Teamwear football shirts

Short or long sleeves, fitted or straight cut

The short-sleeved shirt remains the staple of a kit, worn from the resumption until the end of the season. The long-sleeved version, offered in most ranges, protects from the cold on winter mornings and is often ordered for part of the squad or for the goalkeeper. The round neck is prevalent in club ranges, while the V-neck is found on a few models, like the Joma Eco Supernova.

The cut varies as well: fitted and close to the body for shirts inspired by professionals, straighter and looser for other ranges that suit veteran teams and varied body shapes. Trying a few on players before ordering avoids any nasty surprises.

Joma, Uhlsport, adidas, Hummel: which shirt for which club

The Joma Championship is a round-neck training and match shirt, recognisable by its contrasting colour cuts on the shoulders, chest, and sides; it is also available in long sleeves. The Joma Inter adopts a more sober design, while the Eco Supernova catches the eye with its optical effect printed pattern on the front. The Uhlsport Essential Functional opts for a plain design that's easy to print on, and the adidas Tiro features the iconic three stripes on the shoulders with a fitted cut.

For officials, the referee shirts Hummel Referee incorporate a chest pocket secured by velcro, which holds the yellow and red cards without needing to keep them in hand.

Technical polyester: breathability and shirt care

A club shirt is almost always made of polyester, increasingly often recycled: the adidas Tiro and Joma Eco Supernova are made from fully recycled polyester. This fibre dries quickly, retains its colours over many washes, and handles printing well. The breathable mesh areas placed on the sides or sleeves, like on the Joma Championship, allow heat to escape where the body sweats the most.

To ensure a kit lasts several seasons, each shirt should be washed inside out at thirty degrees, without fabric softener that clogs the mesh or tumble dryer that weakens the numbers. Air drying on a hanger, in the shade, also prevents discolouration of bright colours.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the referee wear a different colour from the two teams?

The rules of the game require referees to wear colours that distinguish them from both teams and the goalkeepers. That’s why referee shirts come in several shades, black, yellow, red, or green, chosen according to the outfits of the day.

Can a vertical striped outfit be replicated with teamwear shirts?

Yes, some ranges offer shirts with vertical stripes, like a model adidas, that reflect the traditional outfits of many clubs. They can then be printed like a plain shirt, with numbers that are high-contrast enough to remain readable.

How many shirts should be ordered for a team?

Count one shirt per player, plus two or three for new arrivals during the year, and a complete set in a second colour if the opposing team's outfits might clash with yours. The goalkeeper has their own colour.

How to choose the size of a shirt for a child?

Child sizes are indicated by age or height: rely on the child’s height in centimetres rather than their age. As they are still growing, the next size up allows for the same shirt to be worn throughout the year without hindering their movement.

Is a thermal undershirt allowed under the shirt?

Yes, as long as its sleeves are the main colour of the shirt sleeves, as stipulated by the rules of the game. A black undershirt under a red shirt may therefore be refused, hence the importance of matching it to the club's outfit.
