An event rare as the World Cup, soccer is something that really only fertilizes in my brain every four years during the World Cup, or when I read an article about how dope Marc Callaghan looks in underwear. To speak of the days, where I am aware that the Euro 2016 soccer match had an unexpected surprise (Iceland just upset England! It's crazy!), the particulars of what's going on in my life aren't very important. But this is what I know: Football jerseys are fantastic. They might even be the best of any pro athlete uniform in terms of pure wearability. And summer — the time of year when nothing but a bold shirt is needed to make a statement — is the best time to wear one.

Here's what you should think before getting kitted-out first.

Don't be a Fake Soccer Fan

Call it Football. We can not emphasize this enough. If you're an American who really doesn't know much about the sport, call it by his American name. Sometimes refer to original soccer jerseys as such. Don't be the ignorant American who is leaning around in the words "football" and "kit" to please foreigners. It is going to be like when your father tries to say "on fleek."

Pick a Jersey That Looks Good on You

Here's the thing: there are a lot of really cheap soccer jerseys out there. The downside of not being a fan of any team is that you have no particular reason to wear an awful jersey just because it is the team that you support. Be like Drake, instead, and just pick the one you think looks great. (We are willing to bet that Drake isn't the biggest Juventus fan in the world.) Yeah, thanks to streetwear brands like Supreme and Palace, it doesn't even have to represent a real football team.

Buy the Replica Version

Authentic wholesale soccer jerseys tend to be extremely shape-fitting, which is ok if you're an eight-pack professional athlete. But even for those of us in shape, super tight tee-shirts just look strange with street clothes, particularly when they are like most jerseys in a polyester fabric. Choose the imitation version instead, which will look more like a normal T-shirt and less like Spanx. What's more, replicas are usually cheaper.

Kick It Old School

There are many new soccer jerseys which appear to feature corporate logos and high-tech fabrics. Hit eBay for a vintage jersey if those aren't for you, which will be less messy in design-wise and may even come in less techy but cosier cotton.
