World Hockey Stars to be Outfitted by Ural Company in Vintage Uniform Designs
In the heart of Russia, preparations for an exciting hockey event are underway. On August 30, top hockey players will gather at UGMK Arena for "The Magic Game". The event, designed by ZAL.TEAM, promises to be a spectacle, with its unique combination of style and innovation.
One of the standout features of the game sets is the clothing, developed by entrepreneur-athlete Kirill Chizhov and his COPPLIFE brand. The clothing, embedded with copper threads, boasts antibacterial properties, a result of Chizhov's collaboration with scientists from UrFU. The brand, known for its focus on combining style with the purported benefits of copper, such as antimicrobial properties and potential support for joint health, is set to offer functional fashion that enhances comfort and well-being for the players.
The hockey jerseys, leggings, and shorts for "The Magic Game" feature a design that integrates the pattern of the Ural peoples. Alexander Ponomarev, Commercial Director of ZAL.TEAM, has confirmed the integration of this distinctive element. The jerseys are made in Bordeaux and beige colours, incorporating designs previously worn by Pavel Datsyuk, one of the key players in "The Magic Game".
The jerseys also feature a collar and lacing reminiscent of past sportswear, adding a touch of nostalgia to the modern design. The socks and thermo-wear with copper thread, which have already been supplied to Roscosmos and the special military operation zone for soldiers, are also part of the game sets.
Pavel Datsyuk, an Olympic champion and two-time Stanley Cup winner, has expressed his admiration for the value of the work, the people behind it, and the difficulty of the production process of the hockey jerseys for "The Magic Game". He was presented with the equipment for the match by ZAL.TEAM on August 7, marking the official start of the countdown to the event.
Kirill Chizhov, known for his work in integrating copper threads into clothing, is leading the development and promotion of these innovative copper-infused clothes under the COPPLIFE name. His role in proposing clothing with copper thread for the game sets has undoubtedly added a unique and health-conscious dimension to the event.
Production of the game sets has already begun, with all sets planned to be ready by August 20. As the date approaches, excitement continues to build around "The Magic Game", with renowned players such as Pavel Datsyuk, Alexander Radulov, Ilya Kovalchuk, Kirill Kaprizov, Alexei Morozov, Danis Zaripov, and Maxim Afinogenov set to take to the ice at UGMK Arena.
