The anniversary of the invention that revolutionized soccerwear will be celebrated with a cultural study held at Torinoās BasicVillage. For the occasion KappaĀ® has created three special jerseys for AS Monaco, Betis Siviglia and Aston Villa
Torino, 13 February 2020. The Kappa® Kombat⢠is 20 years old and will be celebrating its anniversary with a cultural study dedicated to the jersey that revolutionized the very concept of clothing for professional soccer.
The Kombat⢠was created in 2000 by KappaĀ®ās R&D Centre and worn by the Italian national team at the European Cup: its creation marked a glamorous return for KappaĀ® to the world of technical sports apparel. Created to enhance a playerās performance the Kombat⢠was the first soccer jersey in the world with the āstop stoppingā grab-proof system that can highlight fouls for the referee and at the same time provide athletes with more freedom of movement, thanks to the fabricās stretch technology, which makes it completely nonreactive for the first 30 centimetres of stretch.
Twenty years later at Torinoās BasicVillage in the BasicNet Groupās headquarters, a cultural study will be opening on 13 February illustrating the creation and evolution of the KappaĀ® Kombat⢠with original jerseys, photographs and videos.
For this historical occasion KappaĀ®ās R&D Centre has produced a special jersey drawing inspiration from the famous design of the first Kombat⢠2000 for three important European FCs sponsored by the Omini brand: AS Monaco (France), Betis Siviglia (Spain) and Aston Villa (UK).
Two of these three special jerseys have been directly presented on the pitch, AS Monacoās on February 4th during the its home match against Angers, and Betis Sivigliaās on February 9th during a home match against FC Barcelona.
