Things have evolved through time. Until the late 1990s, kit man was responsible for cleaning, reconditioning, and laying out a clean kit for the next game. Players were fined for changing jerseys with another player. Nowadays, the kit man brings three jerseys per player to each game, one for each half, plus a spare in case of an emergency. The jerseys are only worn once since the club receives numerous requests from charities for jersey donations. Some players keep their jerseys, while others trade them with opponents or donate them to the club.
Every match, top-tier professional players often wear new jerseys. Many players change jerseys at halftime, thus each match features two different jerseys. The kit man usually has three jerseys for each player, one for each half, plus a spare. These same athletes do not wear new boots every match, owing to the fact that boots must be broken in. Many athletes will wear new boots in practice and then break them in before wearing them in games.
Furthermore, the top payers often wear boots supplied by a manufacturer that are custom-fitted to their feet. However, in an interview, John Terry stated that he wears three new pairs of boots for every match, one for warm-ups, one for the first half, and one for the second half.
"I wear one pair to warm up, one for the first half, and one for the second half." They were gone after that, and I never wore them again. I feel like you lose that little bit of touch when they get a little stretchy, a little huge, which is why I need new ones." Terry stated. When asked how long he had been performing this process, Terry responded, "Three years, and Nike is not happy." I give a lot of boots to make a wish for their foundation, so they can sell and auction them off. We have a lot of fans at the end of the season, so I will give them to fans and mascots during the season.
I provide a lot of boots to create a wish for their foundation, so they can sell and auction them off, we have a lot of fans at the conclusion of the season, I will give them to fans and mascots during the season, just something special to take home from the game."
That means John Terry wore 120 pairs for a single Premier League season, plus dozens upon dozens more for European League and national team matches.
