Handball Puma textiles

The THW Kiel jersey, home and away

Puma outfits THW Kiel, and the home and away jerseys of the German club feature at the top of the page. The brand has already worked on these jerseys in jacquard, with mesh inserts: the product sheet specifies the material for each version. This is the piece to aim for if you follow German handball or if you want a club jersey that stands out in France.

teamGOAL, teamLIGA, teamRISE: three lines to kit out a team

These three names come up on most items. They are team collections, available in jerseys, shorts, socks, and jackets, Puma especially distinguishes them by fit: teamGOAL for fitted cuts, teamLIGA and teamRISE for classic cuts, the latter two with dryCELL fabric that wicks away moisture. A club can therefore choose the line based on its players' physiques, as long as they keep one colour for the whole group.

teamGOAL socks: one colour for each jersey

teamGOAL socks appear at the top of the page in red, black, green, blue, yellow, or white, in adult and child versions. In matches, IHF equipment regulations require all players on a team to wear socks of the same colour. A line available in many colours makes it easy to restock when a player joins the group during the year. For everyday life, Invisible socks hide in the shoe.

All Weather jackets and teamFINAL puffer jackets: the bench when it's cold

The teamLIGA All Weather jacket, in black or navy blue, protects from the rain between the car park and the hall, and is also available in child sizes. The teamFINAL puffer jacket and Additions Bench puffer jacket are for long waits: tournament stands, outdoor sideline, youth matches to follow in winter. The waterproof teamFINAL jacket completes the outfit for travel.

Sweatshirts, polos, and Puma trousers between sessions

Sweatshirts, polos, and tracksuit trousers complete the outfit. The polo dresses the coach and club officials, while the sweatshirt and trousers are worn during warm-ups and off the court. Pieces from the same line coordinate, helping a club maintain a common look from locker room to bus.

A fabric born on football pitches

Puma was born in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, when Rudolf Dassler created his own company after parting ways with his brother Adolf, the founder of adidas. Its team fabric mainly comes from football, which is evident in the cuts and colours. For handball, it works very well for training and as club wear. For match kits, compare with brands that originated in handball.

Juniors in the same colours as seniors

A good part of the selection is available in junior sizes, notably teamGOAL socks and the All Weather jacket. A club can thus dress the handball school and seniors in the same shades. For a growing child, aim for the size that corresponds to their current stature rather than two sizes up: an overly loose jersey can hinder shooting and give defenders an advantage.

Frequently asked questions

Is Puma textile suitable for handball?

Yes for training, warm-ups, and club kits: teamGOAL or teamLIGA jerseys and shorts are lightweight and breathable. They come from football, so check the fit on the product sheet if you’re looking for a very fitted match jersey. The THW Kiel jersey is a proper handball jersey.

How do Puma jerseys fit?

According to the brand's catalogues, teamGOAL has a more fitted cut than teamLIGA or teamRISE. If you’re unsure between two sizes on a fitted cut, go for the larger one. Always compare your measurements with the size chart on the product sheet.

Can you customise a Puma jersey for a club?

A polyester team jersey can be easily customised with a printer. Order all sizes at once to ensure the same shade from player to player. Also, include the number on the chest, which is required in matches like the one on the back.

What Puma sock should I get for a child?

The teamGOAL socks are available in child versions, in the same colours as the adult ones. Choose them based on the shoe size and in the colour of their team’s socks if they are used in matches.

Can you play a handball match in a Puma football jersey?

In training, no problem. In competition, the whole team wears the same jersey with a number at least 20 cm on the back and 10 cm on the chest, which excludes a plain football jersey that doesn’t meet these dimensions. For a club, it's better to order a complete team line.
