Shirts of different colours were used by public school football teams pre-1840. I have added this to the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinigi (talk • contribs) 07:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
This article states "Organised association football was first played in England in the 1860s, but at this time the concept of standard team colours had not come about. Teams would generally play in whatever clothing they had available". I will bet that there are contemporary examples where specific shirts were used in the 1860s by football clubs... but I do not have time to check. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinigi (talk • contribs) 08:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I have recently added an article about headgear in soccer, titled Association football headgear. As it is a form of equipment for the sport, if any of the users and editors of this page could look it over and give me feedback, that would be very helpful! Thanks! Swanyk (talk) 00:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Replica shirt seems more of a section of the kit article than a free-standing article, at least at the moment. Feedback welcome! --iamajpeg 00:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Kit (football) → Kit (Association football)- The move would be in-line with the recent moving of the page Football (soccer) to Association Football.--Lucy-marie (talk) 12:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Very good article, but I have concerns about its Anglocentric nature. I'm not entirely sure how this ought to be rectified, so opposing the FAC would perhaps not be actionable. However, some comments and suggestions:
Am I allowed to add a section about the kit for female footballers in muslim countries? Obviously there are some major differences visivi the players' kit in other countries...... [1]

The current article on goalkeeping gloves in small poorly sourced and creates a disparity of information. The two articles should be merged to give a complete picture of all kit worn by all players on the pitch.--Lucy-marie (talk) 16:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Goalkeeping gloves article definitely needs to be merged. You could make a sub-section of the Kit (association football) article called goalkeepers, and also talk about why the goalies jersey is different.--Weisebar (talk) 05:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.73.209 (talk)
I don't like this:
If I could find a cite I would prefer something along the lines of the following:
I admit the national colours article is currently rather poor, but it's undoubtedly the case that football strips are normally the same colours as the strips a country uses in other sports. That's true for Italy, and even for Scotland (pace Queen's Park) depending on the shade of blue in St Andrew's Cross. One exception that might fill up the space is New Zealand's All Whites, from the days when only the referee wore black. jnestorius(talk) 19:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
.......thoughts? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
References
"Scotland wear dark blue as their first ever team was made up entirely of Queen's Park players, who wore their dark blue club shirts for the match"
I thought Scotland wore blue strips with white because its the colour of the Scottish flag. The reference provided states that Queens Park wore blue shirts for the first match, but it doesn't say this is the reason for Scotland continuing to wear blue shirts. Anyone albe to cast some light on this? --Neldo (talk) 13:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
I did put the following text in about this issue, but it was deleted. Not exactly sure why.
The first international football kit comes from the first rugby international of the 27 March 1871. In this the English team wore white with a red rose and the Scots brown[1] with a thistle. It is possible, however, that similar soccer kits conveying national identity were also worn at the first ever international Association Football matches of 1870 and of 1871 at the Oval, London. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinigi (talk • contribs) 12:20, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
References
Why is there no disambiguation link to Kit at the top of the page? Many, many uses of the term and for a FA users might be confused about other uses. Keegantalk 05:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The article claimed "A kit (also known as a "strip" or "uniform")..." This is obviously incorrect, because a strip doesn't include boots, shin-pads etc. I hope I have clarified this important distinction in the lede. Ericoides (talk) 09:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I've heard plenty of references to the xxxx kit (including England). I think, like so much else in football, this is a regional thing. When I was a teenager, I met a Mancunion, who talked about playing "in goals" when they were using "a casey". I hadn't ever heard either term before. --Dweller (talk) 19:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The wiki page begins by specifying " 'A' kit" . . . is this correct, to use the article "a" as part of the term? Or should it begin with just the the word "Kit"? Ed8r (talk) 14:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The first sentence in the paragraph on FC de Rakt skirts situation doesn't make to much sense to me ("that all players, regardless of gender, must wear the same kit"). From what I understand, the problem there was not that they wore different kits (in fact they all wore the same kit with a skirt, no?), but that any type of skirt is a violation of the Laws of the Game, which specifically demand "shorts"?

I have removed the Image as there are a number of images all ready within this article and the addition of more Images is creating image congestion. the caption with the Image also failed to state the purpose for including the Image.--Lucy-marie (talk) 18:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
I also removed the image due to Image congestion. The article has a large number of images and is in my opinion full. the addition of more images is almost a detraction from the quality of the article. The image also isn't that good at portraying the uniqueness as It is too small and there is interference in the foreground of the image.--Lucy-marie (talk) 19:27, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
It appears as if this article has too many images, Can we discuss which images are truly appropriate for the article and which are banal and superfluous. Not all images deserve to be in the article.--Lucy-marie (talk) 19:30, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
There is a myth that Spurs pioneered the retro trend in the 1991 FA cup final. Several French clubs were wearing this baggy style during the 1988-89 season. When Clive Allen played at Bordeuax, they had a baggy design. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.212.158 (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is true but I remember reading somewhere (I believe here) that there are a few clubs that have the right to always wear their 1st choice kit, no matter if theres a clash. I think it was Preston North End for being the 1st club to go a season unbeaten, Reading for being the "Royal" club and (I think) Sheffield F.C. for being the worlds first football club. It was also saying that the clubs seem to disregard this historic right to gain more sponser revenue. Was this ever on this page? The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 20:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
My English is to bad to write on the article, so I'm writing here. Sorry. The article said that Leeds began to sell replica shirts in 1975 ; but Paris Saint Germain FC sold its first replica shirts in december 1974 (Paris Saint-Germain FC-Stade de Reims, matchday programme, december 8, 1974, p.8 : Six sizes available of the replica shirts were on sale since december 15, 1974 ; Six selling spots in Paris or by mail order. The PSG president was the fashion designer Daniel Hechter, and for him it was natural to sell that kind of stuff. I really dont know if they were the first to do that. I really doubt it. The article said that a German club introduced adverts on the shirt in 1973 ; French clubs can have adverts on their shirts since 1969 (fr:Alfred Wahl, Les archives du football. Sport et société en France (1890-1980), Paris, Gallimard, 1989, p.330 ISBN 2070716031). With only 6000 spectators average per game in Division 1 at that time, they badly needed money...

There is no correct data available about when the IFAB made wearing of boots obligatory. There are tails about India's national team which played bare-footed in the Olympics 1948. I have only a rule book of 1948, and there are boots termed as a part of kits. --213.225.0.173 (talk) 15:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC).

Was 1994 really the year officials were allowed for the first time to wear others colours than black? According to the reference, this is not the case. Or ar least I have seen officials at the 1986 World Cup wear red strips... All N Ever (talk) 12:49, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
