Tepa Sports was created in 1952 by the brothers Paolo, Rino, and Battista Riva.[1] It grew in popularity during the 1960s, reaching 400 employees in 1970. It went bankrupt and closed down in 1985.[1][2]
The brand was mentioned in Elio e le Storie Tese's song Supergiovane (1992).[1]
In 2017, after a legal dispute, the brand was relaunched by the Riva family.[1][2]
