Hohenstein pitches into Swiss football shirt debate

23/06/2016
Research and testing body the Hohenstein Institute has joined the list of organisations with an interest in sports apparel to offer help to the Swiss national football team after Swiss players’ shirts ripped during a match against France on June 19.

Puma said it would carry out an investigation. Swiss sports brand X-Bionic said it could provide a more durable alternative shirt, made in Italy using Swiss technical yarns.

The Hohenstein Institute has also joined the debate, claiming that the Swiss Football Association and Puma could have avoided the “public embarrassment” of the torn shirts by subjecting the shirts before hand to its tests for tensile strength and tensile stretching.

It said its tests are in accordance with the ISO 13934-1 standard and could, in this instance, have helped Puma and its high-profile customer avoid “uncomfortable questions”.

We can save you from public embarrassment. Last Sunday during the European Championship match against France, the shirts of several members of the Swiss football team ripped. With the backing of Hohenstein's product testing for maximum tensile strength and maximum tensile stretching in compliance with DIN EN ISO 13934-1, you don't have to face up to uncomfortable questions.
