Hummel International Sport & Leisure A/S,
The company was founded in 1923 by Albert Messmer and his brother Michael Ludwig Messmer under the name "Messmer & Co" in Hamburg, Germany; that same year, the Messmer brothers introduced the first football boots to the world.[4] Hummel became Danish after being taken over by Bernhard Weckenbrock in 1956, who moved its base to Kevelaer, North Rhine-Westphalia. Since 1999, Hummel has been a part of the Danish Thornico Group founded by Christian and Thor Stadil.[1]
Being one of the oldest sportswear brands in the business with roots in football and handball, Hummel has previously been worn by football teams such as Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Benfica and the Danish national team.
Historical logo
The Hummel logo is a stylized bumblebee, as Hummel is German for "bumblebee".
