Goalkeeper shirts: clubs, teams and kids

What is a goalkeeper shirt?

The goalkeeper shirt is the jersey worn by the goalkeeper during the match, with a cut and colours that purposely distinguish them from the rest of the team, making it easier for the referee and other players to identify them. It often features the club or national team's visual identity, but in a different colour than the home or away kit. It comes in short or long sleeves, with many goalkeepers preferring the latter version for comfort and protection of the forearms.

Club, national team or children's shirts: what can you find on this page?

This page gathers goalkeeper shirts from clubs like OM, Liverpool FC, PSG, FC Barcelona or Real Madrid, alongside goalkeeper shirts from national teams such as France, Croatia, Germany or Spain, designed for major international competitions. You'll also find more generic references from brands like Hummel, Macron, Erima, Uhlsport or T1TAN, suitable for club or leisure use. Each model is available in adult size and, for most teams, in children's size, sometimes with a long sleeve option designed for younger goalkeepers.

The distinction between supporter and player versions also applies to goalkeeper shirts: the supporter version, more accessible, follows the club's design without the technical finishes of the on-pitch kit.

What goalkeeper equipment can you find around the shirt?

The goalkeeper shirt is naturally complemented by other pieces of equipment, which you can check separately:

• The goalkeeper gloves, essential for catching the ball and protecting the hands.
• The goalkeeper baselayers, to wear under the shirt to retain warmth or reduce friction.
• The goalkeeper trousers, suitable for dives and ground support.
• The goalkeeper socks, often reinforced at the shin area.
• The goalkeeper sets, to fully equip a young goalkeeper from head to toe in one go.
• The protective gear, elbow pads and other pieces that limit injuries related to diving.

All these pages are grouped under the Goalkeepers category if you want to see all the equipment in one place.

How to choose a children's or adult goalkeeper shirt?

The choice is first made based on the club or team you want to represent, then on the cut: short sleeves for simplicity, long sleeves for protection and support. For a young goalkeeper, some references like the padded shirt Reusch add reinforcements at the elbows and shoulders, useful for training as well as matches. The brands available here, Nike, adidas, Macron, Hummel, Reusch and Errea, each offer their own cuts and materials, with children's and adult sizes depending on the model.

When can you find the best deals on goalkeeper shirts?

The prices of goalkeeper shirts mainly change around a few regular commercial highlights. The Black Friday comes first in the commercial year, followed by the end-of-year holidays, then the winter sales and the French Days in spring. It's during these times that it’s worth checking the Black Friday, Sales and Special Offers pages. Outside of these periods, the Clearance page features end-of-line items, and the Special Offers page may show occasional discounts. If you’re looking for the latest models, the New Arrivals page tracks the release of new collections, and the Shipped in 24h page helps to know which shirts ship quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find inexpensive goalkeeper shirts during the holiday season?

As the holidays approach, the Special Offers and Black Friday pages are the first to watch, as this is when discounts are most frequent on goalkeeper shirts as well as the rest of the catalog. These pages change throughout the year, so it's better to check them directly rather than relying on a discount announced elsewhere.

Are club goalkeeper shirts also offered on promotion?

Yes, club shirts like those from OM, PSG or Liverpool FC can appear on the Sales or Clearance pages depending on the period, especially when a collection is nearing its renewal.

What size should I choose for a children's goalkeeper shirt?

The size is chosen just like for a regular shirt, based on the child's age and body shape, keeping in mind that a children's goalkeeper shirt is sometimes worn over a baselayer. If you're outfitting a child from head to toe, the goalkeeper set offers coordinated outfits, which simplifies size selection between the top and bottom.

Is the long sleeve goalkeeper shirt used all year round?

The long sleeve shirt is mainly worn outside of the hottest periods, but some goalkeepers prefer it all year round for the support it provides to the forearms. To enhance protection against the cold without changing shirts, the goalkeeper baselayers can be worn underneath.

Should the goalkeeper shirt be complemented with other equipment?

It’s not mandatory, but most goalkeepers pair their shirt with suitable trousers and protective gear to limit injuries during dives. You can check the goalkeeper trousers and the protective gear to complete the outfit according to the level of play.
