Kappa and Analog Football have created a jersey for a non-league team
US Rungis, an amateur team near Paris, will take the field wearing a unique jersey
March 27th, 2024
Kappa has shown great interest in non league football, creating specific kits for teams that can tell a story and identify a community, just as much as professional teams. The latest example of this meticulous work takes us to the outskirts of Paris, where the US Rungis plays, a non-league team located in the city famous for the world's largest food market. The perfect setting to capture the jersey, worn by the people who with their daily work give life and meaning to the city's community. Kappa has created two jerseys, one for outfield players and one for goalkeepers, with the same care and quality usually reserved for professional clubs. And to take the presentation photos, Analog Football, the leading agency for analogic football photographers, was activated. They involved Sabi Singh, Bastien Eveno, and Yvana Bolinois to take portraits in 35mm and medium format, as well as the launch video.
The photos were taken at night at the International Rungis Market, a key location for French agriculture and gastronomy, and most of the models photographed are players from the club's first team who work night shifts to train during the day. Just like the US Rungis stadium, Analog Football's headquarters is just a few meters from the market, creating a strong connection to this unique place, rich in history and visual identity. The design chosen by Kappa for the kit also reflects the identity of the location, with floral and produce patterns representing the International Rungis Market. The long-sleeved jersey, with its vibrant colors, can be worn in the cold and at night, becoming part of the attire of the Rungis merchants. It will be used by the US Rungis first team and is available in limited edition.
