The protective equipment on the soccer tennis court ("football equipment") consists of equipment worn by soccer players for body protection during a soccer game. Basic equipment worn by most football players including helmets, shoulder pads, gloves, shoes, and thighs and knee pads, mouth protector, and sports shirts or compression shorts with or without a protective cup. Roll neck, elbow pads, hip pads, caudal bearing pads, rib cushions, and other equipment can be worn alongside the basics. Football protective equipment made of synthetic materials: foam rubber, elastic, and durable, shock-resistant, molded plastic. Football protective equipment has remained consistently used for decades with several minor modifications made over the years in design and materials. The assignment and maintenance of football equipment belongs to the team's equipment manager.

Helm
Professional soccer helmets consist of several different parts: sheep, jaw and abdominal bladder pads, face masks, chin straps, and mouth protector. Shell is made of hard plastic with a thick layer on the inside, a face mask made of one or more metal rods, and chinstrap used to secure the helmet. Helmets are a requirement at all levels of organized soccer, except for variations that can not be handled like a flag football. Although they are protective, players can and still suffer from head injuries like concussions. Football Helmets are team logos and team colors.
There are several styles of face masks and chin straps available. The selection is left to the player, with quarterbacks generally choosing more open masks with maximum visibility. Each position has a different face mask type to balance protection and visibility. There are at least 15 different facemask styles. The new designs for the helmets include an integrated faceguard featuring shock absorbing "Energy Wedges" which reduces the impact force to the faceguard.
The latest addition to football helmets is eye protection or eye protection, traditionally used to protect players from eye injury or glare. Former Chicago Bears midfielder, Jim McMahon is the first to wear a visor/shield. Starting from clear or smoked visors, but now comes in colors ranging from blue, gold, black, rainbow, silver, or amber. Visor/shield is used at the player's discretion.
The process of mounting a helmet begins with measuring the player's head with a caliper. Based on the measurements made, a helmet shell of the appropriate size and style is selected. Then, padding is added to ensure that the helmet matches the player's head. Padding consists of both foam rubber pads and inflatable pads (air). The top and side padding includes an inflatable bladder adjusting fit. Once the helmet is mounted on the player's head, the inflater ball is applied to two points on the outside of the helmet. Jaw pads are installed to ensure that the bottom of the helmet fits the player's face. The helmet used by most NFL teams is very light, and once the pads are mounted, there is no movement or shift in the player's head.
Radio
The NFL enabled dummy communications in regular season games in 1994. Instead of the coach calling out time-outs to give the game to the quarterback, many teams now select the radio inside their quarterback helmets. Helmet mounted with small speakers in each ear hole. The quarterback trainer or the offensive coordinator on the sidelines talks to the quarterback with the radio, giving him special games and options. Players from "old school" may argue that this creates an unfair advantage, but supporters say that radio helmets make clear coach-to-player communication, even in big, noisy games like the Super Bowl.
The NFL rules state that all helmets with headsets in them should have a green dot visible on the back. Since only the quarterback can have a wired helmet, he stops other players using quarterback helmets. Several times in 2006 the task holder in the field was asked to pull and throw or run at the last second due to changes seen by the coach in the field. This gives the team "an unfair advantage" in the eyes of the NFL. The new rules allow each team to know who is wearing a headset and who is listening to the drama being called.
According to a press interview held with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the sound quality is good, but there are many noise factors. "It's like what you'll hear through loudspeakers," said Bucs QB Shaun King. "It's hard to hear when there's a lot of noise outside, but it's really cool."

