For as long as I can remember, I’ve always admired a nice uniform on a team. Playing youth soccer is a ton of fun and part of the excitement as a youth is having a great youth soccer uniform. There are many different brands and styles of youth soccer uniforms and in this guide, I’ll help you determine what the kids love in a youth soccer uniform, discuss different options and prices on the market.
When I started to play a competitive soccer at the age of 12, our team was one of the sharpest looking teams around. We chose to go with a club youth soccer uniform and we were dressed in youth Manchester United jerseys. Everyone always complimented our uniforms and we all loved wearing them. If the kids have a favorite team, youth soccer uniforms mocking a club jersey are a great way to go!
Some of the more popular teams that the kids may like to wear are Manchester United, Chelsea FC, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, AC Milan or their favorite MLS team. A lot of this may depend on their family background or the state in which they’re located.
Another fun way to make the kids feel like they have the best uniforms is by creating something unique. Many youth soccer uniforms can be custom designed straight from the manufacturer’s website. First you select the style, and then you go for design and colors. As for choosing the style, you’ll have options with material, from dry-fit to super-dry fit and usually made from polyester. Depending on the quality you choose, the higher the quality allows for the fabrics to extract moisture and keep the body cool.
One of the more popular youth soccer uniforms on the market today is made by Puma. The Puma Lyon Jersey is a great looking jersey with the Puma logo on each shoulder and the chest. It has a great sleek look with an open collar and banded cuff. It’s made from 100% polyester and is made with a moisture controlling weave. This youth soccer uniform can be purchased at Soccer.com for $31.00 per jersey.
Another popular youth soccer uniform is made by Nike. It’s called the Nike Rio Game Jersey. It’s a very simple jersey, but it’s pretty sharp looking. It’s extremely light weight for added comfort with a ventilation to keep the kids cool. It’s made with polyester and spandex panels. Once you get the team logo embroidered on here, the kids will love it. This is a bit more affordable than the Puma jersey mentioned above and can be purchased at Soccer.com for $20.00 per jersey.
I always recommend purchasing a home and an away jersey. If you prefer to only purchase one youth soccer uniform, then there are options to purchase reversible jerseys to guarantee you’ll never have a conflict with the other team’s colors. They also make long sleeve jerseys and this is a great option if the kids are playing late into the colder months.
Make sure to shop around and always ask the kids for their opinions before making a final decision. Youth soccer uniforms are a lot of fun for them and they’ll be the one’s wearing them! Good luck!
