Hoffenheim to wear "Lotto Sport" from next season

Hoffenheim will play in “Lotto Sport” kits next season. The five-year contract will see all the teams at the club – from youth to the women's team to the men's Bundesliga side – wear the Italian sports equipment manufacturer. Alongside jerseys, both training and casual clothing are also included in the Hoffenheim collection.

The company, based in Trevignano, Treviso, works with a number of leading clubs across five continents on the international stage. They remain one of the leading sports manufacturers of the last decade. “Lotto Sport” has provided clothing for stars such as Ruud Gullit, Martina Navratilova and Boris Becker. They've also been the outfitter for prestigious clubs such as Juventus and AC Milan.

“Lotto Sport are a company that, since their founding over forty years ago, have set high standards in both their boots and their clothes. They stand for professionalism, individuality and creativity. We are delighted about this partnership, one that once again demonstrates that we are breaking the mould and taking a positive approach,” said Peter Rettig, chairman of Hoffenheim's business board.

The new contract with the new supplier naturally means the end of the partnership between TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and the French sports manufacturer ‘Puma', which has existed since 2008. “I'd like to verbalise my thanks once more for the reliability and trustworthy collaboration we've had with the Herzogenaurach-based company,” said Rettig.

Andrea Tomat, president of Lotto Sport, sees “this partnership as an exceptional opportunity to publically present our new products and their unique design. Hoffenheim are an ideal partner for Lotto Sport to raise their profile in the German market. The partnership between the two is perfect as both organisations share the core values of innovation, courage and authenticity.”
