PUMA’s Sports marketing manager for national teams Simon Holthaus has divulged to footballghana.com that the Black Stars test kit designed with evoKnit technology will enhance the performance of the players during play.
“We have been developing this new technology for the past two years and now is the time to put it on the market for professional level through the black stars.” “It consists of two different yarns that work together. They create moisture management, one yarn pulls the sweat from the body and the other pushes it out to the environment to cool the body for hot environment. If it cools your body, it enhances your performance on the field” Simon said.
The German kits manufacturing giants used the Black Stars as the first African country to try out the technology with the remaining two African countries Cameroon and Ivory Coast trying it out later.
Over the past decades, PUMA has dedicated its finest and boldest designs in football to its African federations. These Ghana, Cameroon and Ivory Coast first ever seamless shirts on the market reinforce power, regulate temperature, and allow for freedom of movement. They enable our African teams to play at their loudest volume.
The new collection/design will be revealed in September with an improved version of the current technology.
