Gloves & Shin Pads

Officially Licensed Club Goalkeeper Gloves and Shin Pads

Playing protection rather than souvenirs. Goalkeeper and training gloves make up the larger half, with fuse shin pads alongside them in youth and kids sizes. Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Chelsea are among the clubs covered, with most items sized for junior players rather than adults.

Which size, and for what level?

Shin pads and gloves here are sized kids and youths rather than by a numeric scale, so they suit school and junior club football. Shin pads should cover from just below the knee to above the ankle — too short is the common error, and a slip-in pad that moves during a game is worse than none. Gloves should be snug with a little room at the fingertip.

Are these match-standard?

They are functional playing equipment built to be used and to wear out, not display items. Shin pads meet the basic protection requirement for junior play; what the licence adds is the crest and colourway, not a change in specification.
