Textile handball: Christmas gift ideas
From the sidelines to the stands, and through the Saturday journey, handball apparel is worn everywhere, making it an easy Christmas gift to get right.
Shirts, shorts, sweats, jackets, tracksuits, and socks, for the match, training, and everyday wear, in adult and junior sizes.
A fresh outfit for the second half of the season
By Christmas, the outfits bought at the start of the season have already been through multiple washes and training sessions. A new jersey, shorts, or sweatshirt arrives just in time, right before the matches resume. Jerseys make up by far the largest selection on the page, followed by shorts, sweatshirts, and jackets.
Jersey and shorts: the match duo
A handball jersey needs to dry quickly and allow for free arm movement during shots. The shorts, lightweight and a bit short, support movement without hindering running. When offered together, they form a complete training outfit. For a player whose club has a team line, a matching piece is always appreciated.
hmlLEAD, adi365, Adizero: jackets and tracksuits
The jackets and tracksuits are essential for warming up, sitting on the bench, and travelling. The hmlLEAD training jacket from Hummel comes in several team colours. At adidas, the adi365 range includes women's jackets, and the Adizero offers lightweight waterproof jackets for outings in the rain.
The Blues in supporter style
The jerseys of the French team, designed by adidas, are included in the selection: home jersey, away jersey, women's version, and children's sizes, as well as t-shirts in the Blues' colours. You can also find items from clubs like Brest Bretagne Handball, PSG, Saint-Raphaël, or Dunkerque, and from German clubs like Flensburg or Magdeburg.
Socks, undershirts, and compression gear
Small textiles are often the most useful. Sports socks, such as the Blazer Pro from Hummel, are constantly being updated. Undershirts keep muscles warm during breaks, and shorts reduce chafing. Select offers compression shorts, including a version with protective padding for falls.

Craft and Macron, well-known in team textiles, do not have dedicated pages: use the brand filter to find them.
Fitted cut or loose fit: choosing the size
A match jersey is usually cut close to the body, while a sweatshirt or tracksuit can be a more relaxed fit. If you're not sure, opt for a loose piece rather than a fitted one. For a child, going a size up extends the lifespan of the garment, provided the sleeves don’t restrict movement.
Affordable textiles
The gift ideas under €50 are packed with jerseys and shorts. Throughout the year, the special textile offers and the textile clearance remain available, while the Black Friday textile comes before the holidays and the textile sales follow.
Frequently asked questions
What handball clothing should I give for Christmas?
A sweatshirt or tracksuit jacket, which are useful for every training session and allow for a relaxed fit. For a fan, the jersey of the French team or their club.
Where can I find an affordable handball tracksuit for Christmas?
Filter this page by category to keep only the jackets and tracksuit trousers. The special textile offers and the most budget-friendly page offer them at reduced prices.
How do I care for a match jersey?
Wash it inside out, at a low temperature and without fabric softener, which can clog the technical fibres. Avoid the tumble dryer, as it damages the prints and numbers.
What is the purpose of an undershirt in handball?
It keeps the muscles warm during breaks and while on the bench, and wicks away sweat. Many players wear it under their match jersey in winter.
Is a club jersey a good gift for a child?
Yes, especially one from the team they support. In children's sizes, the supporter version can be worn at matches and at school, and it allows a bit of room for growth.
