Soccer Goalkeeper Uniform

• A goalkeeper’s uniform is distinct from the rest of the team to easily identify them, as they have special rules and responsibilities. Here’s a breakdown of the components:
  1. Jersey (Shirt):
     • Color: Always different from the outfield players and referees to stand out. Typically, it’s a bright or contrasting color.
     • Fit: Slightly looser than outfield jerseys to allow for better movement, especially when diving or stretching.
     • Material: Breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to keep the goalkeeper dry and cool during the game.
     • Padding: Often includes padding on the elbows and sometimes shoulders to protect during dives and falls.
  2. Shorts or Pants:
     • Fit: Either shorts or long pants, depending on preference or weather conditions.
     • Material: Like outfield players’ shorts, they are lightweight and moisture-wicking.
     • Padding: Some goalkeepers wear padded shorts or pants to cushion impacts on the hips and thighs when diving.
