Handball shirts in private sale

The Experts and the Blues: the jerseys of the France team

The French men's team in handball, nicknamed "the Experts," won their first world title in 1995 in Iceland, and then Olympic gold in Beijing in 2008, London in 2012, and Tokyo in 2021. The Blues have also made their mark: world champions for the first time in 2003, they also clinched Olympic gold in Tokyo. Their home, away, and third jerseys are available in men's and women's cuts: the women's version, more fitted, follows the players' body shape. A handball shirt is worn close to the body to avoid giving defenders a grip; for a supporter fit, you can take a size up.

PSG Handball and THW Kiel: two great European clubs

The PSG Handball is the successor of a club founded in 1941 in Asnières, which became Paris Handball before being bought in 2012 by Qatar Sports Investments and taking on the colours of Paris Saint-Germain. Since then, it has established itself as the benchmark in the French championship. The THW Kiel, founded in 1904 in northern Germany, is the most decorated club in the Bundesliga and won the Champions League in 2007, 2010, 2012, and 2020. Its white home jersey, worn in a venue known for its atmosphere, is a classic for European handball fans, just like that of the Parisian club.

Referee jerseys: the officials' outfit by FFHB

Handball referees officiate in pairs and must wear an outfit that is clearly distinct from both teams and the goalkeepers. They have several colours of jerseys and choose the one that avoids any confusion before the match. The FFHB referee jerseys from Hummel, like the referee jersey from Kempa, follow the official codes, with a fitted cut and breathable material suitable for the many movements involved in a game. A regular referee keeps at least two colours in their bag to handle all the colour combinations they will encounter over the weekends.

Volley-ball and training: jerseys Mizuno, Select and Kempa

In volley-ball, the jersey is worn fitted and lightweight, either sleeveless or with short sleeves, to allow full freedom for the arms during serves and attacks. The libero, a specialist in defence, wears a jersey that is a notably different colour from their teammates, as their entries and exits do not count as substitutions and the referee must identify them at a glance. The women's Mizuno Sohei jersey follows this body-hugging cut. For training in handball, the Hummel, Select, or Kempa jerseys, made of breathable polyester, can withstand frequent washing; the pink models from October Pink support breast cancer screening awareness.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the handball goalkeeper wear a different jersey?

The rules require the goalkeeper to wear a colour distinct from their teammates and opponents so that the referees can identify them in their area. They often also wear long trousers to protect their legs from the abrasion of the ground.

How to choose the size of a volley jersey?

The volley jersey should fit snugly without being tight on the shoulders to avoid restricting arm movement. You can refer to the brand's size guide for chest circumference; women's cuts are more fitted at the waist.

Can you print on a handball jersey?

Yes: handball jerseys have a number on the back and front, as required by competition rules, as well as a name or the club logo. The printing should be washed inside out at thirty degrees, without a tumble dryer.

Is a handball jersey suitable for volley?

For casual training, yes: both sports require a lightweight and breathable jersey. In competition, however, volley imposes regulatory numbering and a distinct jersey for the libero, which is why a dedicated outfit is beneficial.

How to maintain a polyester training jersey?

Wash it at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres and reduces sweat wicking. It dries in a few hours on a hanger, without using a tumble dryer.
