From Turin Knitwear to the Omini Logo: the Story of Kappa
It all starts in Turin in 1916, when Abramo Vitale founds a sock factory, which will become the Maglificio Calzificio Torinese. In the 1950s, the company puts a K on the packaging of its socks, a letter that gives birth to Kappa. The famous Omini logo, featuring two silhouettes sitting back to back, appears in 1969. The brand is now owned by the Italian group BasicNet and has made a name for itself in French rugby, notably dressing Stade Français and FC Grenoble.
The Other Brands
The big brands of Black Friday are also available:
All the major brands of Black Friday can be found on the top brands page.
Molise and Telese: Training Shirts for the Whole Team
The training shirts Molise and Telese are designed for team sessions: lightweight and breathable fabric, a cut that supports movements, and many colours to match a club's colours. Their availability from year to year allows new players to wear the same model as their teammates. Under the shirt, the Vurbat undershirt, fitted to the body, keeps warmth during winter training and during warm-ups on match nights.
Korpo Polo and Cafers T-Shirt: Travel Attire
The Korpo polo, made of cotton and featuring the Omini, is worn during team travels, post-match receptions or on a daily basis. The Cafers t-shirt, with a fitted cut, follows the same idea in a more casual version. These pieces are close-fitting, in the spirit of the tailored cuts that have made the brand famous; those who prefer a looser fit should take a size up after checking the Kappa size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you dress a club in its team colours with Kappa?
Yes, the training shirts come in various colours, allowing you to reflect a club's colours. The printing of the name, number or logo is then done by a printer.
Where does the name Kappa come from?
It comes from the letter K, placed on packaging for socks from the Turin knitwear. Kappa is the name of that letter, and it has become the name of the brand.
How do you wash a Kappa shirt?
Inside out, at thirty degrees, without fabric softener which would clog the technical fibres. Avoid tumble drying and ironing directly on the logo or printing to keep them intact.
Is a Kappa polo suitable for an entire team?
Yes, for travels or receptions, an identical polo gives a smart image of the group. You choose a colour close to the club's colours and gather the sizes before ordering.
What’s the difference between a training shirt and a match shirt?
The training shirt, simpler and without sponsors, is for sessions and can be worn out without regrets. The match shirt features the club’s crest, sponsors and the player's number.
