In the sixteenth century, pious men who believed that they had sinned would sometimes wear a hair shirt as penance, as the garment was deliberately uncomfortable. The women's equivalent of a shirt is often called a blouse. The team uniforms of soccer teams are known as shirts, although they have no buttons and more resemble T-shirts.
