Goalkeeper shorts adidas from top clubs

Arsenal and Bayern Munich, two clubs dressed by adidas

Arsenal, founded in 1886 in the London borough of Woolwich, has been wearing adidas since 2019 as part of a partnership extended until 2030. The Gunners' goalkeeper shorts come in adult and children's sizes, for young fans who are already in goal.

The Bayern Munich, founded in 1900, is one of the oldest partners of the brand with the three stripes, which is also a shareholder. The contract that binds the Bavarian club to adidas runs until 2030. Its away goalkeeper shorts take the colours of the goalkeeper's kit, always distinct from those of the field players.

The other, more technical goalkeeper shorts

If you are looking for a more technical short, check out the padded undershorts and lightweight shorts from Uhlsport or the Reusch shorts, a German specialist in the position. All the goalkeeper shorts, padded or match, are gathered on the main page.

La Mannschaft and adidas, a historic partnership

The German national team has played all its World Cups in adidas since 1954, the year of its first world title, won in Switzerland. This link between the Mannschaft and the Herzogenaurach brand has accompanied its four stars, in 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014.

The Germany goalkeeper shorts come in home and away versions, with the home short also available in an authentic version. They continue a tradition of great German goalkeepers, from Sepp Maier to Oliver Kahn, who have all defended the goals of the selection in a kit designed to stand out from the rest of the team.

Authentic or supporter goalkeeper short: the differences

The authentic version is based on the shorts worn on the field by the professionals: a more fitted cut, lighter and more breathable fabric, logos often heat-fused to save weight. It is suitable for the goalkeeper who wants exactly the match kit.

The supporter version has a slightly looser cut and a fabric designed to last through washes. It's often the best choice for playing every week in an amateur club, as it handles slides and abrasion better. In both cases, club goalkeeper shorts are generally not padded: a technical undershort worn underneath provides cushioning.

Finding a good deal on adidas goalkeeper shorts

Club goalkeeper shorts follow the rhythm of the kits: Black Friday and the holiday season are good times for a gift, ahead of the winter sales on the goalkeeper equipment promotions page. The French Days for goalkeepers in spring, the summer sales, and then the return to training precede the arrival of new designs, and the old ones then join the clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the goalkeeper's short not match the players' colours?

Law 4 requires each goalkeeper to wear colours that distinguish them from other players and referees, so that it is immediately clear who has the right to use their hands in the area.

Home or away short: which should I choose to play?

To play in a club, choose the one whose colour contrasts the most with the kits of your team and your usual opponents. To support your team, the home short remains the most recognisable.

How to choose the size of a child's adidas goalkeeper short?

Children's sizes for adidas are measured by age and stature: rely first on the child's height in centimetres. For a match short, a size up is acceptable, as it cinches at the waist with a drawstring.

How to wash a club goalkeeper short without damaging the logos?

Wash it inside out, at a maximum of thirty degrees, without fabric softener or dryer, and never iron on the heat-fused logos. These simple actions preserve the badge and inscriptions for years.

Can you wear a club goalkeeper short with a jersey from another brand?

Nothing forbids it in training or in amateur clubs, as long as the whole outfit is distinct from the field players. In competition, just check that your kit's colours comply with those declared by your club.
