got an old jersey?

It's not
game over

That shirt at the back of your closet? The one that ran a marathon, scored a goal, or cheered from the sidelines? It's still got some game left.

Put your shirt back in the game
the game plan

3 simple moves.
1 big comeback.

01

Check your bench

Time to see who's been sitting on the sidelines. Dig out those old running shirts, football jerseys, event tees and forgotten sportswear. We're especially fond of shirts with a story to tell.

02

Make the handoff

Great teamwork starts with a good pass. Pack up your shirts and get in touch to arrange the handoff. We'll help you find the right way to get your gear to us.

03

Let the comeback begin

This is where the real magic happens. We take your forgotten sportswear and give it a new role, from everyday apparel to bags and accessories. Same sporting spirit. Whole new adventure.

And just like that, your shirt is back in the game.

why join the comeback?

Good gear deserves
a second season.

01

Less waste. More game.

Because a shirt's last race shouldn't mean its last chance. By keeping usable sportswear in circulation, we give existing materials a new purpose and reduce the need for brand-new fabric.

02

Every shirt has a story.

A finish line. A team. A special memory. We believe those stories deserve to keep moving, even when the original owner has moved on.

03

One of a kind. Just like you.

Every donation brings different colours, patterns and possibilities. That's why no two [RE]TUMIA™ creations are exactly alike.

final whistle? not even close.

Your old sportswear has done its part. Now it's your move.
