Hummel x Brøndby: Kim Vilfort Special Edition jersey
The Danish brand released a jersey to celebrate a legend of Danish football
November 15th, 2017
The name Kim Vilfort could sound familiar just to the over 35, but the guy is a legend for Danish football, that now is raising up again and will participate in the World Cup. Vilfort spent twelve years playing for Brøndby and won the Danish League for seven times between 1986 and 1998. He was as well protagonist in the greatest Euro tournament ever the 1992 legendary victory over Denmark over Germany. Hummel joined forces with the club to honor the former player with a stunning retrò inspired shirt.
This kitted tribute is a reworked retro number that aims to look forward to taking inspiration from the past. In the words of Hummel, "It must be retro. But not a 1:1 copy of the old jerseys. There must be nostalgia, but also the discovery of something new. The cut must be modern." Meeting that brief with resounding success, the design clearly references archive style though it sits in a modern place.
