The standard equipment and attire worn by players is called a football kit and the rules of football prohibit the use of anything that may be a danger to either the player or another participant in a game. Footballers generally wear identifying numbers on the backs of their shirts in correspondence to their playing positions. For professional clubs they can display the players’ surnames or nicknames on their shirts.

If you’re a coach or a club administrator, for example, you may need to buy a full kit right at the beginning of the season. If you are a parent to a footballer or you are a footballer and you want to buy yourself a kit , we’ve put together a brief football kit list to help you get started and help you know what to look for in a football kit.

There are some excellent offers on adult football kits in the UK from various suppliers and you will find them in something that represents your team colors. The same basic package of football kits for adults is also the same for children.

A full kit package often includes the following for up to 16 players:

• Outfield shirts and shorts
• Goalkeeper shirts and shorts / tracksuit bottoms
• Footwear and shin pads
• Socks
• Shirt numbers
• A match ball
• A kit bag

Shirts and shorts are normally made of a polyester mesh and owing to its low absorbency, it does not trap the sweat and body heat in the same way as a cotton shirt . On rainy days, very little water is absorbed by a polyester shirt too. Polyester mesh is very light and thin, and this is ideal because the players will not be weighed down by their attire when they are running around playing football. The tensile strength polyester mesh football kits are high enough to prevent them from ripping too easily.

Most football teams retain the same basic color schemes for years and the kit colors are an integral part of their team culture. For national teams, their football kits are generally national colors and in international competitions they will have the same colors with other sporting teams of the same nation.

When individuals or teams buy their football kits they usually add shirt printing or football boot personalisation to their new purchase to give it that something extra.

As a coach, as soon as you’re ready with your team’s new full kit, you may need to add some football training wear to your purchase list.
