Best Answer

For several reasons;

-For Officials, they are used to differentiate between teams especially when both players go hard into a tackle for a ball, the differing colors help the Referee decide who may be At Fault for an infraction.

-The other reason is they help with keeping your shinpads in place.

-They provide a small measure of protection when you have been kicked in the lower leg.
