There's A Reason Why Cristiano Ronaldo Never Wears A Short Sleeved Shirt

 

Cristiano Ronaldo has been donning long sleeved jersey in almost every match he plays and his thirst for long sleeve shirts seems unquenchable.

In Portugal's squad he is the only player who is allowed to start off with a long-sleeve jersey.

You never see him wearing short sleeves, do you?

However, Ronaldo’s obsessional preference for long sleeved jersey has triggered this question: Why is it that Ronaldo always wears long sleeved shirts/jerseys?

Designed by the major sport product manufacturers, jersey engineers and designers explain decisions behind long-sleeve focuses on the following areas;

  • The long sleeves keep players warm and ensures they stay dry and comfortable all match long
  • To stay warm in cold Weather
  • To help against turf burns when they dive
  • And also because long sleeves looks cool/perhaps swag
    turf burns

     

Ronaldo is not the only footballer who loves wearing long sleeve jersey, the likes of Antoine Griezmann, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, and the list goes on and on…..
