Get Started With Your Soccer Kit
The basic attire that the soccer players are required to wear includes a shirt, shorts, socks, footwear and adequate shin guards. Players are forbidden to wear or use anything that is dangerous to themselves or another player (including jewelry or watches). The goalkeeper must wear clothing that is easily distinguishable from that worn by the other players and the match officials. Again, the rules of a particular competition may also put forth certain regulations and restrictions such as colour of the attire or requiring numbers on shirts.
Goalkeepers almost always wear gloves, though there is nothing preventing other players from doing so. Goalkeepers sometimes also wear caps to prevent direct sunlight or floodlights from hampering proper vision affecting their performance. Players with sight problems may wear glasses providing there is no risk of them falling off or breaking and thereby becoming dangerous (the most famous case of these special sports glasses in recent times is Edgar Davids). However jewellery, watches or other items that may be risky to any players are not allowed.
The kit for other match officials has also been defined. Almost all match officials including referees, assistant referees and fourth officials traditionally wear all-black kits. Referees' jerseys have a pocket sewn in so yellow and red cards, and the referee's notebook can be carried.
If you are on a hunt for your soccer kit, take the following into consideration before finalizing your purchase. When buying shin guards, lay stress on the type of materials used, reasons for wearing shin guards and how to make sure you get the correct protection depending on your soccer position. When you buy your football boots, get all the information about how to care for them after purchase including care of the leather, laces and studs. When buying goalkeeper gloves take into consideration the facts regarding the type of glove, reasons for wearing goalkeeper gloves and how to make sure you get the correct size.
