Football/Soccer Shirts - What Not to Wear by Thomas Baugh

If you're thinking of investing in a new football shirt to show your support for your local team, really think about your choice carefully before taking the plunge.

Football shirts range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and from the reasonably priced to complete rip offs. Therefore, if you're contemplating making a football shirt purchase then think before you act.

Allow me to take you through some of the worst mistakes you can make when buying a football shirt.

Firstly, make sure you know how long the shirt you're buying is current for. It might well be changing in six months time and if it's a present for a young one, they might refuse to wear outdated fashion!

Make sure you shop around, and don't just go to the official club shop. They'll more often than not sell at the top level price because they know people visiting the shop will pay top dollar. Visit other high street stores to compare, and if you have the time and inclination shop online for your football shirt. You might make some great savings.

Away shirts are a mine field fraught with potential danger so make sure you follow the two steps already mentioned. Away football shirts change nearly every year and designs can be forgotten as quickly as they're created.

If you're buying away football shirts and thinking you'll wear them to away matches, then think carefully. More often than not, your team will only sport the shirt once or twice a season meaning you'll often be wearing the wrong colours.

Now I'm not saying you should never buy a football shirt - I buy my teams quite often. If you want to do what I do though, just purchase the home shirt when it first comes out, enjoy two years of current fashion and repeat the process for the rest of your life!

Football shirts can still bring a lot of joy too many people, even more so when they're getting value for money.
