Most footballers have special socks that they wear on their feet for extra comfort and grip and then put the club socks over them, hence the footless socks.
Footballers nowadays wear things called grip socks, which are usually slightly padded, breathable socks with lots of rubber bumps on them to help them grip onto their boots. It means the foot doesn't slip around inside the boot and they have better traction, meaning less injuries. Before, they would cut the end of the kit socks and tape the bottom around their ankles, but as most players are doing this now, instead of seeing mass sock mutilation across elite football, clubs and kit manufacturers now make footless socks (also known as leg warmers) to make the process simpler
No idea, probably because there's a multitude of these grip sock manufacturers now and you'd probably have a load of footballers still cutting up the socks as they prefer something else
Really like both home kit and goalkeeper kit. However, how likely is the keeping going to be wearing the black? Referees are in black most of the time so the keeper will be wearing whatever the away or third choice is. Nice shirt but not sure why they signed off on it.

Happened a couple of seasons ago too if I recall, the 2 main keeper kits shown when we first launched them were orange and pink. Then someone realised they clashed with the red home kit too much so we wore the green "third" keeper kit all year, and then also realised at away games, chances are we are wearing red or the opposition are, so again we couldn't wear the pink or orange kit!
No kit can clash with the referee. There has to be a very clear distinction.
I like the kit but the likelihood is, we won’t see the black keeper shirt in action as much as the others. It’s different to a normal outfield kit, keepers change theirs far more regularly.
What you’ll probably find is the away kit of the keeper will have to have RSK on it at times and University of Greenwich when we are in our away kit.

Refs in the EFL are issued 4 different shirt colours so they don’t clash with team kits, just have to get used to refs in blue or bright yellow
Any idea why the keeper kit has completely disappeared from the online store? Is it still available in store. Was considering getting it for the Spain trip.

Saw someone on twitter yesterday having got both the home shirt and black keeper shirt.

Hopefully in store then! When they make them tight fit nowadays I'd rather black
So this shouldn't happen, but also, don't wash your football shirts on hot. It's a cold wash, whatever that means in Celsius.
30 is considered a cold wash.
Wait, really? 86F is considered cold? I feel like here it's like 65F/15C.
Update: Did some research, a "Cold" wash in the States is between 60F-80F, which seems like a pretty broad range. So yeah, 30 would be at the top end of that, but not outside of it completely.
I retract my previous statement, but also, still recommend washing football shirts (as well as other graphic shirts or shirts with prominent logos) on the coldest possible setting. Maybe do a medium spin instead of the highest possible spin. You'll thank me in 3-4 washes when the logo, not the badge, starts to fall off.
Also, for the record, Castore has put out some poor quality items, like I'm not on their side in this.

Thanks, but all this information is surplus to requirements. My staff deal with all such matters, and I dont care what method is employed to achieve it, they could beat it with rocks in my lake as far as I am concerned. My only stipulation is that my Balmer 1 shirt is returned to me in pristine condition with no eggy down the front.
