Knew you would beat me to this 5 year deal

EFC Article

Royal Blue Mersey thinks they will have child, baby and women kits as well.


This is the last year of the Change sponsorship deal as well. Hopefully they will get more than £4m/year this go around.

no idea how they lost their deal with the FA, Umbro and the FA have been a staple together.

Well this didn't happen.

Nike has provided firm assurances that the FA relationship with Umbro will be protected and enhanced, and we look forward to working closely with both companies moving forward.


Nike bought Umbro in 2007 and then sold to Iconix in 2012. From what I've read, Nike weren't getting the high $$ offers they wanted for the Umbro brand. So, they kept all the 'good' contracts Umbro had and just sold the name and logo that we know as Umbro.

Nike bought umbro, took all their kit deals and pro boot deals, then sold them off.

Good to see Umbro getting back into the EPL. Maybe they can also make some deals with other clubs.

I think that Michael Owen wore Umbros

He's the only one that I remember. It's like Ryan Giggs and Reebok

Michael Owen was the face of the X Boots back in the early/mid 2000's.

They haven't had many big names besides him. Joe Hart is the only big one that was recently with Umbro. Andy Carroll is still with Umbro, but he's not "big" anymore by any means.
