Football kit is a serious matter. Obviously, kit quality is key – must be breathable, durable,
comfortable etc… But, have you considered whether your football kit is the right colour?
What you wear and how you wear it can make a difference to your team performance!
Back in the 1863 when the FA was established, players didn’t wear uniforms. Teams
were identified simply by wearing distinctive coloured hats and scarves. Uniform kits
first appeared in the 1870s and the colours adopted were often those of the university,
school or sports club associated with the team. For example, Blackburn Rovers first
wore the Cambridge University colours (blue and white) because several of the club’s
founders were educated there. So very early on in the history of association football,
team colours became more than just a practical way of distinguishing players of one
team from players of another – the colour of a team’s football kit took on an emotional
meaning. Studies show that their appearance in their football kit affects player
confidence and thus impacts on the performance of a team. Colour is likely to be an
important factor in this. Different colours are linked with various psychological
attributes. The colour red, for example, is often associated with strength and courage.
Manchester United adopted red and white as their team colours in 1902 and is one of
the most successful teams in English football history. Perhaps their football kit has
been a real factor in their success? It might sound a bit wacky – but remember the
infamous grey away strip Manchester United wore in 1995-1996? It was soon
abandoned after the team failed to win a single match. Players struggled to pass to
each other wearing the all grey strip and claimed that the kit wasn’t visible on the pitch.
