Soccer Uniforms
It’s plain and simple; the correct selection of soccer jerseys and
soccer shorts enhances a team’s ability to perform better.
 Nike
and adidas have led the way in the development of moisture management.
Moisture management fabrics grab sweat and move it away from the skin to
help regulate body temperature. Jerseys, shorts and socks made with
moisture management fabrics keep the player comfortable and dry.
In
the old days, everyone wore cotton. But, when cotton gets wet, it stays
wet. So, on hot days, you'd feel the heat and your skin would chafe. On
cold days, the water stayed near your skin and turned to a chill when
the wind blew. New micro fibers like Nike Dri-FIT or adidas ClimaCool
are designed to grab water molecules and actually move them away from
your skin. The moisture is transported to the surface of the fabric
where it evaporates. Most moisture management fabrics also resist odors
and mildew and won't shrink. The soccer uniforms are soft and flexible.
Many of the seams have been hidden, making the clothes even more
comfortable and reduces chafing.
Cotton Blends: These are a little better than all cotton. The
percentage of nylon, acrylic or rayon in a soccer uniform will help keep
the uniform dryer; but, the cotton fibers tend to hold water.
Nylon: An exceptionally strong, elastic fabric that is low in
moisture absorbency and is easily pre-colored or dyed. It's easy to care
for.
Polyester: A lighter more breathable, durable fabric. It is low
in moisture absorbency and easy to care for.
CoolMax: Made and patented by DuPont, CoolMax is a four-channel
spun polyester fiber engineered to move moisture and quickly evaporate
perspiration. It's light and dries quickly.
ClimaLite, ClimaCool and Dri-Fit Technologies
ClimaLite, ClimaCool and Dri-Fit technologies regulate your body's
microclimate. The front liner has CoolMax built in to wick sweat away
from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. Jerseys like adidas
Toque jersey and the adidas trofeo jersey.
Nike popularized moisture management with Dri-FIT technology. It was one
of the first patented moisture management systems on the market. Now
that it has been around for years, more athletes benefit from staying
sweat free. By providing the ultimate in moisture management, Dri-FIT
can help you perform better. Nike is proud to introduce the new
Centenario Game Uniform, Brasilia Pro Vent Uniform and the Rio Game
Uniform to this year’s Dri-Fit lineup.
The history of adidas is one of consistently meeting the evolving needs
of the athlete. By focusing on function, adidas strives to provide
athletes with clothes that can make a tangible difference in their
performance. ClimaCool was introduced by adidas to provide soccer
jerseys and soccer shorts with moisture management and ventilation. It
is a highly breathable fabric that ventilates and wicks moisture quickly
away from skin. ClimaCool keeps athletes cool, dry and comfortable. It
ventilates in critical heat zones.
