American football is a contact sport. Your equipment is subjected to high stress. Football pants and shirts are specifically produced for American football or equivalent contact sports. Due to the force and nature of contact with opponents and the ground, the durability of the equipment is affected. For wear and tear items, damages can occur even within the legal warranty period (even on the first use), due to usage (e.g., if someone tackles you and tears your clothing, causing parts to rip or tear off). If you notice a defect in your clothing, it is not automatically covered by the legal warranty. Minor damages should be repaired immediately to prevent them from developing into major issues.
