Tottenham announce formal wear partnership with Kiton New Textures
July 27, 2023
The two-year partnership will see the First Team squad and coaching staff wear outfits designed and tailored by KNT (Kiton New Textures) – the urbanwear line created in Italy in 2018 by twins Mariano and Walter De Matteis – at selected matches during the coming season.
Mariano and Walter De Matteis’ passion for football has played an important role in bringing the two brands together, with London and its vibrant creative scene an inspiration for their designs.
Kiton’s iconic, premium fabrics come in shades of blue with touches of white, in line with the Club’s colours while also inspired by the sea off the coast of Naples.
Outfits include a single-breasted mélange suit, entirely cut and sewn by hand, which will be worn over a white cotton and linen crew-neck pullover and a cotton jersey polo shirt.
A second look is comprised of a blue ensemble, made from Kiton’s exclusive 14-micron wool, with a snap button shirt jacket and jogger pants, worn over a fine cotton t-shirt. The outfit consists of a zip-up hooded jacket made of compact nylon with a water-repellent, breathable and windproof membrane, a zip-up viscose sweatshirt, a short-sleeved crew-neck t-shirt and cotton jersey cargo trousers with pleated waist.
Accompanying footwear evokes street culture and conveys an informal yet elegant look, in black with a white embossed logo or vice versa.
Antonio De Matteis, Kiton CEO, said: “The Tottenham Hotspur family is very similar to ours, so we immediately matched in terms of values. In addition, KNT embodies the agonistic, dynamic and outstanding spirit of the Premier League, which is one of the most watched in the world. For a company like Kiton, being part of London’s international scene through a partnership with a historic club like Spurs is the best way to make a debut in the sports industry.”
Ryan Norys, Tottenham Hotspur Commercial Sales Director, said: “In Kiton we are proud to have a formalwear partner that will provide our players and coaching staff with exceptional design and tailoring, that will exude professionalism and maximise comfort as they arrive for matches – a crucial stage in the preparation for the 90 minutes ahead.”
