HSV Relies on OEKO-TEX® Certified T-Shirts
For the past ten years, the OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label has been answering questions like: Where does my clothing come from and how was it made? It stands for transparency, responsibility, and traceability along the textile supply chain. As a founding member of OEKO-TEX®, Hohenstein played a key role in developing the label.
On the tenth anniversary of OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN, German football club Hamburger SV (HSV) is also celebrating a major milestone: both the men’s and women’s teams have earned promotion to the Bundesliga. To mark the occasion, the traditional club, in collaboration with its long-standing supplier MBA Solutions GmbH, has launched special edition promotion T-shirts certified with the OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label.
“Rapidly produced success items like the promotion T-shirt should ideally meet the same standards as any other product,” says Sascha Steinbrück, Head of Merchandising at HSV. “What matters to me is that a product is manufactured with ecological and social sustainability in mind and has been tested for harmful substances.” With this promotion T-shirt, HSV once again sets a strong example for certified fan merchandise as a promise for the future.
