YASSA (Serbo-Croatian: Jugoslavenski asortiman sportskih artikala; Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Југословенски асортиман спортских артикала; English: Yugoslav Assortment of Sport Articles) was a Yugoslav sportswear and sports equipment brand, manufactured by Varaždinska industrija svile, a textile company based in Varaždin, SR Croatia. The company was first created in 1929, and a new production facility was created in 1957, when the company was called Varaždinska industrija svile, konfekcije i kišobrana. With the YASSA brand they became one the largest sportswear manufacturers in SFR Yugoslavia. The company was renamed to Vis Konfekcija in 1995.[1]

YASSA was the partner of Yugoslav participants during various Olympic Games, and its name appeared at numerous domestic and international sporting events such as: the Olympic Games in Montreal, Moscow, Lake Placid, Sarajevo, Seoul, and the Mediterranean Games in Split.[2]

The author of the company's logo and visual identity, created in 1974, is Boris Ljubičić.[3]

The Yassa brand was featured as one of the most recognizable Yugoslav brands in an art exhibition called Yugo.Logo, organized in 2023 in Zagreb by the Croatian Designer Society.[4]
