kit man

Team equipment manager

A kit man is the person responsible for managing a sports team's equipment and uniforms—washing jerseys, packing gear for away games, ensuring players have everything they need.

The role is most associated with football (soccer) in Britain: The kit man had the boots polished and laid out before training.

Despite being behind the scenes, kit men often become beloved figures at clubs.
