Hummel has remade its iconic 1992 goalkeeper jersey

Peter Schmeichel has been an icon of style, dressing the most incredible goalkeeping outfits seen in the Premier League but especially in the national team. Whether produced by Umbro - for the duration of his time at United - or by Hummel with the Danish national team or by Diadora during his time at Aston Villa, the way the dad of the promising Kasper wore design masterpieces was unique. In a career that lasted more than 20 years he certainly left great memories, but there are still those who would like to see his shirts back today, in all their glory. And Hummel evidently must have listened to these requests, satisfying anyone obsessed with the jersey worn by the Danish goalkeeper in the 1992 European Championships. In fact, the brand decided to make the same pattern for the Gerdskens BK jersey, a Swedish team that plays in the lower categories.

Jerseys that are not a perfect reproduction of those worn by Peter Schmeichel in the summer of 1992, but in fact only take inspiration from them. The small difference is that the pattern made today for the Swedish team only consists of hexagons, left free in their shape. The pattern of the Danish national team, on the other hand, intertwined repeatedly, creating a truly unique motif that has obviously remained in everyone's memory, showing once again how football and design can intersect. A release that even though it was made for a team that does not enjoy an immeasurable coat of arms still attests to how nostalgia is increasingly taking hold in football. A few weeks ago Hummel presented the jerseys for the Danish national team inspired by those worn during the highest moment in their history, the surprise victory in the 1992 European Championship after being repechaged due to the dismantling of Yugoslavia. 1992 and consequently nostalgia are a constant, showing how the brand wants to return to those levels, once again becoming the thorn in the side of the big sportswear brands, as in the 1990s.
