The best gifts for a man who loves football and F1 are the ones he wears on match day or race day: his team's jersey, a retro one from the era he remembers, a cap or a jacket for the cold nights at the stadium. You get it right if you choose his team, not yours, and if you ask his size without spoiling the surprise.
In Colombia, «regalos para hombre» (gifts for men) is searched 14,800 times a month, and in December it reaches 33,100 (Google Keyword Planner, Colombia, last 12 months). Almost all of those searches end the same way: perfume, wallet, watch. If he lives with the match on, there is something he will actually wear.
What should I give a man who loves football?
The rule is simple: give him his team. A fan doesn't want «a football jersey»; he wants Nacional, Millonarios, Real Madrid or the national team. Before you buy, confirm three things:
- His team and the season. Look at what he wears in his photos or what he has hanging up. If he already has this season's, go for the away or third kit.
- His idol. With his favorite player's name and number, the jersey stops being just another one. We explain how in our guide to a personalized jersey as a gift.
- His era. If he is the kind who talks about the 1990 World Cup or the Nacional of the 2000s, a retro suits him better than a new one. They are all in our retro football jerseys.
If you have no clues, start with the best-selling jerseys: the ones most fans have already chosen.
What if he is also a Formula 1 fan?
More and more fans watch the match on Saturday and the race on Sunday. For that side, our allied brand Derrapa, a motorsport apparel brand, has a full guide of gifts for racing fans, with jerseys, polos and jackets from teams like Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes.
The way to join both worlds is a double gift: his football team's jersey and a cap from his F1 team. Derrapa has more than 50 Formula 1 caps, and a cap is the easiest gift to get right because it doesn't depend on size.
How much does a good football gift cost?
These are today's prices at Velocity Savage, taken from the store's catalog. Shipping is free from $90,000 COP.
| Gift | From | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Football cap | $55,000 | The one whose size you don't know |
| Retro jersey | $124,900 | The one who remembers every final |
| This season's jersey | $179,000 | The one who never misses a match |

Our jerseys are 1:1 quality: the highest grade on the market, three to five times cheaper than an original one. That is why you can give the jersey and the cap for what just one jersey would cost at a brand store.
How do I get his size right without him noticing?
Ask him what size he wears in a sportswear brand T-shirt or check the label of the one he wears most. With that, the size depends on the cut you order, and we have two:
- Player version: it fits close to the body, the way they wear it on the pitch. Order one or two sizes up. For example, if he wears M in casual clothes, order L or XL.
- Fan version: his usual size. That is the whole difference.
If in doubt, message us on WhatsApp with his approximate height and weight and we will tell you the size. And if it doesn't fit, you have 10 business days to exchange the size.
When should I order so it arrives by Christmas?
It depends on whether the item is in stock or imported. Each product page tells you before you pay:
- In stock: we ship anywhere in Colombia in 3 to 4 business days. Ordering in the second week of December gets there in time.
- Imported: delivery is usually between 20 and 25 calendar days. To have it by December 24, order it no later than November 29.
In Bogotá you can also pay cash on delivery.
Which football gift works for each kind of man?
- Your dad or your grandfather: the retro of the team from his youth. You give him a memory, not a garment.
- Your boyfriend or your husband: his team's jersey with his idol's name and number.
- Your brother or your friend: the jersey and a cap, football or from his F1 team.
- The one who has everything: the third kit or his team's jacket, which almost nobody buys for himself.
