Manchester United have worn red shirts white shorts and black socks since 1928. There is a myth that the black socks were a tribute to the Munich disaster in 1958 but it's not true.

The kit is sometimes changed to avoid clashing with the opposing teams colours. The basic rule is that the home team plays in it's preferred kit and the away team changes anything that might make decisions for the officials difficult, sometimes that may be the shirts, the shorts, or just the socks.

Most teams nowadays have at least two 'away' kits that are designed to avoid clashes with other teams colours. The match officials have the final say in what each team can wear.

What does a soccer uniform look like?

A typical soccer uniform consists of the 5 S's: Shirt, Shorts, Socks, Shinguards (beneath the socks), and Shoes. These are the most basic of guidelines, but virtually any outfit which fulfills these requirements is a legal uniform. Most of the time, the jerseys are numbered, as well. The goalkeeper will have a different uniform than the rest of his team.
