Football Gear: FAQs

What football gear do I need to play?

Whether you're new to football or an experienced player, there’s essential gear, including protective equipment for football, that you need to stay safe. This includes:

A high-quality helmet

A mouthguard to protect your teeth

Shoulder pads that sit under your football jersey

Football cleats for stability on the field

Football pants with built-in padding

 

How do I choose the right football gear for my position?

Different positions on the field require different football accessories and gear. For example:

Quarterbacks: QBs rely on speed and mobility, so they need gear that allows for quick movement across the field. Since they're at higher risk for concussions due to their role, they require helmets designed with extra protection.

Linemen: Linemen need sturdier, more protective gear to handle the impact of tackles. Shoulder pads and helmets are crucial, along with gloves to protect their hands.

Running backs: For running backs, a good pair of lightweight, low-cut cleats can allow them to quickly change direction as needed. Remember to get cleats designed specifically for football. Cleats from our baseball gear section won’t cut it. Plus, gloves can help with their grip on the ball.

 

How should I clean and care for my football gear?

Each piece of football gear has its own instructions for care. For instance, football jerseys and pants should be pre-treated for stains and washed with a mild detergent. It’s a good idea to air-dry football accessories rather than putting them in the dryer. This will extend their lifetime. Other sports gear for football may require a mixture of white vinegar and water to freshen up.

Before cleaning any sports gear for football, look for care instructions on our site or from the manufacturer. Using the wrong cleaning method may damage your gear.

 

How often should I replace my football gear?

Replace your football gear as follows:

Helmets: Replace at least every 10 years, sooner if they’ve undergone extra wear-and-tear. It’s a good idea to inspect them closely for damage; even the smallest crack could sacrifice the integrity of your football helmet and risk your safety.

Shoulder pads: Recondition your shoulder pads every year and replace them every 3 to 4 years.

Cleats: You’ll need to replace your cleats at different rates depending on how often you use them. Generally speaking, cleats can last anywhere from a few months to a year.
