Textile handball Hummel
A bumblebee for name, a chevron for signature: the handball textile Hummel stands out from afar on a court, and the brand has built it around team sports.
Match shirts and shorts, training jackets, everyday items, women's outfits: the page covers the player, the female player, and the entire club, in adult and junior sizes.
Hummel, from the bumblebee of Hamburg to handball
Hummel was born in Hamburg in the 1920s and later moved to Aarhus, Denmark. Its name means bumblebee in German, and the chevron has become its signature. The brand has made handball one of its main focuses and supplies the International Handball Federation (IHF). You can also find items in the colours of German clubs on the page.
hmlAUTHENTIC and hmlLEAD, the team lines of Hummel
hmlAUTHENTIC is the most extensive line on the page: jerseys, shorts, and team items, designed to outfit an entire club. hmlLEAD closely follows, featuring training jackets in black, navy, blue, or red. A club can combine the two, using one for matches and the other for training and the bench.
hmlCORE, hmlGO, Move: other ranges from Hummel
hmlCORE and hmlCORE XK complement the team offer, while hmlGO, Move, or Tech Move broaden the selection. The Blaze line notably adds low training socks. Look for the name of the range on each product sheet: it’s what enables you to complete an outfit identically.
Hummel women: sports bras, leggings, and dedicated cuts
The women's textile section is significant on the page. Hummel offers jerseys and shorts in a women's cut, as well as sports bras, leggings, and cycling shorts. A female player can fully equip herself with the brand, from sports underwear to tracksuits.
Tracksuits, sweatshirts, and T-shirts from Hummel for the week
Sweatshirts, T-shirts, jackets, and tracksuit bottoms make up a large part of the page. They dress the warm-up, the journey, and club life. Zip-up jackets can be removed with one motion before entering the game, while hoodies are used after matches.
Kempa, adidas, Mizuno: other brands to compare
For comparison, the textile Kempa is also almost entirely focused on handball, the textile adidas outfits the French national team, and the textile Mizuno is a partner of LNH. All brands are gathered on the handball textile brands page. For low prices on Hummel, check out the sales by brand page.
Frequently asked questions
What does the prefix hml mean in Hummel ranges?
It stands for Hummel, placed before the name of each range: hmlAUTHENTIC, hmlLEAD, hmlCORE. It helps you find a specific line in the catalogue. To restock an outfit, note the full name with the colour.
How do Hummel jerseys fit?
Refer to the size guide on the product sheet, measured around the chest. The women’s cuts have their own guidelines. If you’re unsure between two sizes, the one closer to the body limits the handling in handball.
Which Hummel range to dress a club?
hmlAUTHENTIC is the most complete for matches, with jerseys and shorts in many colours. Complete it with a training jacket in the same palette. Make sure the range exists in all sizes for the team, including juniors.
Does Hummel make sports bras?
Yes, the page offers them, along with leggings and cycling shorts for women. They are worn under the jersey for training as well as during matches. In matches, what shows under the jersey should match the dominant colour.
How to care for a Hummel jersey?
Wash it inside out, at a low temperature and without fabric softener. Avoid tumble drying, which damages the numbers and prints. Hang it to dry on a hanger to maintain its shape.
