Soccer Jerseys

Soccer jerseys are designed to distinguish between teams for viewers as well as players. Most teams usually have an alternate set of colors, in the event that the colors of two opponent teams are too hard to differentiate. A third uniform or “kit” set is not uncommon among professional clubs.

Originally, soccer jerseys would simply depict the number of a player in relation to the position that was being played. This meant that all teams had player numbers 1 through 11. This was given up for squad numbering, where team members are given (or allowed to choose) a special number to last the season.

Soccer jerseys also provide information such as a player’s last name or nickname. Logos for sponsors also show up on kits. These logos will generally have to fit size regulations as designated by specific tournaments or competitions.
