder, for supporters who want a unique piece.

Polyester or cotton tracksuit: which one should I choose?

Polyester, lightweight and breathable, dries quickly and is suitable for the pitch in any weather. The cotton fleece tracksuit, softer and warmer, is reserved for relaxation or journeys in cold weather.
