The origin of wearing jogging is superstition for the Hungarian as he told the Journal francophone de Budapest. “I have been playing jogging since 1996 in Szombathely. One day, the usual black pants for games had not been washed. I had to take a grey. We went on a series of eight or nine games without losing and we thus avoided relegation. So wherever I've been since, these pants are my lucky charm. And I'm not going to change that now. On the other hand, Kiraly is not one to embrace jogging once off the field. "For me, it's a work outfit, and I don't walk around in a work outfit during my leisure time," he told Telegram. When I happen to see people in gray jogging in the street, I really wonder how you can wear that. »

Passed through Montpellier, Nantes or Bordeaux, Bruno Pagès has worn jogging hundreds of times on the French courts. “In the hand, it protects against impacts. In shorts, the ball can hurt. This is the primary objective of these pants and, moreover, we see very few handball goals in shorts. Kiraly is like a handball goalie in shorts, in fact, it's contradictory. For the style, we will say that it is part of the decor. When we take it off, it's funny because we have very thin legs compared to our teammates, it creates a contrast and the players laugh at us. But in terms of style, I think we are more credible and that we have more presence in tracksuits... In the hand, huh. For football, it can give a bit of publicity to jogging wearers, but I think it immediately brings to mind pajamas. In the hand, we assume it, but it must be said that there are different ways to wear it…”
Julien Joinau is the president and creator of the Mercredicépermis brand, which produces pajamas for children aged 2 to 12. He appreciates Kiraly's style. “I find it really stylish, retro-vintage, a bit like we do with our collections. It's quirky, it's changing and this retro side corresponds to the current fashion trend. » Does he think that the designers of pajamas could profit from this kind of publicity? “No, because it's more jogging than pajamas anyway, sweeps Julien Joinau. Men's pajamas are made of the same material as a shirt, while the jogging worn by this goalkeeper is fleece. Me, for example, what I wear at home before sleeping is the same type of jogging as Kiraly. It's super comfortable. »
