Football shorts for clubs

Which football shorts to choose for equipping a club?

The choice of shorts depends primarily on their use: match, training, or goalkeeper position. Match shorts prioritise a lightweight cut and materials that wick away sweat, while training shorts must mainly withstand repeated friction on synthetic surfaces. The selection of football shorts for clubs covers these various uses, with models available in several colours to match the team's branding.

What brands of shorts are offered for clubs?

The selection includes top sports brands and suppliers specialising in clothing for amateur clubs. Nike and adidas offer match and training shorts made from breathable technical materials, with cuts similar to those worn in competition. Joma, Uhlsport, Macron, Erima, Givova, Hummel, Mizuno, and Kappa complete the range with shorts designed for regular use at prices suited to the needs of a club with multiple members.

Children's shorts or adult shorts: how to adjust the choice?

Young players do not wear the same cuts as seniors, and several brands offer dedicated options. For instance, there are children's shorts available from Nike, Kappa, and Hummel, tailored for the body types of younger categories while maintaining the same breathable materials as adult models. This allows a club to keep a consistent look from the youngest beginner up to the first team.

Is the goalkeeper's shorts different from other shorts?

Yes, the goalkeeper position imposes specific requirements due to diving and grounding. The selection notably includes a goalkeeper short from Uhlsport, designed with reinforcements and a cut suited for this position, distinguishing it from regular player shorts designed for running and standing play.

What other clothing pieces can complete the club's outfit?

The shorts can be paired with other club clothing items, which can be found on the dedicated pages:

• The shirts and polos, for the upper part of the match outfit or day-to-day club wear.
• The training tops, for sessions and warm-ups.
• The training trousers, for cooler days.
• The tracksuits, for journeys and pre-match activities.
• The jackets and coats, for covering up on the bench or outdoors.
• The socks, to complete the match outfit for players.

All these pages are part of the clothing by product intended for clubs.

When to check for good deals on club shorts?

The best times to equip a club at a lower cost follow the major events of the year. Black Friday and the end-of-year holidays are often good times to build or renew a stock of club clothing, followed by winter sales and then the French Days in spring. The good deals in the Club Space and the sales in the Club Space gather ongoing promotions on club clothing, while clearing sales and new arrivals allow you to keep track of end-of-line items and the latest releases respectively.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between match shorts and training shorts?

Match shorts prioritise a lightweight cut and very breathable material, designed for occasional use during a game. Training shorts are generally made to withstand more frequent use, with a material that holds up better to repeated washing and friction on synthetic surfaces.

How to choose the size of children's shorts for a young player?

The size depends more on the child's age and body type than on their playing category. It is advisable to refer to the size guide for each brand, as children's cuts vary significantly from one supplier to another.

What is a "slipped" short?

A slipped short has an integrated undergarment in the lining, like the Erima RIO 2.0 model. This eliminates the need to wear a separate compression undergarment and provides additional support during activity.

Is the goalkeeper's shorts different from other shorts?

Yes, the goalkeeper's shorts often include reinforcements at the hips or thighs to cushion impacts with the ground during dives. They differ from standard player shorts, which are lighter and cut for running.

Can the same shorts be found across multiple seasons to restock a club?

Some brands that specialise in clothing for amateur clubs, like Joma, Erima, or Macron, keep their references available over multiple seasons. This makes it easier for a club to restock and maintain the same outfit for its members over the years.
