Danish sports brand hummel announced a collaboration T-shirt to send a cheering message to Tomohiro Yamamoto, player for Osaka Bulteon, and his fans. This triple collaboration uses "MOON-TECH®," an advanced material developed by MOONRAKERS, a spin-off venture from Toray. Reservations are accepted until May 10th, with shipping scheduled for the end of June.
Sending an Inspiring Message to Fans
This collaboration is themed around Hygge (Danish for 'cozy and warm time') and Empowerment, aiming for a project where an athlete, who usually receives support, wants to send a message of encouragement to fans. Going beyond mere cheering goods, the goal was to create a piece that fosters a 'comfortable sense of unity' between fans and players, allowing them to feel revitalized together by wearing the athlete's message in their daily lives.
The message chosen by Tomohiro Yamamoto, a player for Osaka Bulteon, is characteristic of him, expressing his strong fighting spirit simply: "I want to concentrate on volleyball." The message includes "Kæmp videre." (Danish for 'Keep fighting, keep striving') subtly placed on the left chest along with 'Tomo's' signature. The design is minimal, with a bumblebee printed on the left sleeve.
Regarding the cheering message, Yamamoto explains, "As a libero, no matter how much we're at a disadvantage, I don't attack; I support the team from the back. Also, I want to continue playing for a long time, and I believe it's important to keep fighting every year, so these are words I tell myself." He sends words of self-encouragement and forward-looking determination to his fans.
The material used is "MOON-TECH®," an advanced material boasting "excessive functionality," led by advanced space technology (powerful deodorizing and anti-stain processing) developed to make life in extreme environments like space (International Space Station) more comfortable. It has a soft and smooth texture and offers 12 functions at a very high level, including deodorizing, sweat stain prevention, anti-transparency, and UV cut. Its quick-drying property means it dries almost immediately after dehydration during washing, making it convenient for expeditions and travel. It's a trending material that transforms daily life into the future with overwhelming performance.
The collaboration T-shirt comes in two colors: white and charcoal. Reservations begin on May 1st and are open for a limited time until May 10th at the hummel official online store, hummel EXPOCITY store, and hummel Lalaport Kadoma store. Additionally, those who order during the reservation period will receive an image for their smartphone wallpaper, allowing them to feel Yamamoto's energy from their daily-use smartphone.
