How Soccer Uniforms Have Evolved

Soccer has been playing since the beginning of time, over 100 years today, however
the sport has grown significantly over this time period to become the exciting game we
have in the present. When soccer was first introduced, it was not common for players
to wear a matching strip, but this evolved into the game , with the first jerseys being
made from a thick cotton fabric. The earliest soccer jerseys were made of any type of
material that was available to the teams. One possible reason for the color of Atletico
Madrid shirts being red and white believed to be due to the fact that they sourced the
fabric from the mattress makers in the town, and this was the color of mattresses of
the time.

The heavy soccer uniform made of cotton have been replaced with many different
kinds of materials to make them lighter and more suitable for players. Nowadays, the
materials used are nylon and polyester since they are tough and affordable . They last
longer than cotton and are more light, which means that they impact the players less
than bulky soccer shirts that are 100% cotton.
A great deal of research and development goes into the process of making the latest
soccer jerseys. The leading brands like Nike, Adidas and Puma invest a significant
amount of money on cutting-edge technology for the fabric to increase the
performance of their football jerseys. Nike has Dri-fit technology as well as Adidas are
equipped with Climacool technology which helps keep the players cool while playing
and remove sweat from their bodies. This kind of technology wasn't present when
clothes were made from cotton, and they increased in weight as they became wet.

The fit of soccer uniforms has changed over time with many jerseys now sporting an
extremely tight-fitting design which is designed to make garments more comfortable
and to boost performance. When purchasing soccer jersey, it is essential to consider
the fit of the jersey to ensure you find one that are comfortable in. The shirts that are
tight fit are great when you've got the body however if you don't, you might need to
purchase an extra size.

There is a chance to find replicas of the older soccer shirts for those seeking the
classic style , but the latest soccer jerseys are an enormous improvement over the
previous design. The soccer jerseys are constantly evolving with new designs and
developments every year. I'm certain it won't take long before we will examine the
current jerseys and find them to be old-fashioned and outdated.
