High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In association football, as in a number of sports, kit refers to the standard equipment and attire worn by players. The term "kit" should be distinguished from a "strip" (in North-American English a "uniform"), which refers to just the shirt, shorts and socks, although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. The sport`s Laws of the Game specify the minimum kit which a player must use, and also prohibit the use of anything that is dangerous to either the player or another participant. Individual competitions may stipulate further restrictions, such as regulating the size of logos displayed on shirts and stating, that in the event of a match between teams with identical or similar colours, the away team must change to different coloured attire.
