Kunihiro Shimizu Player Retirement Commemorative
GORI LAST MATCH Supported by Keihan
Uniform Design Decided!
Updated August 20, 2026
Thank you very much for your continued support of OSAKA BLUTEON.
We have decided on the uniforms to be worn at the "Kunihiro Shimizu Player Retirement Commemorative GORI LAST MATCH Supported by Keihan," which will be held at Panasonic Arena on Saturday, August 8, 2026.
These uniforms are made by "TRES," a sports apparel brand for which Player Shimizu serves as an official ambassador. Player Shimizu also participated in the design process, resulting in a special piece filled with his thoughts.
Uniform Design
- *Player Shimizu is scheduled to wear two types of uniforms on the day.
- *Please note that the actual product color may look different depending on your monitor settings.
- *The design is an image and may differ from the actual product. Thank you for your understanding.
Design Concept
Base color
We have adopted the "blue" that symbolizes the Panthers/Bluteon club and the "red" that symbolizes the Japan national team. Since Shimizu-senshu served as captain for the Japan national team, we have incorporated an underscore on the captain's mark.
Leopard print x GOPPOSITE logo
The leopard print is expressed through a combination of GOPPOSITE logos, representing the "teammates" that Shimizu-senshu cherishes.
- *GOPPOSITE: Named by combining "Opposite," which is Shimizu's position, and "GORI," which is Shimizu's nickname.
18 claw marks
As proof of his 18 seasons of competition, 18 claw marks have been designed into the uniform. By making them thicker toward the left shoulder, we express the history of injuries and the accumulation of overcoming them.
Left shoulder color scheme (expression of the feelings "carried on one's back")
"When I am with the Japan national team, I carry the Panthers on my back. When I am with the Panthers, I carry the Japan national team on my back."
This sentiment is incorporated into the color scheme of the left shoulder.
Left-side dot gradation
To represent everyone who has been involved, a dot-gradient style design has been adopted only on the left side.
Left cuff "2009" "2026"
The year 2009, when he joined the Panthers, and 2026, the year of his retirement from the Bluteon, are inscribed.
Patch-style design on the left hem
To ensure the retirement match remains in both records and memories, a patch-style design has been added to the front left hem.
Back design
Shimizu-senshu's iconic, beautiful jumping form is used as a motif. At the tip of his right hand, the design incorporates his feelings toward being "number one" and the "Japanese flag."
