A Brief History of soccer jersey

Soccer jerseys were around from 1848 but those were pretty basic clothing which ensured good ventilation but nothing beyond that. It was in 1870, a revolutionary change in the history of soccer uniforms evolved when the audience of a tournament asked the organizers to provide different teams with jerseys of different color schemes so that they can recognize the players easily. However, the intention of protecting players was not prominent even then which took several more years to become a reality.

During the 20th century, many players were highly interested in collar jerseys which became a fashion trend. Several tailors were taken on contract basis by teams to stitch jerseys for them. During these days, natural fibers were used and the idea of providing protective jerseys caught up. Tailors started adding protective pads that can protect a player from injuries during a fall or other physical injuries. During 1960s soccer became a very famous game and the collard jerseys made its way to V-necks and round collar ones. From those days, the jerseys offered several protection features.
You can classify a jersey's protection features as follows
1. Fabric - Highly durable nylon and polyester fabric were used to make jerseys. These were not easily damageable which gave them an edge in safety. Nylon is a thin fabric which helped the makers to reduce the weight of jerseys.
2. Mesh - Thick mesh is used to protect the players. Usually mesh is made up of natural cotton that can absorb sweat effectively.
3. Perforation - The nylon body of the jerseys come with neatly stitched perforators to ensure excellent air ventilation to the players. These also help the jerseys to dry out quickly.
When you see the jerseys worn by players today, you will be surprised to notice the change in fabric, design and other technical features of the jerseys that are worn by players today. If you like a player and would like to own the same jersey as he does, you can shop on internet and find authentic jerseys. However, there are replica jerseys also available that target people who only want the looks and have a low budget.

A Matter Of Identity about Soccer Jersey

Nothing identifies the game as much as the soccer jerseys. The soccer jersey is probably the most important part of the uniforms. It doesn't matter if it's a club or national team; the soccer jersey is typical and unique of the game.

The soccer jersey has suffered a lot of changes over the years. In the beginning, the jerseys were made mostly out of cotton and were relatively thick in comparison to the modern ones. This was a disadvantage because when the players used to sweat the shirt would get heavier and stick to the body.

Old day soccer jerseys were quite simple as far as design goes, usually white or dark and had polo like collars to them with laces or buttons. Some people don't know this, but the famous Brazilian yellow shirt we see today wasn't always yellow. In fact, it was white with blue collars. This uniform was used until the famous defeat to Uruguay in 1950.

As the years went by, the soccer uniform developed together with the textile industry. Another reason is because the game became more and more popular and more and more competitive.

There was a point where the soccer jersey wasn't cotton anymore and started to be made with synthetic material. This made the jersey much lighter than the cotton ones and doesn't stick to the body as much as the cotton ones. Together with the material change, design changes were being made, especially the colors. Most jerseys still had polo like collars. The more modern soccer jerseys are made with special dry technology material that doesn't get wet and doesn't stick to the player's body.

Nowadays, clubs and National teams use the soccer jersey for marketing strategies, with the name or logo of big companies on the shirt. Soccer fans in general buy a lot of soccer jerseys, especially the jersey with the club they support and their national team. Selling jerseys with the name of famous soccer players brings the sales up quite a lot, especially when these players are well wanted by the fans. It is very common to see jerseys with names like Ronaldinho, Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldo, Henry, Deco, Kaká and so many other famous players who are popular with the fans who support the teams they play for but also by soccer fans in general. The national soccer teams are also quite responsible for the selling of jerseys, especially the Brazilian, Argentine, German, Italian, English and French jerseys.

The soccer jersey manufacturers use a lot of marketing to sell their products and even come out with special edition jerseys and other marketing campaigns.

Owning an official Soccer Jersey of your favorite team has long been the sign of a true fan but with soccer team’s increasingly updating their official team jersey both the home and away Soccer Jersey and in some cases adding a regularly used third Soccer Jersey it is harder and harder for even the hardcore fan to keep.The breaking point came this season when all 20 English Premier League teams releasing a new home soccer jersey this season after 18 of the EPL team’s did the same last season. Tottenham Hotspur are the poster boys for jersey releases.

And for those curious about the two teams that did not release newsoccer Jersey last campaign with one coming out this season, that honor belongs to Arsenal and Liverpool so their fans must be happy.
