Black Friday : shirts, football boots and equipment

What is the Black Friday on Foot-Store?

The Black Friday is the end-of-autumn sales event during which Foot-Store offers discounts on part of its football catalog. It traditionally takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving in both the United States and France, and continues over the weekend and the following Monday, known as Cyber Monday. On this page, you will find what is marked down at that time: shirts, shorts, socks, goalkeeping gloves, t-shirts, and gear, for football but also for lifestyle, running, and training.

Outside this period, the page remains online and serves as a point of entry to other sales events throughout the year. It’s the same address year after year, so you can bookmark it and return to it when the discounts start.

Shoes, shirts, goalkeepers: the selections for Black Friday

The Black Friday is divided into themed selections, to avoid having to browse the entire catalog when looking for a single item:

• The shoes, to check if you are waiting for a sale to renew your pair before the return or the winter break.
• The teams, for the shirts, shorts, and socks in the colors of clubs and national teams.
• The kids selection, to dress a young player or prepare a gift before the holidays.
• The goalkeepers, with gloves, goalkeeper shirts, and padded shorts specific to the position.
• The teamwear, when it comes to equipping an entire group with matching training outfits.
• The lifestyle, for items worn off the pitch, t-shirts, and everyday clothing.
• The equipment, the accessories and gear that complete an outfit.
• The balls, to pick up during the sales when you need to renew several.
• The club space, designed for managers and equipment officers who order for an association.
• The running and fitness, for physical preparation and off-ball sessions.
• The top brands, if you start from a brand rather than a product.

Which products are discounted during the Black Friday for football?

Discounts apply to the main categories of the catalog: shirts, shorts, socks, goalkeeper gloves, and t-shirts, in adult, junior, and baby sizes. The shirts come in short and long sleeves, in supporter versions for the stands and player versions for the fitted cut worn on the pitch.

You will find both current season kits and older collections still available in certain sizes. An older collection remains an official club shirt, simply from a previous season, and it’s often on these remaining sizes that the price differences are the most noticeable. If a specific size matters to you, it's the first point to check before choosing the model.

Is Black Friday a good time to equip a goalkeeper?

Yes, because goalkeeper gear often needs to be renewed during the season and represents a separate budget. The goalkeepers page of the Black Friday compiles goalkeeper shirts from clubs and national teams, goalkeeper shorts, and matching socks, as well as gloves.

Child sizes play an important role here: long-sleeved goalkeeper shirts, junior goalkeeper shorts, and gloves designed for small hands. For a young goalkeeper who is growing quickly, a sales event is the logical time to get the next size up without waiting. The rest of the year, the selection dedicated to the goalkeeper position remains accessible outside of discount periods.

Nike, adidas, Hummel, Team Merchandise: the brands available

Four brands structure the Black Friday selection at Foot-Store. Nike and adidas supply the majority of clubs and teams from which you will find shirts, shorts, and socks on this page. Hummel outfits other clubs and offers training lines used by amateur teams. Team Merchandise covers licensed products from clubs, often items to wear in the stands or daily.

If you start with a specific brand rather than a club, the top brands selection allows you to enter through this route. To compare outside of the sales period, the football shoes and the supporters' shop present the complete catalog.

How to prepare your purchases before Black Friday?

The most effective method is to spot the products in advance, then check their availability in your size as soon as the sales start. Common sizes in adult and goalkeeper shirts for big clubs go quickly, and a model out of stock in one size does not necessarily return.

Also note the teams you are interested in: Chelsea, AS Roma, Belgium, Scotland, Wales, Australia, or Nottingham Forest do not have the same number of sizes available depending on the models. Finally, think of needs that are not immediate but certain, like socks, training shorts, or a second pair of gloves.

Where to find good football deals the rest of the year?

Foot-Store runs several sales events throughout the year, each with its permanent page. In chronological order, the Black Friday kicks off the discount season at the end of autumn, just before the Christmas selection, which mainly helps to find a football gift for the end-of-year festivities.

Next are the winter sales, a period when current collections and end-of-line items are discounted, followed by the French Days in spring, a shorter event that occurs between the two sales. The summer sales take over, before the return and the arrival of new collections covered by the Back To Club selection, useful when you need to re-equip a player or team for the new season.

Continuously, two pages operate outside the main calendar: the clearance sale, which gathers end-of-line and past collections still available, and the private sales, which are shorter events. These are the two addresses to check when you are looking for a good deal outside of the major sales periods.