Shoulder pad
The shoulder pad consists of a hard plastic outer shell with shock absorbing foam pads underneath. The cushion fits over the shoulders and chest area and ribs, and is secured by various snaps and buckles. Shoulder pads give football players their distinctive "broad shoulder" appearance, and are mounted on an adult player by measuring the back of the player from the shoulder to striking with a soft cloth tape measure and then adding 1/2 inch. For convenience, shoulder pads are sometimes worn along with bearings of foam rubber shoulder over half of cotton.
The shoulder pads achieve two things for soccer players: (1) they absorb some impact shocks through deformation. Bearings on the shoulders are strung together in tight webbing and impact damage, and (2) they distribute shocks through larger pads designed to regulate the player's body temperature during play and practice and protect against injury.
Jockstrap, or athletic supporter
A typical sports loinc used in football is built from a wide elastic waist with a supportive/elastic cotton bag to contain the genitals. Two wide elastic straps attached to the base of the bag and to the left and right sides of the waist at the hip complement the athlete. The bag, in some varieties, may be equipped with a bag to hold the impact-resistant cup (protective cup) to protect the testes and penis from injury. Many young soccer players, such as the Pop Warner leagues, are often asked to wear protective chairs. However, they are now not often used in high school, college, and peewee levels, although it is still highly recommended. The jockstrap is one of the tools used in football that precedes the sport itself. In 1874, Charles Bennett of the Chicago sporting goods company, Sharp & amp; Smith, created a "rope bike jockey" for cyclists (or, jockey bikes as they were later known). Other athletes adopt a jockey rope in their sport. A mass marketing in 1902 claimed the garment, now called "small entertainer" was "medically installed" for all men involved in sports or dangerous activities.
Jersey and pants
The main purpose of these two outfits is to identify the player by name and number, and with the color of his team.
T-shirt. The front and back of the shirt are usually nylon, with the spandex side panel to keep it tight. The goal is to make it difficult for opposing players to hold the jersey and use it for leverage. To help with this process: Jersey has an extension at the bottom that wraps from front to back to keep the T-shirt tucked in. Jersey has a wide Velcro strip on the back that fits Velcro inside the waistband of the pants. Many players apply two-sided carpet ribbons to their shoulder pads so socks stick to the pads. The players individually choose these features (if any) they will use. Every professional football player is usually equipped with a set of training uniforms as well as four jerseys of the game. The player will replace the shirt at half time if it rains. T-shirts usually have various patches affixed to the shoulders or other parts of the garment. Patches may depict American flags, team logos, or other important information.
Pants. Pants are produced in nylon and mesh (for hot weather exercises), and nylon and spandex for tight suit (with team colors) for the game. Most of the pants are made with traditional lace flies because the zipper fly is impractical and easily damaged due to stress on rough and tumbling games. The inside of the pant legs contains four individual pockets to hold two thighs (one for each leg) and two knee pads. The pads are placed in the bag before the pants are placed in the dressing room. Pants secured with a belt, sometimes with traditional metal buckles or with multiple rings. The shirts and pants that the game uses are sports collections, with celebrity athletes realizing high numbers.
Footwear
Similar to soccer cleats, gridiron football shoewear has soles made up of spikes called "cleats" deliberately designed for games on the grass. Some cleats have removable cleats that can be screwed into a specific hole. Cleat size changes, depending on field conditions (longer cleats provide better traction in the wet field, short cleats provide greater speed in the dry plane). Flat shoes, called "lawn shoes," are worn on synthetic grass (especially AstroTurf due to the lack of soil that causes friction and grip in the artificial field.

Hips, tail, thighs and knee pads
The date of the hip pads is layered into the 1890s and is one of the earliest pieces of known protective football equipment. Today, the hips and spine pads are made of plastic and protect the hip, pelvis, and the coccyx or tailbone. The pads are inserted into the corset pouch worn under the football pants. Thighs and knee pads are made of plastic and inserted into pockets built inside football pants.
Nose guard
In the days before the helmet, players often wore a protective nose or "nose mask" or "nose armor". Football is a brutal sport before the introduction of helmets and other protective equipment. Serious injury and even death are common events in the game. Harvard All-American Center, John Cranston, was the first player to wear equipment to protect his face during an American soccer game. To protect the "weak nose" Cranston, Harvard captain and 1889 All-American Arthur Cumnock invented a device he called "nose armor". Cumnock's invention gained popularity, and in 1892, a newspaper article described the growing popularity of devices:
"With the invention of the nose armor swordsmen who have until now been banned from the field because the damaged or weak noses are now able to push the protected (though damaged) armor nose to the center of the worst without danger to sensitive nose organs.The armor is made of fine rubber and protect the nose and teeth. "
Percy Langdon Wendell later found the most commonly used version of nose mask.
Gloves
Many recipients wear gloves that have sticky rubber soles, called wise gloves. Sprays on sticky substances (such as Stick 'em) have been illegal since the 1980s. Linemen also wear gloves, because they use their hands against the opposing linemen. The gloves worn by the linemen are usually coated with thick pads to better protect the fingers and hands, which are sometimes caught in an opponent's face mask or stepped on. Players are not allowed to wear gel or "stick" on their gloves.
Equipment management
The role of a equipment manager has become an important thing for the football team. The equipment manager has two main areas of responsibility: first, tailor each player on the team with a customized set of equipment that will provide maximum protection against injury, and, secondly, be in charge of logistics handling many basic everyday tools - keep them repaired and available, and move equipment for road games.
