It is not very often that you pay attention the clothes that each team is wearing or even think about how the uniforms became about. If you were to do some research on the soccer shirt, you may be surprised at some of the facts and information that you may find. For example, you will find that in the beginning of the game, teams did not have a specific uniform that they needed to wear. They had colored caps and scarves so that team members could be identified from each other and from the crowd. As time went on, there was a great demand to find a way to correct this problem so that teams would stand out and the games could be better organized. This is when the soccer shirt first came into play. They started out as white shirts with long sleeves and eventually became colored shirts that were solid and then of course designs started showing up. All teams needed to have their own color and could copy anyone else's. They also needed to register their specific colors with the club so that it could not be recognized by another team. Of course, fans started to purchase their teams colors so they could show their support for a favorite player or just for the team in general. It brought new life to the fans of the game and helped the economy as well. Coming into the mid 20th century, numbers started showing up on the backs of the soccer shirt and of course became statue for all teams. The number 1 was designated for the goalie and then each teammate received a number up to 11. Over time this changed but players still always received a number on the back. The style of shirt also changed over time to make it more comfortable for the players. They became lightweight and the material changed as well so that did not soak in all of the sweat of a player. This was to keep them cool during the time of play. Further into the 20th century, businesses started to place their company logos onto the shirts to advertise their companies. This meant that they would get publicity and because they paid the teams to do this, they were making money towards the equipment that they needed. The soccer shirt has been through many different changes since the beginning of the game. It started out as something plain and white and grew into a source of advertisement and identification. With all of the changes that have been made over the years, you can believe that more changes are to come in the pending future. They will be made to fit the players better, keep them cooler during play time and the design will probably become completely different as well. So watch the soccer shirt since changes are going to happen.
