Sweatshirts from the brand Puma

Puma, the brand founded by Rudolf Dassler

Puma was born in 1948 in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, when Rudolf Dassler parted ways with his brother Adolf to start his own company; the small town has since been home to the headquarters of two rival brands. The leaping feline has become the emblem of its clothing, embroidered or printed on the chest. In rugby, Puma was the kit supplier for Ireland from 2009 to 2014, before withdrawing from its commitments in European rugby. Its sweats carry this sporting heritage in a more urban style, balancing the comfort of fleece with retro references.

Hooded, zipped or round neck Puma sweat: which model for which moment

The hooded sweat Puma, with its kangaroo pocket, is the ideal piece for days in the stands: the hood protects from the wind and the pocket keeps your hands warm during halftime. The neater round neck is suitable for everyday wear and displays the logo prominently on the chest. The zipped sweat opens and closes according to the temperature, convenient for a coach transitioning from leading a session to the sidelines. Retro-inspired models, with contrasting bands on the sleeves, evoke the sporty style of the seventies.

The fit of Puma sweats and their care

Puma has a standard fit for its classic sweats: just go for your usual size. The so-called regular cuts allow ease around the bust, while some more fitted models, inspired by training gear, are tighter around the arms; you should check the bust measurement in the guide. A sweat intended for layering requires a size up. To keep the printed logo sharp, wash the sweat inside out at 30 degrees, without fabric softener, and never iron directly on the feline: the heat can crack the prints. Flat drying finally prevents the fit from stretching.

Frequently Asked Questions

What connection is there between the Puma brand and the Pumas of Argentina?

None: the Pumas is the nickname of the Argentine team, given in 1965 by a South African journalist who mistook the jaguar on their badge for a puma. The similarity of the names simply explains the cross-research.

What does the Formstrip of Puma mean?

It's the curved stripe that adorns the sides of the brand's shoes since the late 1950s, designed originally to better support the foot. It has become a graphic motif found on the sleeves or chest of some sweats.

Is a Puma sweat suitable for warming up?

A cotton fleece model retains warmth well before exercise but becomes heavy as it absorbs sweat. For warming up, it's better to opt for a technical sweat in polyester, which is lighter, and keep the fleece for the stands and post-match.

How to choose a Puma sweat for a teenager?

Rely on the size in centimeters rather than the indicated age, as teenagers grow quickly and unevenly. A slightly loose sweat will fit for longer, provided the sleeves aren't too long on the wrists.

How can you prevent the hood of a sweat from deforming?

Avoid hanging the sweat by the hood, as this pulls on the seams of the collar. When drying, lay it flat while smoothing out the hood, and tie the cord before washing so it doesn't slip out of its channel.
