Why Does The Goalkeeper Wear A Jersey Different From Their Teammate? by Tyenergie: 9:09pm On Mar 28, 2021 |
Given the fact that I'm not an ardent fan of any sport, but it amazes me to see goalkeepers in a different jersey from their teammates. I asked myself this question and some thoughts began to run through my mind, but I don't know how genuine they are: Thought No 1. Could it be for easy identification? Counter thought: with hand gloves and position, one should easily spot and differentiate goalkeepers from the remaining players. Thought No 2: could there be a regulation for such a move? Counter thought: Though it is widely accepted and no country/club has ever defaulted from this regular practice. Then again, if the color of a team can not be suggested by any sport regulatory body, why would they dish out such rule and make it oblivion of public. Thought No 3: could it be for protection? Owing to the nature of their jersey fabrication. I've come to seek opinions on this topic from sports enthusiasts and lovers.

Mostly for visibility and identification of the goalkeeper by the referee where players are bunched up for free kicks or corner kicks in the 18yard box. Only goal keepers are allowed to touch ball in that area and also needs maximum attention and protection. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Amotolongbo: Hand gloves should suffice in identifying goalkeepers. My opinion. With a goalkeeper's jersey alone, nobody can accurately suggest which country /club such jersey represents. |

Tyenergie:Hand gloves alone can’t help in the identification of the goalkeeper. Hence the need for a bright and different jersey from his teammates and opponents. On the norms, you can only have a goalkeeper in the 18yard box(apart from the rare occasions where you have the opponent goalkeeper coming to attack for a corner kick towards the last minute of the match). Moreover, the goalkeeper coming to the penalty area of his/her opponents doesn’t receive the leverage treatment and protection of a goalkeeper again in the opponents 18yard. So a goalkeeper needs special outfit which is bright and different from other players on the pitch 4 Likes |

Simple. Because it's foot ball and they're the only players allowed to use hands. They're different and it should be obvious. 2 Likes |

Amotolongbo: Not all goal Keepers put on bright coloured jerseys. There are many that wear complete black. |

Tyenergie:One and three. Only gk flies with his hands hence the need for different outfit. Also, It helps the ref to identify any culprit that handled the ball in the air in the box apart from the gk |

Jazzman01:and there is no black color that is bright and easily captures the attention? |

[s] Amotolongbo:[/s] What nonsense are you saying? how can something be black and still be bright? Did you attend physics class at all I don't think you are a science student. Probably one art or commercial riff raff. Even art and commercial students know the characteristics of every colour. |
