Furthermore, competition rules may stipulate further restrictions, such as regulating colours or requiring numbers on shirts.
Required (basic) equipment
The Laws require all players to have to following separate items:
Shirt (or jersey);
Shorts;
Footwear;
Shin pads;
Stockings (or socks);
Goalkeepers must wear colours that are easily distinguishable from other players and the match officials.
Other equipment
Goalkeepers almost always wear gloves, though there is nothing preventing other players from doing so. Goalkeepers sometimes also wear caps to prevent glare from the sun or floodlights affecting their performance. Players with sight problems may wear glasses providing there is no risk of them falling off or breaking and thereby becoming dangerous (the most famous case of these special sports glasses in recent times is Edgar Davids). However jewellery, watches or other items that may be dangerous to any players are not allowed.
Match officials' kit
Traditionally, referees, assistant referees and fourth officials wear all-black kits. However, increasingly others colours are being used. Referees' jerseys have a pocket sewn in so yellow and red cards, and the referee's notebook can be carried.
