History of Football Jersey

History of Football Jersey
History of Football Jersey. Football jersey numbers of players are usually explained in the back of the suit the player's position and fame. Not infrequently, the number used is a sacred number of top players, such as Pele and Maradona are always number 10.

Interestingly, when the number back at costume ball players began to use? The answer is dated August 25, 1928. At that time, Arsenal and Chelsea back incised numbers on their shirts during a match against The Wednesday (later Sheffield Wednesday) and Swansea Town on the same day.

After several experiments - of course there are those who think the number one jersey cons can damage the color of the costumes - the UK decided to impose the number back as a permanent form of costume footballer. Initially, the starting eleven players wearing clothes that traced back number from the numbers 1 to 11, and a player can use a number of different backs in a season.

Although there are no definite rules that determine the jersey number represents a certain position on the field, a de facto standard has emerged and used most of the football team, with a few exceptions.

In general, the goalkeeper wears jersey number 1. Unwritten agreement is almost universally accepted. Defender or defender using numbers 2 and 6. The midfielder mostly wore number 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 (numbers 11 and 7 are typically used by the left- and right- winger). While the strikers like using numbers 9 and 10, and at number 7, 8, and 11.

When the system was introduced substitutions in football in 1965, took the bench back number 12 and so on. For the record, in the period since the number 13 is still forbidden superstition as an unlucky number.
The use of a back number assigned to each player definitely in a squad was introduced at the 1954 World Cup. Each player from each of the countries included in the list of 22 players has to wear particular jersey number and the same throughout the tournament. As a result, the number one jersey can be given 12 to 22 other players in the squad, without the need to pay attention to the position of the player on the field.

A team can enter the player as a starter without the need to give priority to players numbered 1 through 11. Although the numbers 1 through 11 are tend to be given to the key players, the fact that a player may choose a popular figure. Example: Johan Cruyff who insist on using the number 14.


Argentina to be different
At the World Cup in 1978 and 1982, the Argentine national team tries to be different. They sort the players by name in alphabetical. As a result, the players on the bench (not the goalie) can use the jersey number 1. This incident resulted in the Agency World Football (FIFA) eventually lay the regulations may only goalie who wears jersey number 1.

The Emergence of Sponsors
The concept of sponsor on the shirts football jerseys is fame in the 1950s. In this era of Austria, Denmark, and France is the country that some soccer clubs began to show their sponsors on the jersey. This is done in an attempt to earn extra income.

However, not all clubs in Europe do the same. Therefore, many leagues in mainland Europe countries prohibit the logo and name on a club shirt uniform other than the name and logo of the club itself.
         
The new era of sponsorship on the shirts soccer jersey occurred in 1973. Is Günter Mast, pioneering figure who had the idea to sponsor a football club in the year.

At that time, Günter Mast cooperate sponsorship with a club called Eintracht Braunschweig. Günter Mast Jagermeister logo put on a t-shirt club that plays in the Bundesliga. Jagermeister is a brand of alcoholic beverages which are the main products of the company Mast - Jägermeister AG based in Germany.
Actually Jagermeister logo had previously been released as Mast - Jägermeister AG sponsoring motor racing team. However, the sport of soccer that has many enthusiasts considered promising opportunities far greater for promotes. Mast was diverting links from football to motor racing.

For this collaboration, Eintracht Braunschweig gets paid around 160,000 to 800,000 Marks for a five-year contract period. Eintracht Braunschweig put Jagermeister logo on the front of the uniform shirt of this club.

At first the German football association did not pass the request to wear a T-shirt Eintracht Braunschweig contained jersey sponsor logos. However, when all of the players the club chose to replace their traditional logo with the logo of Jagermeister, the league was not able to do anything about it. Eintracht Braunschweig is wearing new uniform on March 23, 1973. Seven months later, the sponsor of the official soccer jersey shirt is legalized by the Bundesliga.

English Premier League threatened to impose large penalties on clubs who wore a uniform that includes writing or logos of corporate sponsors. The new English Premier League began allowing soccer jersey shirt sponsor in four years after the German do.
