Soccer Shirts are More Than Just Shirts Wearing the shirt of your favorite team or wearing your favorite jersey is non-verbal communication. It is a small step towards communication but it actually means a lot, if you are wearing a jersey of your choice then it speaks a lot about yourself.

When you are wearing a jersey that has some applications for example; we get to know which team are you supporting, who is your probable favorite player or which number player are you supporting. This is some information that is not led out by the supporter but it is understandable.

Sure, the majority of the time, we’re wearing a soccer shirt because it’s the team we support, we like the design, it’s comfortable, fashionable and sometimes it’s one of the few pieces of clothing that


is clean and readily available. But a soccer shirt is much more than that.

Let us see in detail when a fan wears a shirt sends across a non-verbal message to the people come across him or walks past him. A soccer shirt can also be used for regular use, what all does it denote? A soccer jersey on a regular day makes you different. A soccer shirt stands out from an ordinary shirt. Jerseys are more colorful than ordinary shirt. People notice that you are different, this is liked by some and this is also not liked by some. If you are trying to send some message across through this jersey than you are a little different from what others think of you.

Again there could be something else too because you are also sending non-verbal messages to strangers that you are a soccer fan and


particularly which club or team. This is also like inviting new friends or new fans to come up to you and create a conversation. If you are a part of the branding company then if you are wearing such a jersey then that will help you do the branding then you will be able to convey your purpose. If you are brands like Nike, Adidas, other such brands then you can wear the jersey and do the branding. This will also help you to send the message that you want to send across.

Sometimes some people wear the jersey just for the sake of wearing the jersey, they might not be the fan of that particular team but just because they might have liked the jersey simply. So even you should be a little careful before bumping on to the person, he might not be a real fan. Corporations have their name and logo emblazoned across most soccer shirts. Whether we want to believe it or not, we are advertising corporate brands when we wear shirts of our favorite soccer clubs.

If your shirt features a number or perhaps any name on the back, you’re also communicating to the public that you support the player identified. Not everyone owns a soccer jersey so you are a real executive person who has a jersey of the favorite team. Not everyone can own an authentic jersey, now anyone can enter a club or pub in jersey, people would recognize you as very cool. Many do not even know how to find a real jersey.

These are just half a dozen of the nonverbal communications you send out there when you wear a shirt. There may be more than those. Sure, wearing a soccer shirt is a harmless joy. But whether you like to think it or not, you’re buying much more than the support of your favorite soccer team. You’re buying the attention of the public. But if you are reading this article, then you must be very careful at this point in time. You must know that there are very many fake jersey stores that sell jersey at cheap prices. The jerseys that are available at the cheap stores are just the fake copies of the jersey.


When you buy a jersey for yourself, be careful and buy the favorite jersey that you wish to buy.
