Football Uniform and Equipment Planning Guide

Football purchasing must coordinate apparel, protective equipment, roster sizes, safety requirements, reconditioning, and replacement inventory. Treat it as a year-round program, not a one-time order.

Uniform and apparel groups

• Home and away game jerseys

• Game pants and selected pad configuration

• Practice jerseys and pants

• Belts, socks, compression layers, and cold-weather gear

• Coach and sideline apparel

• Travel bags and fanwear

Protective equipment groups

• Helmets and approved accessories

• Shoulder pads by position and fit

• Hip, thigh, knee, and tail protection where applicable

• Mouthguards and required personal protection

• Practice shields, dummies, and field gear

• Replacement hardware and emergency spares

Use a documented fitting process

Protective equipment must be fitted and maintained according to current manufacturer and governing-body requirements. Use trained personnel and retain records.

• Record player, product, model, size, and serial information where applicable

• Inspect before issue and after return

• Track repairs and reconditioning

• Do not mix unapproved parts

• Quarantine damaged equipment

Order around the full calendar

• Postseason: inventory returns and missing items

• Winter: budget, reconditioning, and product selection

• Spring: roster estimates and fitting preparation

• Early summer: final orders and replacement inventory

• Preseason: issue, fit verification, and shortage resolution
