Training shorts and top set

What is a training jersey and shorts set?

A training jersey and shorts set combines a matching jersey and shorts, sold or designed to be worn together, made from lightweight and breathable fabrics suitable for exercise. Unlike a match jersey worn in competition, this type of set is intended for training sessions, warming up before a match, or casual use off the field.

The cut is generally looser than that of a match jersey, prioritising freedom of movement over aerodynamics.

adidas, Nike, Puma: what are the differences between the sets?

Each of the three brands offers its own training lines, with choices of cuts and finishes that are unique to them rather than a performance hierarchy. adidas and Puma particularly offer teamwear ranges designed for collective use in clubs, with colours that can easily be customised by team. Nike has its own training lines, with cuts and fabrics varying across collections.

The choice largely depends on the desired cut (fitted or loose) and the available colours, rather than a fixed technical difference between the brands.

Completing your outfit with other training pieces

The jersey and shorts set can be complemented with other items from the training catalogue, which can be viewed separately:

• Training jerseys, to vary the tops without changing the shorts.
• Training shorts, sold separately to complete or renew a set.
• Training tops, sweatshirts and jackets worn before or after training sessions.
• Training bottoms, for sessions in cool weather.
• Training tracksuits, for a complete matching outfit.
• Accessories, to complete a player or team’s gear.

You can also find all training pieces on the Training page or browse outfits sorted by team.

When can you find the best deals on training sets?

The prices of jersey and shorts sets change according to commercial periods and end-of-collection sales, so it's useful to keep an eye on certain pages of the site at the right time. Black Friday and Black Friday offers come first in the year, followed by the end-of-year festivities, then winter sales, and finally French Days in spring.

Outside of these periods, the clearance page and the good deals page feature items to watch throughout the year, while special offers and items shipped in 24h help find an available set quickly. The new arrivals of the general catalogue, or those specific to the club boutique, show the latest items added online.

How to choose the size and fit of your set?

Choose the size primarily based on the use: a fitted cut is suitable for technical training, while a looser fit allows for more freedom of movement during exercise. Each product page indicates the available sizes and, when it exists, a match with a chest or waist measurement to refine your choice.

For club use, it’s advisable to ensure that the chosen shorts match the same range as the jersey, as some brands offer several cuts of shorts within the same collection.

Frequently asked questions

Can a training jersey and shorts set be worn in a match?

This is not its primary function: these sets are designed for training, warming up, or casual use, with fabrics and cuts different from match jerseys. There’s nothing stopping you from wearing them off the field, but for competitive play, it’s better to go for a dedicated match jersey.

Are the jersey and shorts always sold together?

In this category, both pieces are designed to be worn together, but they can also be purchased separately depending on your needs. It’s possible to complete or replace just one of the two pieces through the training jerseys or training shorts pages.

What’s the difference between a teamwear set and a retail set?

A teamwear set is designed to be available in multiple colours that can easily be matched to a club's colours, often used by complete teams. A retail set follows more the aesthetic lines of a brand's collection, without any team customisation logic.

Can a training set be worn all year round?

Yes, but the material and cut direct usage according to the season: the lightest models are better suited for training in warm weather, while sweatpants or a jacket can be added on top for cold weather. These complementary items appear in other training categories on the site.

How can I check if a model is still available in my size?

Size availability is indicated directly on each product’s page at the time of selection. If a set is no longer available in the desired size, the new arrivals and shipped in 24h pages help locate other recently listed items.
