Long Sleeve Soccer Jerseys 101
Since the dawn of soccer, the game’s most bitter enemy of all has been cold weather. More than the short attention span of American spectators, chronic athlete’s foot, and the Washington Warthogs indoor soccer franchise, the chilling cold has threatened the future of soccer. When soccer was just spreading across the American mid-west in the late 1950’s, a bitter cold snap during one November evening hobbled the entire Junior varsity boy’s soccer program of Duluth, Minnesota’s John Jay High School. Seven boys lost appendages to frost bite and one, Little Jimmy Culligan, succumbed to the vicious Minnesota night. It was tragedies just like these which led the U.S. government to take action and convene the Conference on Appropriate Apparel and the Administration of Clothing for Soccer and Other Things, more colloquially known as CAAACSOT, the conference found that if soccer and “Other Things” were to be less dangerous in the midst of cold weather serious technological advancements and cultural shifts were needed. The Conferences most significant recommendation was that the “cooler” short sleeve soccer jersey was, according to Senator Archie Tinkins, “a threat to humanity and western civilization as we know them and must be done away with during the winter season lest the Communists in their bid for global hegemony destroy our way of life, one Junior varsity soccer program at a time.”Shortly after these remarks, the Federal government began funneling millions of dollars to NASA, the Department of Defense, and civilian contracted programs in order to develop what Senator Tinkins referred to as a “shirt that would fight Communism by its mere aesthetic and principle.” After 18 months of rigorous research and development as well as field testing in South East Asia and the Badlands of South Dakota, the U.S. government unveiled the “Long sleeve soccer jersey.” The rest is, as the historians say, history. After the Vietnam War, the U.S. government, eager to make some extra bones, accepted a bid by adidas for the patent and production of the long sleeve soccer jersey. Since the early 1970’s, long sleeve soccer jerseys produced by adidas, Nike, Joma, and everybody in between have been keeping soccer players warmer during vicious winter seasons and in some places, like the American mid-west, the rather nippy fall.This season adidas has a long sleeve soccer jersey to clothe even the coldest of arms. The OF long sleeve jersey is a very nice jersey, also there is the Squadra II long sleeve jersey, which comes in both a Men’s Squadra II long sleeve jersey and a Youth Squadra II long sleeve jersey, is a great option for late Fall ball or the winter season. You can even pair adidas Squadra II shorts and three stripe socks to make an adidas Squadra II long sleeve uniform, SHA-BAM! Nike is also carrying an excellent long sleeve soccer jersey during this long sleeve soccer jersey season, the Nike Rio II long sleeve jersey. The Nike Rio II long sleeve jersey, much like the adidas Squadra II long sleeve jersey, comes in both a men’s Nike Rio II long sleeve jersey and a youth Nike Rio II long sleeve jersey. While Nike and adidas provide excellent long sleeve jersey options it is an athletic company from Europe that has the most long sleeve jersey options this fall/winter season. Joma Sportswear, based in Spain, has a long sleeve soccer jersey option for nearly every short sleeve soccer jersey they produce. Joma sportswear uses high quality Dry MX fabric produced with a polyester interlock weave for a long sleeve soccer jersey that is both soft and durable. The Joma Terra jersey, Liga, Brasil, Europa, Champion, Eco, Pisa 10, and Premier all come in long sleeve jersey styles and are a perfect way to keep warm and comfortable during the cooler months. You can match any of these long sleeve Joma soccer jerseys with the Real or Tokio shorts and the Classic or Zebra socks for a uniform that looks good on the pitch and feels just as good to wear!
