In the spring of 1927 Elvebakken IL was established, but after second world war they changed their name to Alta IF. The sportsclub has departments for football, handball, cross-country skiing and much more. The colors used in the original design is from their logo.



Sisu proudly supports Alta IF and 50% of the profit goes to football for children.

 1927 sweater is worked bottom up, has an a-lined shaped body and a nice i-cord edge
to finish of the neckband. I recommend doing correct measurements before you start.
