You're going to want all of these as the temperature drops
With winter drawing in, those summer days when it was too hot to play football seem a lifetime away. Nowadays, it's the cold biting at you at five-a-side every Wednesday.
The change in weather doesn’t mean that you need to give up your weekly kickabout though, so we’ve pulled together 10 training gear pieces that will help you get through those cold, cold nights in the cage.
Shop: Best football training gear
Arsenal has been churning out some top-level pre-match and training gear for a while now – referencing everything from the Bruised Banana kit to the London Underground. One of the best is their most recent, which celebrates the club’s Jamaican fans through its yellow, black and green pattern. It was released to coincide with this year’s Carnival, but it can still bring the heat in the depths of winter.
In case you haven’t heard, Venezia are the coolest club in the world at the moment. The Italian team has continued its work with Kappa and Bureau Borsche onto its pre-match gear, and this jacket is perfect for keeping warm. Its colour palette brings the club’s gold, green and orange colours onto a black base, but the stand out feature is the Kappa logos down each arm, alternating between green and orange.
Everyone remembers 2018 and Nigeria’s record-breaking Nike kit. This year, they’ve released more heat. One of the stand-out features is the Academy Pro jacket, which comes in the country’s black and green colours and is covered with two slightly different geometric patterns. As if that wasn’t enough, its moisture-wicking fabric will keep you warm while also keeping the sweat away.
All adidas training gear this season follows the same format – just look at Arsenal’s Jamaica-inspired design – but one of the best is Real Madrid’s. Everything has been kept simple, with the club’s white and purple colours used for the diagonal stripes. It’s a pretty clean design, and the brushed fleece interior guarantees warmth.
