England sticks with Umbro
UK-based sportswear provider Umbro has extended its sponsorship deal with the English Football Association until 2018. The brand will continue to supply kits for all of England's 23 national teams, including the men’s and women's professional teams, disability and amateur sides and for the country’s Futsal teams.
Following the announcement, Alex Horne, FA general secretary, said: “We have a fantastic relationship with Umbro that spans almost 60 years. They are part of the fabric of English football and this significant long-term investment into our partnership demonstrates the enduring strength of the England brand.”
The company has launched a new home kit for the English national team which was designed with the help of local designer Peter Saville.
