Danish sportswear brand hummel (Hummel) has announced the uniforms that Osaka Bluteon will wear in the 2026-27 Daido Life SV.LEAGUE MEN. The uniforms express "the blue of the sky," embodying the infinite potential signified by the club name "Blue to Eon (Eternal Blue)."
A Design Symbolizing the Club and Fans with Infinite Potential
Osaka Bluteon won their first SV League championship in the 2025-26 season. The uniforms for Osaka Bluteon, aiming for consecutive titles, are themed "Showtime for the Top" and express "the blue of the sky," embodying the infinite potential signified by the club name "Blue to Eon (Eternal Blue)."
The sky appears blue because sunlight scatters when it hits particles in the air. The source that creates this blue (sunlight) is none other than the "blue flame" (cheers) of the fans and supporters who illuminate and empower the players. With the blue of the sky as the base color, a gradient of light blue and white is designed with a sash line from the left shoulder. This is intended to create a visual effect that makes the players shine brighter on the court, evoking the scene of them stepping into the spotlight before a match.
Seven stars, symbolizing the honor of winning the 2025-26 season, are placed on the left sleeve. Furthermore, the authentic uniforms will feature a "Champion Mark" above the hummel logo on the right chest, allowing the team to compete with the pride of defending champions.

About hummel
Hummel, a Danish sportswear brand, was founded in 1923 and developed the world's first football boots with studs. At a time when soccer was played in leather shoes, studs were added to the flat soles, dramatically improving grip and enabling plays that were previously impossible. This led to the adoption of the bumblebee (hummel in German), which is theoretically unable to fly due to its weight but achieves flight through persistent effort, as the brand name and logo, drawing a parallel to the brand's own journey. With over 100 years of history, the brand now pursues its unique brand story with the vision "CHANGE THE WORLD THROUGH SPORT," continuing to take on new challenges.
