PUMA's Fall/Winter collection for this year celebrates their close relationship with their hometown football club 1. FC Herzogenaurach. As well as marking the long standing relationship between the brand and the club, the collection also celebrates 1. FC Herzo's most famous son, Lothar Matthaus. The German legend, who is Germany's most capped player ever and a winner of both the World Cup and the Ballon D'Or, started his career at the Bavarian club when he was 10.
The collection's inspiration comes from 1. FC Herzo's roots, and the history of the club that has been linked with Puma for so long. The all over camo print comes from the geography of the town of Herzogenaurach, the surrounding district, the state of Bavaria and the outline of Germany itself. Also, the club's colour, Mazarine Blue, is an important part of the collection's colour palette whilst local legend Matthaus' football shirt is the inspiration for the range's basic tee.
Key pieces from the collection include a new, lightweight Savannah jacket that builds on the original T7 Savannah and comes with a hood you can pack away, a tech hood, and functional basic tees and shorts. As well as coming in the FC Herzo camo print, the collection is also available in black featuring branding from both the club and the brand.
