PARENT'S GUIDE • 2026/27 JUNIOR EQUIPMENT
For a young fan, the right gift starts with the right size and the right use.
Mini-kits, jersey and short sets, children's jerseys sold separately: the names sound similar, but they don't always refer to the same contents. When outfitting a child for football or preparing a gift, it is better to compare the product composition before choosing.
Using examples from the 2026/27 OM collection, here is how to distinguish between the formats and select a junior outfit that is practical, comfortable, and easy to wear.
MINI-KIT
A small-sized set; check the product page for contents.
SET
Multiple pieces sold together depending on the product.
JERSEY ONLY
A single piece to be freely paired with shorts.

What is a kids' football mini-kit?
A mini-kit is a small club outfit offered as a set. Depending on the reference, its precise composition may vary: you must check if the product includes a jersey, shorts, and possibly other elements. The commercial name does not replace the manufacturer's description.
For example, the 2026/27 Olympique de Marseille home kids' mini-kit (white/blue) is in the PlanetFoot catalog. Consult its page to confirm the size category and included pieces.
Jersey and short sets: for which occasions?
A jersey and short set is suitable for young fans who like to wear their club's full colors at home or on the pitch. PlanetFoot also stocks a blue OM kids' set for the season.
Please note: an outfit worn for training must remain adapted to the activity and the club's requirements. For frequent training sessions, a training top or technical shorts might sometimes be more appropriate than a set primarily designed for supporters.
Children's jersey sold alone: a flexible option
The jersey only offers more freedom to combine with shorts of a different color or brand. It can be practical when the child already has sports bottoms and mostly wants to represent their favorite team.
The choice depends on the budget and the child's preferences. An official jersey does not necessarily mean it is the version worn by professional players: the term "replica" generally refers to an authentic piece designed for supporters.
Which size to choose for a child?
The label "child," "junior," or "mini-kit" is not enough on its own. Compare the child's size and measurements to the brand's guide indicated for each item. Avoid choosing based solely on an estimated age on a tag.
If the child plays regularly, also check for comfort around the shoulders, waist, and thighs for shorts. An outfit that is too loose can hinder movement, while a piece that is too tight limits comfort.
PlanetFoot advice: choose wisely before giving
To give a set as a gift, start by confirming the preferred club, the size, and the exact contents of the pack. For a child very attached to a team, a coordinated mini-kit can be particularly special; for varied use, a single jersey will sometimes be easier to pair.
Explore available kids' outfits and jerseys as well as the junior football gift selection. Check return policies before any customization.
