Uhlsport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uhlsport is a manufacturer of football (primarily goalkeeper) equipment. Based in Germany and founded in 1948, the company's products include goalkeeper gloves, shin pads, footballs, training clothes, and kits.
Uhlsport's goalkeeping gloves use patented palm latex and supportframe technologies. They have also designed gloves which perform better when wet and in the rain. The gloves, though not as popular in the UK as other brands, are among the most frequently used in mainland Europe. They currently supply football kits for RCD Espanyol, PFC CSKA Sofia, AJ Auxerre, Lincoln City F.C., MSV Duisburg, Sepahan, and Jamaica. Professional players such as Hans-Jörg Butt, Francesco Toldo, Carlo Cudicini, Grégory Coupet, and Pavel Nedvěd all endorse Uhlsport products.
