An American football uniform is designed for both performance and protection.
It typically includes a jersey with the team’s colors, name, and player number.
Padded pants protect the thighs, hips, and knees during intense contact.
Players wear a helmet with a face mask to prevent head injuries.
Shoulder pads underneath the jersey absorb hits and collisions.
Cleats are worn for traction on grass or turf fields.
Gloves and other optional gear enhance grip and protect hands.
