The Panasonic Panthers rebranded and created the new Osaka Bullteon. An important idea in the club story was “Blue to Eon” (eternal blue). This eternal blue, which also became the team’s name, was incorporated into the uniform design for the club’s first year.

The image is of the club being reflected in the light pouring in from between the clouds.

The hottest flame expresses the club’s passion to bravely take on challenges and grow into a club that leads world volleyball. The graphic is expressed in monotone and finished on a white-based shirt. The two types of uniforms indicate the direction the club is aiming for.

From the 2007/08 season, when they won their first V. Premier League Men’s Championship, to their 2018-19 V.LEAGUE DIVISION 1 MEN championship, they have been number one in Japan six times.
■Uniform with improved shoulder range of motion

volleyball, and developed a new original pattern. By making it a single piece from the front part to the armpits and sleeve ends, we have increased the range of motion of the shoulders. In addition, in order to achieve a stress-free wearing experience, the cuffs are finished with thermo-compression bonding instead of sewing, which would create seams. The club emblem in the center of the chest uses a slip lacquer transfer mark to reduce the coefficient of friction during diving. It has a presence that is not found in sublimated uniforms.

presentation held in Osaka on June 11th, said, “This year, Hummel was with me, and he was able to come up with a simple concept for the team.” When speaking, captain Shodai Yamauchi commented, “Blue is refreshing because it hasn’t been seen before.” Coach Thiri Rolland said, “It’s difficult to change a long history, but if we don’t change it, we can’t improve. The name, emblem, uniforms, etc. will also change, making this a season with a breath of fresh air. We’ll aim for the top here.” He expressed his enthusiasm for the

[OFFICIAL SITE] https://panasonic.co.jp/sports/volleyball/ ■About Hummel Danish sports brand Hummel was born in 1923, developing the world’s first spikes with studs. At the time, when people played soccer in leather shoes, studs were added to the flat soles of the shoes, which dramatically improved grip and made it possible to play in ways that were previously impossible. The brand name and logo are based on an anecdote about how a bumble bee (hummel in German), which is theoretically unable to fly due to its weight, was able to fly through repeated efforts. After 100 years of history, we are currently developing our own brand story with the mission of “Change the World Through Sport.” I continue to take on new challenges.
