Eigil Nielsen, the goalkeeper of the Danish national football team, founded Select just after the war; the brand made a name for itself with its balls, and its handball socks follow the same line: simple and made for the club.
Basic in pairs or in packs, Sports Striped striped, long models: the page covers both match and training, especially in adult sizes.
The Basic opens the page. It pairs a background colour with a highlight: navy and white, white and blue royal, white and red, black and white, white and purple, white and black, black and orange, navy and pink, black and pink. With such a palette, most clubs find their colours, and the team looks consistent from the first to the last line of the match sheet.
Select sells its Basic individually, but also in packs of three and ten pairs. The ten-pack is designed for a team: one order, one colour, and the manager distributes. The three-pack covers a player's week. It's the easiest way to keep the whole group in the same colour.
The Sports Striped, striped, comes in black or white, in classic or high version. Select also offers a long plain sock in black or white. These models are suitable for clubs that want a taller sock or for players who prefer to cover their calves.
Select was born in Denmark just after the war, initiated by Eigil Nielsen. The brand started as a specialist in balls, but it also provides textiles and equipment for clubs. Its handball socks inherit the spirit: a team product, without frills.
The Select socks are sized by shoe size, especially for adults. Get your exact size to avoid bunching. To keep them for a long time, wash them inside out and at a moderate temperature, and let them air dry.
For other club packs, check out the socks Mizuno and their Team ranges. The socks Hummel sell their Basics in packs of three, and the socks Kempa offer a Team Classic in a pack. All brands are on the handball socks page, and deals are on the special textile offers page.
The ten-pair pack dresses a good part of a handball squad in the same colour. To fully equip a group, add a three-pack or a second pack in the same shade. The three-pack is more suited for a player needing spare pairs.
Yes, most models on the page are unisex. Only the shoe size matters, for both a female and a male player. The size guide on the product page provides the correspondence.
A plain sock matches all jerseys and is easy to restock. The striped one makes a style statement, but requires the whole team to wear exactly the same model. If your club frequently changes jerseys, the plain option remains a safe bet.
Note each person's shoe size before ordering, then group by size range. Mark each pair with a textile marker on the back to avoid exchanges in the locker room. Keep one or two spare pairs for forgetful players.
Select offers a textile range in addition to its balls. For a club already equipped with Select, matching socks complete the kit without looking elsewhere. However, there’s no obligation to stick with the ball brand.
