Do you know its size off by heart, or not at all? That’s the first question to ask yourself before diving into the Christmas textiles, which range from a well-fitting match shirt to a loose sweatshirt that you can gift without taking a risk.
Shirts, shorts, sweatshirts, jackets, tracksuits, and socks are available in men's, women's, and junior cuts, for the pitch, warming up, or everyday life.
The right clothing depends on what the person will do with it. For the pitch, a shirt, shorts or a breathable tank top. For warming up and the sidelines, a tracksuit jacket, a hoodie or jogging pants. For winter journeys, a waterproof jacket or a puffer coat. Shirts and shorts make up the bulk of the selection, followed by hoodies and jackets.
If you know their size, aim for a match piece: shirt or shorts, which players wear out quickly. If you’re unsure, a loose fit, hoodie, jacket or tracksuit allows for a half-size difference. Socks and under-shirts make easy last-minute gifts to slip in alongside.
For a fan of the French team, home, away and libero shirts from the selection open the page, in men's and women's cuts. They are made by Errea, supplier to FFVolley. Some club pieces, like the Chaumont Volley-Ball 52, complete the supporter’s offer.
The selection covers men’s, women’s and mixed cuts, and a large part is available in junior. The page Christmas for men keeps the men's and mixed cuts. Women players find their cuts on Christmas for women. For a child, Christmas for juniors gathers children’s and baby sizes.
Without a dedicated page, other suppliers are in the selection: Joma, Craft, Macron, Jako or Uhlsport. The brand filter makes them appear, handy if the person’s club already uses one of these brands and they want matching clothing.
To complete an outfit, Christmas shoes bring together indoor and sneakers, and Christmas balls include indoor and beach balls. The pieces for city wear are on lifestyle for Christmas. If you’re working with a budget, start with gift ideas under €50, rich in shirts, shorts and hoodies. The deals of the season are on Christmas special offers, and if time is tight, the page Christmas items shipped in 24h only includes articles that ship within 24 hours.
Shorts and a technical t-shirt that dries quickly, or a simple shirt: it’s often the outfit that’s missing for the first sessions. Add thick socks, more comfortable in indoor shoes.
The volleyball shirt is often closer to the body, with short sleeves or no sleeves, to not hinder movements overhead. The football shirt is generally looser. For training, both work just fine.
A matching tracksuit makes for a more striking gift, with colours that definitely go together. Two separate pieces allow for choosing a different size for the top and bottom, useful for someone between two sizes.
It’s a real joy for a player attached to their team, but check first: many clubs order their outfits from a specific supplier. For training or casual wear, the colours are flexible.
The Christmas special offers compile the discounts of the season, including textiles. The special textile offers remain open for the rest of the year, and the textile sales come after the holidays.
