hummel ROOT: Football Heritage Reworked for the Street
Football style has always travelled beyond the pitch. Tracksuits become terrace staples. Training jackets turn into everyday uniforms. Details designed for teams eventually find a second life in music, fashion and street culture.
With ROOT, hummel goes directly back to that connection.
The ROOT collection takes inspiration from hummel’s extensive football archive and reinterprets classic team-sport silhouettes for a modern streetwear audience. The idea is simple: respect where the look came from, but make it relevant for how football culture is worn today. Learn everything about it here!
ROOT is where heritage meets now
ROOT is born from hummel’s archive, bringing football heritage into a new collection built around the game’s unmistakable visual identity.
Classic hummel tracksuits, teamwear silhouettes and signature chevrons provide the foundation. Instead of simply reproducing archive pieces, ROOT takes those familiar references and reshapes them for a collection that feels fresh while staying true to where it came from.
The result brings football apparel and streetwear together. Track-inspired designs, strong sportswear silhouettes and recognizable hummel details give the collection a clear football character, while the styling makes it easy to wear beyond the pitch.
Sports DNA. Street Attitude.
ROOT is football heritage with a new expression. Grounded in the archive, shaped by the culture around the game and made for life beyond matchday.
Classic football fits, reengineered
One of the strongest elements of the hummel ROOT collection is the way familiar football details have been refined rather than removed.
The collection includes features such as raglan sleeves, embroidered branding and knitted chevron tape, maintaining the visual language associated with hummel sportswear. Those details matter because retro football style works best when it still feels authentic.
A track jacket does not need to become unrecognizable to feel modern. ROOT instead updates the proportions, construction and styling around the original football identity.
ROOT does not move away from that history. It leans into it, making something both heritage and modern.
A colour palette built beyond matchday
ROOT also takes the collection outside traditional team colours.
The main range is presented in Black, Marine, Chocolate Brown, Cannoli Cream and Blanc De Blanc, giving the football-inspired silhouettes a more lifestyle-focused palette.
Black and Marine naturally connect with classic training wear, while Chocolate Brown and Cannoli Cream introduce softer, more fashion-led options. Together, they make the collection easier to style as everyday clothing rather than something that only feels connected to sport.
That balance is central to ROOT.
