Lace up your athletic sneakers or soccer cleats.

For a post-crash survival look, use sandpaper to lightly scuff and fray the edges of the jersey and shorts.

Wear comfortable athletic sneakers if you plan to walk around or stand for long periods.
Layer a long-sleeve thermal shirt under the jersey if you are wearing this in cold weather.
