In the game of football there are five items that make up the kit. One of them is the soccer jersey. It is mandatory that the soccer jersey has sleeves which could be either long or short. The soccer jersey of the goalkeeper is completely different to that of the players so that he could be easily identifiable on the field. The referees are normally in black although now there is a tendency for them to wear other colours. The soccer jersey of the players of the National teams is in the colours of the country. For instance the Australians wear their soccer jersey in the colours of green and gold while the Dutch team will wear orange to symbolize the colours of Dutch Royalty.
The early sixties saw the soccer jersey go from being a buttoned down shirt to ones that had V necks or crew necks. The colours were solid so that when they played under lights they would be visible. The soccer jersey also sported the team logos.
Over the next two decades with the popularity of the sport further on the rise company sponsorships were beginning and their logos too needed a place on the soccer jersey. The size of the logo is dependent upon the rules.
