On the left arm sleeve, felt it looked quite smart/ classy with the kit.

Tommy Brown Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Photo/image doesn't look very Maroon. Would like to see in real life. My dad bought it for me as a 10yo from Patrick Thompson's. Didn't have the logo as was a right nylon job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know about how life ends up but I'd be very, very surprised if this is true. Umbro is 100 years old this year so I can't see whoever owns them selling out to Castore (did Nike not own Umbro at one point ?) In their centenary year. Money talks though.

Jambo in Japan Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'd be surprised if we ended up with hummel kits as I think their UK distributor went into administration causing a lot of clubs to pull out of their deals. They may have found another supplier but I'm not sure. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2023/04/6-uk-teams-have-already-left-hummel-after-bankruptcy-only-3-renewed-kit-deals.html Nike did buy Umbro in 2007. I think by incorporating them it allowed them to have the biggest share of the market for football shirts and equipment over Addidas. Umbro already being a significant, established brand in the UK. I think it's what ultimately led to England shirts being made by Nike. Umbro signed with Man City as they were sold by Nike, but Nike did get the City contract after Umbro had finished. Not sure if the deals were connected however. https://www.ft.com/content/eef184f4-8137-11dc-bf46-0000779fd2ac If we've got a year left with Umbro, I imagine at this stage they've already proposed designs to the club. We'll probably be in an Umbro kit regardless of whether they're bought out or not. -IF- Castore buy them out, I have no idea what their intentions would be with the brand. Probably use it to generate an income/market hold while they sort out their own brand. They've had a good bit of bad press with the Villa women's team and printing Wolves badges upside down (), just off the top of my head. Would hate to see Hearts in a Castore kit. If we're moving away from Umbro and want a change from Addidas, I've quite liked some of the recent Errea ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
