The French place to gear up before the end of the season or the return.
Teamwear: dressing a whole club in the same range
Teamwear refers to the collective outfits of a club: jerseys, shorts and match socks, complemented by tracksuits, bench jackets and bags. Choosing a consistent range that the brand keeps in its catalogue for several years allows new recruits to be dressed identically. The Italian Errea, the Danish Hummel, the Spanish Joma, founded in 1965 near Toledo, and the German Erima, established in 1900, offer their models from children to adults. The printing of numbers on the back, and sometimes the club's logo, is arranged at the time of ordering for the whole team, respecting the colours set by the competition rules.
By type of item
The French Days football is organised by type:
Goalkeeper gloves: negative cut, roll finger or flat cut
Uhlsport, which introduced the first goalkeeper glove with a foam back in 1970, remains a reference for the position. The negative cut, with seams placed on the inside, fits the hand and provides precise contact with the ball; the roll finger cut, where the latex wraps around the fingers, enlarges the grip surface; the flat cut, which is wider, is the most durable. A soft latex grips better but wears out faster on synthetic surfaces: many goalkeepers keep one pair for training and another for matches. After use, the latex is rinsed in lukewarm water, without soap, and then dries in the open air, away from a source of heat that hardens it.
The other French Days
The French Days are also available by universe: sneakers, lifestyle, running, outdoor, indoor, racquet sports, combat sports, brands, on the French Days page.
Junior players: balls, shoes and appropriate protection
For the young ones, equipment keeps up with growth. The ball goes from size three for under-nines to size four for under-tens to under-thirteens, before moving to size five; lighter versions, like the Hummel Inspire Club Lite, ease strikes and headers. Junior shoes should be chosen with at least one centimetre of space in front of the toes: if they're too big, they hinder ball control. Shin guards are mandatory from the very first competitions, and high socks keep them in place. The Joma Glasgow shorts and the child jerseys from major clubs complete the outfit.

Frequently asked questions
How to become a professional footballer at thirteen?
At this age, one plays in the club in the best possible categories and gets spotted during district or league trials. Training centres then recruit, often around fourteen or fifteen years old, requiring the continuation of schooling.
What studs for synthetic turf?
An AG sole, with short and numerous studs, is designed for artificial grass; an MG sole can also handle natural grass. Screw-in studs are prohibited: they grip too much and damage the surface.
Why does the goalkeeper wear a different colour?
The laws of the game require the goalkeeper to wear an outfit that distinguishes them from other players and referees. Their long-sleeved jersey is often reinforced at the elbows, and shorts with hip protection complete the outfit for hard pitches.
How much does a size five football weigh?
It weighs between four hundred and ten and four hundred and fifty grams at the start of the match, with a circumference of sixty-eight to seventy centimetres. Lighter balls intended for children weigh significantly less.
How to wash a printed football shirt?
Turned inside out, on a delicate cycle at no more than thirty degrees, without fabric softener or bleach, it maintains the quality of its print. It should be dried on a hanger or flat, never in the tumble dryer, and never ironed over the numbers.
