What You Don’t Know About Soccer Shirts

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Article by Soophott Lert

You’ve seen them everywhere, because soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. Soccer fans are known for their dedication and willingness to express their love for their favorite team, and you have probably witnessed at least one person wearing a shirt in broad daylight, despite the fact that there is no game scheduled on that day. You’ve most likely noticed the wearer’s aloof nature, as well as their tendency to wear it without any shame. The shirt itself is sleek and shiny, hanging loosely and comfortably around the wearer’s torso. Despite the unique features of the shirt, no one bats an eye, because they can pass off as casual wear for anyone. Those are only some of the facts that people discover when noticing others wearing soccer shirts.

They have been around since the beginning of soccer (or, as people call it in Europe, football). The usual wear of players back then, however, was extremely different. Shirts were simple and made of cotton, making them exceptionally thick, and at times, uncomfortable. Designs were simple, composed only of plain colors, or sometimes stripes as a variation.

As the sport developed, so did the dress code. After a time, from heavy fibers, soccer shirts were instead manufactured using nylon or polyester. As a result, the clothing became much lighter and easier to move around in. The change in fabric is also the reason shirts now exhibit that glowing effect. They no longer absorb sweat, but are instead worn primarily for the player’s comfort. During cold weather, players’ jerseys are sometimes long-sleeved. Although most shirts now have v-necks or are collared, certain teams still occasionally wear button-up shirts.

Soccer jerseys, worn by fans and players alike, are never complete without their actual designs. Team jerseys are the most commonly worn types of shirts, because they show what team you support. Currently, the most popular team shirts in shops include Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, England and more. Team shirts are designed to feature their trademark colors. Although some teams may use the same color (such as Manchester United and Liverpool shirts both being red), different shades are used. Teams or leagues like Barcelona, Celtic, AC Milan and Inter Milan also incorporate stripes into their shirts. A team can have up to four colors on its jersey to be distinctive. Other than that, the team’s name or logo is printed on the shirt, and sometimes, even the sponsor’s logo is included. Lastly, if the shirt is player-specific, then the player’s is also displayed on the back of the shirt, as well as their number.

Soccer enthusiasts are able to distinguish fake shirts from original ones. Fake shirts may match the wrong details together, such as a player’s name being misspelled, or having the wrong number. Sometimes, even the colors are off! Be careful not to make that kind of mistake if ever you want to purchase your own soccer shirt.

Now that you know a bit more about soccer shirts, you will see much more than just a person in a soccer jersey when you meet a fan.
