Arsenal is one of the most successful Premier League football clubs, since the clubs foundation in 1886 they have won thirteen top flight league titles. The team play at the Emirates Stadium in London, there traditional kit colours are red and white however the Arsenal away soccer shirt is well known for its stylishly contrasting looks, last year's purple and black design was extremely popular and this season's vibrant yellow kit is likely to be equally so.

There are a variety of different factors that need to be looked at to establish the difference between a great and not so great soccer shirt. It is not always the initial appearance of a shirt that makes the difference, the way that the shirt has been manufactured and the technologies that have been used make the item good or bad.

Soccer jerseys can be made from a variety of different materials, this can help you with performance and can either help you to play with ultimate comfort. An example for me would be the Spain Home Soccer Shirt, this product has some amazing features including Climacool technology, integrated in to the fabric by Adidas this will ensure you stay cool, dry and comfortable during the game.

Over the last decade Chelsea football club has grown in popularity in both the UK and around the world.  Sales of Chelsea kits including the home, away and Chelsea third soccer jersey have soared.

This is more than likely to be due to the phenomenal success of the Chelsea soccer team since the club was bought by the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2003.

Roman Abramovich has invested heavily spending over £100m on new players in the first year, he has been ruthless in the team's management hiring and firing ten managers since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Abramovich's approach seems to have the desired effect as the players who wear the

Many professional footballers have seen their careers end as a result of a bad football injury, this could be self-inflicted, for example falling badly on your ankle during training and breaking or fracturing a bone. It could also happen during a match, another player may cause you serious injury with a bad tackle, such as a slide in your shin and this may not have been done purposely but can still cause significant harm. Shin pads are a great way of ensuring this does not happen and most surprisingly, socks. Yes socks are only made up of soft materials but it has been proven that they can help prevent injury during football. The Newcastle United home soccer socks are a great example of a product you could look in to purchasing to ensure your safety during your favourite sport.

The main point of football socks has always been to hold the

Over recent years there has been much debate and discussion surrounding the decreasing emphasis of sport in schools and the increasing number of children who are classified as overweight.  There are a number of new initiatives intended to encourage increased sport activity in schools.  Getting into kids football kits and other sportswear at school is aiming to help all children increase their activity levels. 

It is recommended that children are physically active for at least one hour every day, however recent research has found that only 51% of children meet this target. The percentage of girls meeting the recommended target is significantly lower than that for boys.

Schools can help boost this percentage and improve the health of children by promoting activities such as soccer, getting children into

Protecting parts of the body from injuries is a technology that was first used as long ago as the Middle Ages, when warriors used guards to protect themselves during battle.  Over the years multiple sports have used the same idea to give their players protection from injury. Soccer is one of today's modern sports where players use sports kit such as the Adidas Predator Club Blue Shin Pads to prevent injuries during training and whilst on the pitch. 

Shin pads have evolved from the ancient idea of a 'greave', this is described as armour specifically worn to protect the shin, it was often made from some kind of heavy metal such as bronze.

The first sport to recognise the need for body protection and introduce the use of shin pads was cricket, soccer followed their example in the late 1800s, however the guards worn were no where near as effective for sports use
