Soccer jerseys and soccer kits aren’t just something to wear to the pub or to a game whenever your team is playing, but they are a staple piece within the wardrobes of many men. You don’t even need to support a team to be able to wear one either, as some designs are so cool that they easily veer into streetwear territory.
Although, despite it looking ridiculously good, the less said about Fiorentina’s controversial soccer jersey, the better.
Manufacturers are very much playing up to this fact, providing limited edition tops that say more and more about the culture of the team they represent. They’ve even been known to work in collaborations, as highlighted by the sensational joint effort between Paris Saint Germain and Nike Air Jordan.
There was once a time when fans of a particular team had to wait two years before their side released a new version of a home or away kit, but brands such as Nike, Adidas and Puma pay soccer teams such huge amounts of money to produce their shirts, they now create new designs every season. And most teams even have a third kit and a training kit. Some die-hard fans are up in arms about this, but for those of us who looking for something stylish and handy for the odd kick around, it just means more choice, and even better, reduced prices come the end of the season!
But bear in mind that there should be some method behind buying your new soccer jersey. The last thing you want is someone asking why you bought one from a particular team without a good answer. A lot of people buy shirts from places they have visited, or because their family heritage goes back to a certain place, limited editions, collaborations, or of course because they actually support the team!
The biggest football shirt manufacturers such as Nike, Adidas and Puma are creating tops with a modern fit and with sweat-wicking fabrics that work with casual wear like never before, blurring the lines between sports clothing and fashion trends. So if you want a cool statement piece or just something classy to wear for a kick about, there are a lot of great options out there from the past and present, and here we’ve noted a few that have particularly caught out attention across recent seasons.
PSG 2022/23 Away
1/15
Price: From $175
Sizes: XS-XXL
Material: 100% Recycled polyester fibres
Paris Saint-Germain regularly put out stylish soccer jerseys that make as much of a fashion statement as they do set the tone for the club for the season ahead.
And, while we did prefer the previous season’s shirt due to its subtle pink accents, PSG’s 2022/23 away shirt is still an absolute looker. As ever, it uses Nike’s Dri-FIT technology for effective sweat-wicking and breathability, and it’s made from 100% recycled polyester fibres.
Real Madrid 2022/23 Home
2/15
Price: From $140
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Material: 100% Recycled polyester interlock
It’s all about retro vibes for Spanish club Real Madrid’s latest home jersey. With the iconic Adidas stripes across the shoulders in an attractive shade of purple and a polo shirt style collar, this is one soccer jersey that will look great both at a match or dressed down with a casual weekend outfit.
France FFF Home Stadium Jersey 2022
3/15
Price: From $115
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Material: Recycled polyester
We’re pretty sure France is incapable of producing a bad soccer jersey. The current world champions can always be relied upon to launch something slick, suave and sophisticated, that regardless of your opinions of the country’s residents, will always make you swoon.
This 2022 FFF Stadium Home shirt is a testament to that and, while we did love the country’s 2020 shirt, this latest design is just as impressive.
Italy Home Jersey 2022/23
4/15
Price: From $120
Sizes: S-XXL
Material: 100% Polyester
Current UEFA European champions Italy are another country that regularly delivers when it comes to stylish soccer jerseys, and the latest 2022/23 home edition continues that trend.
Puma has designed the shirt to highlight the country’s achievements on the world stage, with stars over the badge representing their World Cup wins and a quadrant design to “honour the four generations of World Champions.”
Italy’s home shirt uses recycled materials and features Puma’s dryCELL moisture-wicking performance technology.
Galatasaray 2022/23 Away
5/15
Price: From $48
Sizes: S-XXXL
Material: 100% Recycled polyester fibres
Turkish club Galatasaray has come out with an awesome looking away shirt for the 2022/23 season in the form of this all-black number. The club’s home colours of red and orange are integrated into the sleeve cuffs, and give the shirt a subtle but effective pop of colour.
Juventus Away Jersey 22/23
6/15
Price: From $110
Sizes: S-XXL
Material: 100% Recycled polyester interlock
Also going with an all-black theme for their away jersey in 2022/23 is Italian side Juventus. Widely regarded as not just one of the best teams in Italy, but in the world, Juventus has maintained a black and white colour scheme during their entire history.
