Soccer Team costume FAQ
- What do I need for a basic soccer player costume?
- You need a soccer jersey, athletic shorts, knee-high soccer socks, shin guards, athletic shoes or cleats, and a soccer ball.

Did you know? The classic black-and-white pentagon pattern of the soccer ball, known as the Buckminster design, was introduced in 1970 to make the ball easier to see on black-and-white television screens.
