Goalkeeper kits on sale

What is a goalkeeper outfit?

A goalkeeper outfit combines a long-sleeved jersey and matching shorts, designed for the goalkeeper position rather than for field players. This two-piece cut allows for better movement on the ground and diving, while offering a looser fit than standard jerseys. The catalogue features adult sets and children’s versions, to equip both experienced goalkeepers and young players just starting out in the position.

What other categories should you check to equip a goalkeeper?

A goalkeeper outfit is usually complemented by other pieces of equipment, available separately on the site:

• The goalkeeper gloves, essential for catching the ball and protecting fingers.
• The goalkeeper jerseys sold separately, for those who only want to renew the top.
• The goalkeeper baselayers, worn under the jersey for comfort during cold matches.
• The goalkeeper shorts available individually, to complete or replace the ones from the outfit.
• The goalkeeper trousers, an alternative to shorts for training in cold weather.
• The goalkeeper socks, often reinforced at the shin.
• The protective gear, for elbows, knees, or hips during diving phases.

To see all the equipment dedicated to the position, the Goalkeepers page brings together all these categories.

Uhlsport, Joma, Givova: which brands to choose for a goalkeeper outfit?

These three brands cover different needs depending on the level and intended use. Uhlsport is a brand specialized in goalkeeper equipment, with outfits like the Progressive, designed for regular match play as well as training. Joma offers sets like the Zamora X, a complete option combining a long-sleeved jersey and shorts in the same model. Givova, with its Hyguana set, completes the offering with another option in matching long-sleeved jersey and shorts. For young goalkeepers, children's outfits from Hummel or Reusch are also available, designed to support practice from the youth categories.

How to choose the right goalkeeper outfit?

The choice primarily depends on the use: an outfit worn every weekend for matches has different requirements than one reserved for training. Check the cut of the jersey, as some models are looser to facilitate diving, while others are more fitted to limit snagging on the ground. Also consider the season: a classic long-sleeved jersey is suitable all year round, but lined shorts or trousers may be preferable in winter. For young goalkeepers, opt for the specifically offered children's sizes rather than adjusting an adult size.

When to take advantage of deals on goalkeeper outfits?

The prices of goalkeeper outfits change during several key commercial periods. The Black Friday comes first in the year, followed by the holiday season, and then the winter sales. The French Days in spring offer another chance to watch the prices before the new season starts and the arrival of new collections. The Sales page collects all ongoing promotions on the site across all categories.

Frequently asked questions

What size to choose for a children's goalkeeper outfit?

Size should be chosen according to the age and build of the child, referring to the size guide for each brand rather than a general correspondence. Children's outfits are cut differently from reduced adult versions, with proportions suited for junior practice. If in doubt between two sizes, it is generally advisable to opt for the larger size to accommodate growth.

Can you buy the jersey and shorts of a goalkeeper outfit separately?

Some models are sold only as outfits, while the catalogue also offers goalkeeper jerseys and goalkeeper shorts individually. This allows for replacing a single item without having to buy the entire outfit again.

Is a goalkeeper outfit suitable for playing indoor or outdoor?

Most goalkeeper outfits are designed for outdoor use, on conventional pitches. For indoor play, it's better to check the composition of the shorts and opt for appropriate socks or protective gear, available in the dedicated categories on the site.

Should you wear protective gear with a goalkeeper outfit?

The protective gear is not provided with the outfit and should be chosen separately based on the areas to protect, such as elbows, knees or hips. They can be found in the Protective Gear category, to be paired with the outfit according to the level of contact in the game.

What is the difference between an outfit from Uhlsport, Joma, and Givova?

The three brands offer outfits consisting of a long-sleeved jersey and shorts, but each has its own choices of cut and finishing. The best approach is to compare the models available at the time of purchase, as the cut and materials can vary from one collection to another within the same brand.
