The latest releases for the goalkeeper

When do new club goalkeeper kits arrive

Clubs unveil their new goalkeeper kits at the same time as their match kits, most often at the end of spring or during the summer, before the league restarts. Each goalkeeper kit comes in several colours, with some arriving later, including the third shirt. This is the case for the goalkeeper kits from Olympique de Marseille, signed by Puma, and from Arsenal, dressed by adidas. For a supporter, keeping up with new releases allows them to choose their favourite colour as soon as it’s available, and for a young goalkeeper, to wear the same kit as the number one of their club from the first matches.

Explore the new arrivals by equipment family

Each family has its own page: goalkeeper kits for club and team wear, goalkeeper sets to get everything at once, goalkeeper shorts and trousers depending on the season and the pitch, and goalkeeper socks to complete the outfit. Under the kit, goalkeeper baselayers and protection gear cover elbows, hips, and knees. The entire position is represented in the goalkeeper equipment.

Sets and team kits: new arrivals for playing

For club goalkeepers, new arrivals mainly concern team kits, which are regularly updated by brands. The Joma Area set features a matching goalkeeper shirt and shorts, continuing the line of kits that the Spanish brand dedicates to the position. The new goalkeeper shirts, shorts, and trousers focus on lightweight and breathable fabrics, with built-in protection for elbows and hips, and bright colours that stand out on the pitch. The baselayers and protections complete the outfit: undershirts, padded undershorts, or knee pads to wear under the trousers, allowing them to dive fearlessly on any pitch.

The goalkeeper tracksuit jacket for warm-up

The goalkeeper's warm-up begins well before that of the match players, often in cold weather, and a goalkeeper tracksuit jacket keeps the muscles warm during the initial ball handling. The one from Puma is part of the new arrivals dedicated to the position. A jacket can be taken off in seconds when it’s time to take the goal, and it protects the upper body during the long minutes spent waiting on the bench. Paired with goalkeeper trousers, it forms a complete pre-match outfit, which is also useful for specific training sessions in the winter.

Goalkeeper new arrivals and key moments of the year

Summer new arrivals often lead to the first offers of autumn: Black Friday and the end-of-year holidays are opportunities to treat yourself to the goalkeeper kit released a few months earlier. The winter sales, followed by the French Days of goalkeeper equipment in spring, take over. Promotions on goalkeeper equipment accompany the summer sales, and models replaced by new arrivals join the clearance just before training resumes.

Frequently asked questions

Can a new goalkeeper shirt be worn with an old short?

It all depends on the colour: a black short or one in a neutral shade matches most goalkeeper shirts. For a complete club outfit, however, it’s better to get the matching shorts, designed in the same colour as the shirt.

Should a new goalkeeper outfit be washed before wearing it?

A first wash inside out, at thirty degrees and without fabric softener, removes manufacturing finishes and softens the fabric. If you plan on adding a print, make sure it’s done on a perfectly clean and dry fabric.

Should you wait for promotions to buy a new arrival?

A new arrival comes in a wide range of sizes at the time of its release, while the most in-demand sizes go quickly. If you have your heart set on a specific colour or size, especially in kids, it’s better not to wait for it to go on sale.

Do goalkeeper new arrivals come in kids' sizes?

Most club goalkeeper shirts and team sets are released in both adult and kids' sizes. Check the available sizes for each model: some club kits only come in adult sizes, especially the authentic versions.

What new arrival should I choose to equip a beginner goalkeeper?

A coordinated shirt and short set, complemented by goalkeeper trousers for winter, covers the essentials. Add protections for the hips or knees if the child plays on synthetic pitches, so they can dive without fear.
