Do Players Still Swap Jerseys After Games?

Degag

Just wondering.

Thought after the United game tonight all the Aldershot players would have swapped jerseys but i think i only saw one of their players with a red jersey around his neck going off the pitch. I remember years ago it used to happen after almost every match, especially international matches. Has something changed?

The recession :pac:

I think a lot of them do change jerseys inside so they don't show off their boobies and that.

It's cold out probably do it in the changing rooms.

I still see it a bit actually. Not usually in league games and such but the last I can remember is Scholes and Iniesta swapping Jerseys after the Champions League final this year (end of last season). Even tho Iniesta had to put on a fresh Barcelona top when the team went to collect the cup :P

Supposedly Hartlepool banned Nobby Solano from swapping shirts because they could not afford to replace them.

It seems to be done more after internationals than club matches these days.

A friend of mine used to be a kitman of Bray Wanderers, no LOI teams are a loud to swap jerseys

He was also the kitman for the Irish team for a while. Since about 1998 all the jerseys or most of them have had the game and date printed on the front. Each player can do what they want with this jersey be in keep it or swap it.

On Sky Sports a few weeks back they interviewed John Walters who showed them around Stokes ground. He said each player is given 6 jerseys at the start of the season, they choose how many long/short sleeves one. This is 6 home, 6 away, 6 third btw so 18 total. These are just domestic jerseys, they would then be given European ones as the lettering is different.

After they have given away, broken, lost whatever the 6 jerseys they must then pay for new ones and I'm pretty sure they arent the €60 jersey you can buy in Lifestyle or Elverys, think they're fairly pricey

I cant imagine paying £100 for a jersey will affect them too much considering how much the likes of Crouch etc must be on at Stoke.

Well although they didnt swap shirts on the pitch, if you watch the footage, an Aldershot player asked Owen did he want to swap shirts and Owen was explaining to him he had already told another player he would swap, pointing him out. Owen still had his shirt on so presumably they were going to swap inside, I would imagine this would be the case for a lot of them.

If that is the case, the shirts they wear are around 200 euro iirc, they are available to buy online. Think they are called tech-fit or something.

Really? Thought they were just the same. Even still, 200 quid is pocket change to them.

Ive often seen Cork City players swap jerseys. If youre playing a team you play regularly I doubt you would want to though.

I cringe when i see lower level player sprint up to big name players for their jersey after games, especially after getting a pasting.

The biggest culprit I've ever seen for it:



He really was pathetic. Running up to the likes of Rooney and Gerrard after games like a little schoolboy, you wouldn't think he was a Premier League footballer himself the way he went on. Roy Keane soon put a stop to it.

Yeah a lot of players wear the Tech-Fit jerseys and to buy one online costs about €150 - €200!