This latest interpretation for the club’s away shirt is simple in its execution, and we love the v-neck design. While the club itself may be going through a slight dry spell in terms of trophies, we think this shirt is a real winner.
Arsenal Third Jersey 2022/23
7/15
Price: From $140
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Material: 100% Recycled polyester mock eyelet
London club Arsenal have made a great start to the 2022/23 campaign thus far, following a few years of lacklustre performances. While the club maintains its iconic red and white shirt for home games, this pink third jersey is the one that has caught our eye.
The pink colouring was a deliberate choice, and is inspired by the crest on the Royal Arsenal Gatehouse, which was the birthplace of the club. Adidas has also subtly incorporated an ermine tail into the shirt’s design, which was first seen on the Arsenal crest used in the late 1940s, making this an essential for die-hard Arsenal fans.
Liverpool Away Jersey 2022/23
8/15
Price: From $115
Sizes: S-XL
Material: Recycled polyester
Liverpool’s away shirts have been eye-catching for the past few years, but they don’t get more eye-catching than the 2022/23 away jersey. The dizzy design is inspired by Liverpool’s music scene and while it’s officially listed as black and white, we think plenty of people can get behind the multi-coloured swirling pattern.
AS Roma Home Jersey 2022/23
9/15
Price: From $90
Sizes: S-XL
Material: 100% Polyknit
After changing kit supplier from Nike to New Balance for the 2021/22 season, AS Roma have been putting out some exceptionally stylish shirts.
The Italian club’s 2022/23 home shirt proudly rocks the club’s colours of red and yellow, which also incorporates the club’s badge from the 1930’s. The henley collar makes a refreshing change to the usual sea of crew, v-neck and polo designs.
Bayern Munich Away Jersey 20/21
10/15
Price: From $90
Sizes: S-XL
Material: 100% Polyester
Bayern Munich has always been a force to be reckoned with in world football and this Adidas away shirt proves they’re masters of minimalist cool too. The combination of two shades of grey with orange text and logos is sehr sehr gut.
AS Roma Home Jersey 20/21
11/15
Price: From $90
Sizes: XXS-XXXL
Material: 100% Polyester
Roma is an Italian team to rely on for great looking jerseys and this 20/21 iteration is a testament to that. It brings back the “Ice Lolly” design that featured on the club’s shirt at the start of the 1980s, injecting some retro cool into this wholly modern Nike manufactured kit.
Liverpool FC Third Jersey 19/10
12/15
Price: From $170
Sizes: S-XXXL
Material: 100% Polyester
What a season Liverpool has had. Despite the lockdown period putting a halt on the season, Liverpool still managed to end their 30 year wait for another Premier League title. Naturally, you could get Liverpool’s iconic red home kit, but we think this third jersey in black with a gorgeous neon emerald green is the real dark horse. A champion jersey for a champion team.
Manchester City GK Jersey 20/21
13/15
Price: From $90
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Material: 100% Polyester
They may not have retained the title for the 2019/20 season, but Manchester City won’t let that put them down. They’ll be back next season to try and reclaim the title, but we think they’ve already won on this goalkeeper kit alone. Made by Puma, it rocks a subtle honeycomb pattern, while Puma’s dryCEII technology wicks sweat away from your body to keep you as cool as this shirt looks.
Tottenham Drill Kit Jersey 20/21
14/15
Price: From $170
Sizes: S-XXXL
Material: 100% Polyester
The Nike Training T-Shirt 2020/21 features Nike Dri-FIT technology and Nike Breathe Fabric, helping you stay dry and cool. The Nike Training T-Shirt 2020/21 is what the players will wear when they are training during the week preparing for a match for the 2020/21 season.
PSG x Jordan Fourth Kit 19/20
15/15
Price: From $115
Sizes: S-XL
Material: Recycled polyester
Such has been the success of PSG’s partnership with Jordan, this year they released four shirts! Designed with collectors in mind, it’s a take on their home jersey which features the Nike Swoosh, but coloured black instead of blue, with the Air Jordon imprint. It has a slim fit and also features the three colours of the French flag running vertically down the centre. This is probably one that looks better on the football pitch or stadium than the street, but a modern classic none the less.
