Home, away, third, fourth: the outfits of a club
Every club has a set of kits. The home shirt features its historic colours: the white of Real Madrid, the blue and maroon of FC Barcelona, the red of Bayern Munich or Liverpool. The away shirt comes into play when the colours of both teams clash, and the third offers a third option, often bolder in its shades. FC Barcelona has even gone for a fourth shirt, the fourth, which is less commonly seen. These kits change from year to year, while the home kit remains most true to the identity of the club: it is the one supporters choose first, during French Days and throughout the year.

The national team shirts
A national team shirt bears the emblem of its federation and colours that have become nicknames: the Argentine Albiceleste, the Spanish la Roja, the Brazilian Seleção in yellow and green, and the Blue Samurai of Japan. Morocco, the national team of the Lions of the Atlas, plays in red and green; Algeria, known as the Fennecs, alternates between white and green. These kits are released in line with major competitions and are worn well beyond the pitch, during matches followed with family or friends. Pre-match shirts, like Morocco's child version, feature the national colours in a more relaxed design, the one the players wear during warm-ups.
Technical fabric and ventilation: what a player wears
A football shirt is made from lightweight polyester, increasingly sourced from recycled bottles, which wicks sweat away and dries in minutes. Authentic versions add perforated areas under the arms and on the back, and a fitted cut that does not flutter in the wind. At adidas, the HEAT.RDY technology equips players' shirts, while supporter versions receive a thicker fabric. For Sunday football, the team shirt takes over: the Joma Eco Supernova, made from recycled polyester, or the Hummel Referee shirt focus on durability and ease of maintenance.
Washing a printed shirt without damaging it
The printing and crest are the most delicate parts of a shirt. Turn it inside out before putting it in the washing machine, at a maximum of thirty degrees, on a delicate cycle without fabric softener, which can clog the technical fibres and reduce breathability. The drying is done in open air, in the shade, never in the tumble dryer, as the heat can cause the thermoplastic letters to peel. If a crease marks the fabric, iron on a low setting from the reverse side, avoiding the print. After a match, take the shirt out of the sports bag immediately to prevent it from staying damp, which can cause stubborn odours and stains.
Frequently asked questions
What size shirt should an adult choose?
Your usual t-shirt size is suitable for a supporter version. For an authentic version, which is fitted, take one size up if you prefer more room around the shoulders and midriff.
Can you play football in a club shirt?
Yes, both supporter and authentic versions are made from technical polyester that wicks sweat away. For intensive use, have a shirt dedicated to the pitch and keep the one printed with your favourite player's name for the stands.
Why does the PSG shirt have a red stripe?
The vertical red stripe bordered in white on a blue background was designed by couturier Daniel Hechter, who led the club in the 1970s. It adorns the most iconic home kit in the Paris Saint-Germain history.
What does the motto of OM mean?
“Droit au but,” written on the Olympique de Marseille crest, sums up the offensive spirit of the club founded in 1899. Supporters find it on the shirts, associated with the white and sky blue of the Marseille club.
What shirt to choose for a eight-year-old child?
Take size 128 or the size indicated for eight years in the brand's guide. If they are growing quickly, the next size up will give them an extra year, with a supporter version being able to handle a looser fit.
