Black Friday: goalkeeper gloves, kits and equipment

What is Black Friday on Goal-Foot?

The Black Friday is the autumn sales event during which Goal-Foot offers discounts on part of its catalogue dedicated to goalkeepers. It takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, both in the United States and in France, and continues over the weekend and the following Monday, called Cyber Monday. On this page, you can find what's marked down at that time: gloves, shirts and goalkeeper trousers, protective undergarments, football boots, and accessories.

Outside of this period, the page remains online and serves as an entry point to other sales events on the calendar. It's the same address year after year, so you can bookmark it and return when the discounts start.

Gloves, outfits, shoes: the Black Friday selections

The Black Friday is divided into themed selections to avoid browsing the entire catalogue when you're looking for a single item:

• The goalkeeper gloves, the heart of the event: all brands, all cuts, for matches as well as training.
• The goalkeeper gear, for long-sleeve shirts, padded trousers and shorts, and protective undershirts.
• The shoes, worth checking out if you're waiting for a sale to renew your pair before the winter break.
• The selection for children, to equip a young goalkeeper or prepare a gift before the holidays.
• The equipment, the accessories and small gear section, including glove care products.
• The teams, for goalkeeper shirts and kits in the colours of clubs and national teams.
• The top brands, if you prefer to start with a brand rather than a product.

Which products are discounted during the Black Friday for goalkeepers?

The discounts cover the main categories of the catalogue: goalkeeper gloves, shirts, goalkeeper trousers and shorts, protective undergarments and shoes, in both adult and junior sizes. For gloves, all cuts are included, negative, roll finger, flat or hybrid, with or without finger spines, in match latex as well as more durable training latex.

You will find both current collection models and older series still available in certain sizes. An older collection of gloves is still a brand new product, simply from a previous generation, and it’s often on these remaining sizes that the price differences are the most noticeable. If a specific size matters to you, that's the first point to check before choosing a model.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy goalkeeper gloves?

Yes, because gloves are the most frequently recurring expense for a goalkeeper: the latex wears out over time, especially on synthetic pitches, and a match pair usually needs renewing several times a season. The Black Friday falls in the middle of the season when the early-year pair often starts to wear out.

It’s also a chance to create a rotation: a match pair with very grippy latex for the weekend, and a more durable training pair for the week. Alternating the two extends the lifespan of each. For a young goalkeeper who grows quickly, a sales event is the logical time to get the next size up without delay. The rest of the year, the goalkeeper gloves page features the full catalogue.

Uhlsport, Reusch, adidas, T1TAN: the brands available

Several specialist brands shape Goal-Foot's Black Friday selection. Uhlsport and Reusch are the historical references for goalkeeper gloves, with ranges that cover everything from training to high-end. adidas and Puma offer their lines of gloves alongside their goalkeeper shoes and shirts. Joma offers many accessible models, while T1TAN and Rinat attract many goalkeepers with their cuts.

If you start with a specific brand rather than a product, the top brands selection allows you to go that route. To compare outside of sale periods, the brands page and the sections for goalkeeper gloves and goalkeeper gear showcase the full catalogue.

How to prepare for your purchases before Black Friday?

The most effective method is to identify the products in advance, then check their availability in your size as soon as the sales event starts. The most common glove sizes and popular models from leading brands sell out quickly, and an out-of-stock model in a size doesn’t necessarily come back.

Also, note your exact size in each brand: size charts are not identical from brand to brand, and a sizing mistake results in poor fit and feel. Lastly, think about needs that aren’t immediate but certain, such as a second pair of gloves, a latex care product, or padded trousers for hard winter pitches.

Where to find good goalkeeper deals the rest of the year?

Goal-Foot runs several sales events throughout the year. In chronological order, the Black Friday kicks off the discount season in late autumn, just before the Christmas selection, which is mainly for finding a gift for a goalkeeper during the end-of-year festivities.

This is followed by the winter sales, a period when current collections and end-of-series items are marked down, then the French Days in spring, a shorter event that falls between the two sales. The summer sales take over, before the new collections of gloves arrive.

Continuously, two pages function outside the calendar: the clearance, which groups end-of-series items and past collections still available, and the current promo codes. These are the two addresses to check when you’re looking for a good deal outside of major events.

Frequently asked questions

Where to find cheap goalkeeper gloves during Black Friday?

The discounted models are gathered in the selection of gloves for Black Friday from Goal-Foot, all brands and cuts combined. The full catalogue, with all sizes, can be viewed on the goalkeeper gloves page. First, check your size, as it limits the choice during a sales event.

Are there high-end gloves on sale during Black Friday?

Yes, match gloves from leading brands are part of the discounted products, especially when a new generation comes in and the previous one leaves the catalogue. These older series remain new gloves and often feature among the most heavily discounted. The clearance also includes some of them all year round.

When do the discounts for Black Friday start?

The Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, so at the end of November, and it’s common for discounts to start several days earlier, during what is called Black Week. The event ends the following Monday, Cyber Monday. The easiest way is to check the Black Friday page as this period approaches to see what’s already discounted.

How to equip a young goalkeeper at a low price during Black Friday?

The selection for children includes gloves in junior sizes, long-sleeve goalkeeper shirts, and padded trousers and shorts. For the gloves, it's better to choose the size that fits today rather than anticipating growth: a glove that’s too big loses support. A durable training pair to complement their match pair will serve well all season.

What if I missed Black Friday?

The discounts don't end with this event: the selection Christmas takes over during the holidays, then the winter sales arrive a few weeks later, followed by the French Days in spring. Outside these major events, the clearance gathers end-of-series items and past collections still available all year round.
