Nike to replace Umbro for England football kit
03/09/2012
Umbro has supplied the team since the 1950s, apart from between 1974 and 1988 when UK-based Admiral Sportswear took over the contract.
Nike is expected to launch a new away kit next spring, even though Umbro’s £20 million-a-year deal officially runs to 2018.
UK-based Umbro, a subsidiary of Nike, has lost a number of big contracts recently, including Manchester City’s kit, also to Nike, which was worth £6 million.
Nike announced it was putting Umbro up for sale in May to focus on its namesake brand, as well as Hurley, Converse and Jordan.
