Kids football kits: how to choose size, fit and a shirt-and-shorts set

Choosing a child’s football kit starts with a favourite colour or team. A useful buying decision also checks how the shirt and shorts fit together, what the set includes and which details need confirming before an order.

How do you choose a kids football kit? Compare the selected kit’s measurements with a shirt and shorts the child already wears comfortably. Check both pieces, confirm the contents of the set, and approve any name or number separately. Use the exact product’s size chart rather than age alone.

Three new children’s shirt-and-shorts sets

These references use the supplied front and back photographs. Each shows a short-sleeved shirt with shorts. Open a product page to compare both views and include its reference in your enquiry.

Argentina Green and Gold Kids Football Kit

Argentina children’s dark teal and turquoise shirt with gold trim beside turquoise shorts, front view
Green and gold reference: a dark teal shirt, turquoise centre panel and matching turquoise shorts.

The contrasting centre panel and gold-coloured shoulder and sleeve details distinguish this set. Its back photograph shows the reverse design without a large player name or number.

Argentina Blue and White Kids Football Kit

Argentina children’s sky-blue and white shirt beside black shorts, front view
Blue and white reference: a sky-blue shirt with a white centre panel, paired with black shorts.

Black edging and gold-coloured details connect the shirt to the shorts. Compare the two Argentina references by the whole outfit, including the shorts colour, when choosing a gift.

Germany Black and Gold Kids Football Kit

Germany children’s black shirt with gold-coloured vertical detailing beside black shorts, front view
Black and gold reference: a black V-neck shirt and shorts with contrasting white trim.

This set has fine gold-coloured vertical detailing across the shirt and white stripes on the shoulders and shorts. The back view shows a small Deutschland wordmark below the collar.

Photos identify the designs; confirm the supplied version, measurements, material and current availability for your chosen reference. This guide does not assign an unconfirmed season or a licensing status to the sets.

Choose measurements before an age label

Ask whether the seller’s chart describes the child’s body or the finished garment. These are different measurements. For example, Nike’s children’s clothing chart uses body measurements including height, chest and waist. That chart illustrates the distinction; it is not the size chart for these Resnap references.

For a garment comparison, lay a well-fitting shirt flat without pulling it out of shape. Record the chest width and body length using the seller’s measuring points. Then measure a comfortable pair of shorts. Share the values in centimetres and ask for the closest available match.

Measurements to request for the exact kit and size
PartWhat to compareQuestion to ask
Shirt chestFlat width at the agreed pointIs this a flat garment width or a body circumference?
Shirt lengthLength from the agreed shoulder point to hemWhere does the measurement start?
Shorts waistRelaxed waistband and stated stretch range, if providedHow is the waist measured?
Shorts lengthWaistband to hem at the agreed pointDoes this size match the shirt size in the set?

Keep some room for comfortable movement, but do not automatically order several sizes larger for growth. Compare actual dimensions and the intended fit. If a child falls between options, ask which piece differs most and whether separate shirt and shorts sizes are available.

Check the shirt and shorts as an outfit

A suitable shirt does not settle the fit of the shorts. When trying on a sample, check that the child can raise their arms, sit and bend comfortably. Look at the waistband and leg openings as well as the neckline and sleeves. The aim is a comfortable outfit for the intended activity.

Before paying, list exactly what is included. These photos show shirts and shorts; they do not establish that socks, printing or additional accessories are included. Ask about those items separately if you need a complete match-day outfit.

For a family or group order, keep one line per reference and size. Do not assume two colourways have identical measurements. Our blank order worksheet can help organise quantities and confirmation notes.

Confirm names, numbers and gift details early

Ask whether personalisation is available for the exact kit. Send the spelling, capitalisation and number in writing, then confirm the position, appearance, extra cost and preparation time. A blank back photo shows the photographed sample, not every available printing option.

For a gift, confirm the preferred design and a recent clothing measurement with the parent or carer. Send the delivery country and required arrival date before ordering, and check the quoted timing and return terms, including any terms specific to personalised items.

A simple checklist before confirming an order

  • Save the product link and choose the colourway.
  • Confirm shirt and shorts measurements for each size.
  • Check set contents and any requested name or number.
  • Confirm quantity, current availability and the full quotation.
  • Agree delivery details and applicable return terms.
  • Request the care instructions for the supplied item.

Follow the garment’s care label, particularly where decoration needs specific handling. Check temperature, drying and ironing instructions rather than assuming every children’s kit uses the same material or print process. Ask the seller if the instructions are missing.

Common questions about children’s football kits

Can I select a size using age alone?

Use the exact kit’s chart and current measurements to make the choice. An age label alone does not tell you the shirt width, length or shorts fit.

Are children’s kits the same as adult player versions?

Children’s sizing identifies the intended wearer; it does not establish a particular adult performance construction. Confirm the specification of the chosen kit. Our player-version and fan-version guide explains why version names need checking separately.

Do these three references include socks?

The supplied photos show a shirt and shorts. Ask about socks separately and confirm the final set contents in the quotation.

Where can I see the backs?

Each linked product page includes the supplied front and back photographs. Select the second image to inspect the reverse design.

Choose a reference and ask for its size chart

Browse the children’s kit collection or start with one of the three sets above. Send the reference, measurements, quantity and delivery country for a specific enquiry.
