Traditionally, for protection soccer players have only worn i) shinguards, and ii) goalkeeper gloves (goalkeeper only).
However, design innovation has led to the creation of many new types of protective gear, including:
1) Sliding shorts - generally compression shorts worn both by field players and goalkeepers to protect from abrasions / cuts due to harsh grounds (e.g., dirt, turf). Goalkeepers can also wear long protective pants - the most advanced models are made of stretchable compression fabric
2) Soccer helmets - still quite rare, but similar to Rugby helmets. They protect from concussions, primarily due to head-to-head contrasts and goalkeepers hitting the goal (the risk of injury due to ball heading is actually quite minor)
3) Protective long-sleeve shirts (for goalkeepers only) - the most advanced models are made of stretchable, breathable compression fabric
4) Padded socks - an extremely innovative item, includes a layer of padding in areas not covered by a traditional shinguard. Can be coupled with compression fabric for higher performance.
5) Knee pads, elbow pads - very rarely used, other than by some goalkeepers. Usually children
Goalkeeper gloves and shinguards are widely available on stores and online. No single brand rises head and shoulder above competitors.
It is however curious to notice that no single brand has focused exclusively on protective gear for soccer players. Many brands offer some type of protective gear, but no brand has made its mission to develop a line exclusively for soccer. The only known brand is Storelli Sports, which created a line called Body Shield dedicated to the head-to-toe protection of soccer players. But its goods are not in commerce as of May 2010
