THE DESIGN WORK BETWEEN SLAM JAM AND UMBRO ITALIA CONTINUES WITH THE PENALTY CULTURE COLLECTION FALL WINTER 23
Since last spring-summer, Slam Jam and Umbro Italia have been continuing the path in  redefining the lifestyle codes of the brand founded in Manchester in 1924. A partnership of  research and application that Slam Jam develops alongside Umbro Italia. The theme of ‘Penalty Culture’ is reaffirmed through Slam Jam’s recognisable approach to the  commonalities between subculture and trend, resulting in a culturally relevant collection  enriched with contemporary fit and design. The Autumn/Winter 23 is the perfect uniform for a  friendship story that lives perfectly in the urban context drawing inspiration from the football  pitch: tracksuits, hoodies, scarves and British classics such as the harrington jacket. Penalty Culture is a moment of togetherness, a rollercoaster of emotions experienced in those  30 seconds between goal and error and experienced by every single spectator. Whether the  final result is a victory or a defeat, penalty shootouts allow an intimate moment to be shared in  which everyone hopes for the same thing: a victory. Precisely for this reason – and especially  after a defeat – football is a sport that allows for unity on and off the pitch. Some they win. Some they lose.
