Under Armour has unveiled new Tottenham Hotspur performance and apparel ranges for the 2012-13 season. This is the sportswear company’s first kit supply agreement with a Barclays Premier League football team and represents its largest team sponsorship to date.

The base textile of the shirts is made from razor-thin Under Armour HeatGear stretch woven fabric, which helps to keep players drier and promotes freedom of movement, moisture management and breathability. The shirts are equipped with side mesh panel insets and a ventilated back yoke to increase breathability.

Technical innovations have also been incorporated in the team’s training apparel ranges. In the warm months, Tottenham Hotspur will feature HeatGear shortsleeve training t-shirts and training shorts and, as the season progresses, players will wear mid-layer tops featuring the brand’s AllSeasonGear technology. During the winter months, ColdGear and Under Armour Storm fabrics will help keep players warm and dry.

Commenting on the kit launch, Daniel Levy, chairman at Tottenham Hotspur, said: "With the club about to move into a new state-of-the-art training centre, the launch of this partnership with Under Armour comes at a very exciting time for us.

"Not only are they one of the most exciting brands in world sport, but Under Armour also has a reputation for performance and technical excellence and this is demonstrated by the fantastic kit they have designed for this coming season."

Kevin Plank, founder and CEO at Under Armour, said: "Tottenham has a tremendous heritage and a passion for winning that makes them the perfect match for our brand.

"This partnership will introduce millions of football fans around the world to our innovative performance apparel, footwear and accessories that are designed to help all athletes perform better."
