Hockey India extends kit partnership

The Hockey India governing body has extended a partnership with sportswear manufacturer Shiv Naresh for three years, from 2015 to 2017.

Shiv Naresh will continue to serve as the official apparel provider and kit partner of the India national team and the domestic Hockey India League.

The company, which became a partner of Hockey India in 2013, will also provide training kits and equipment as well as clothing for league officials, umpires and other staff.

“Having actively participating in various sports and having provided their specially-designed uniforms for the athletes, Shiv Naresh is a brand that needs no introduction in the sports industry,” Hockey India secretary general Narinder Batra said. “I am delighted to see that the year gone by has proven to be really positive for both Hockey India and Shiv Naresh.”
