Long sleeve football kits have started to gain traction among players, with some of the biggest names in the game sporting them on the pitch.

Long-Sleeve Football Kits in Japan
In the Japanese J League, footballers from Vissel Kobe and Avispa Fukuoka have also been spotted wearing long-sleeve shirts.
What is particularly great about the Japanese long-sleeve is that the designs of the shirts are often continued on the long sleeves, creating one-of-a-kind looks.
Similar to European clubs, some big Japanese teams (Vissel Kobe & FC Tokyo) also sell the long-sleeve versions of their kits, but there are not many.
