3/1 To Win
Derby County is delighted to confirm that it has extended its relationship with their official kit manufacturer Umbro.
The new agreement will see Umbro produce the Rams’ kits until the end of the 2021/22 season, in addition to promoting and advertising their brand across Pride Park Stadium.
Umbro will continue to produce all on-pitch and training products for Derby’s management staff and squad as well as sportswear for the Rams supporters, management staff and players.
Derby enjoyed the greatest era in their history wearing the famous double diamond of Umbro, claiming the First Division league titles in 1972 and 1975 - as well as reaching the semi-final of the European Cup in 1973.
The partnership was reignited in the summer of 2014 and, following a successful three-season relationship, the two parties will continue to work together long into the future.
Derby County’s Chief Operating Officer John Vicars said: “We have very much enjoyed working with Umbro during the last three seasons.
“Umbro are a leading global sports brand and we’ve been extremely happy with the quality of service, in particular the kits we’ve worn during that time, which our supporters have positively welcomed.
“With this new agreement completed, we can now look forward to continuing the excellent working relationship we have with them for five more years.”
He added: “Umbro has great links with our club history and, on top of that, we’re delighted that they are also going to be part of our future as well.”
Ewan Scott, Director at GLD Group Ltd, said: “We are very proud to renew our partnership with Derby County as their technical kit supplier for the upcoming seasons ahead.
“There is a lot of history between Umbro and the club and we hope that within this partnership period we can create some lasting memories for the fans, both on the pitch with the players wearing our product, and with the fans wearing the iconic logo.
“Our team at Umbro are always excited and energised to work with the Derby to make sure we produce the products the players and fans are proud to wear”
Umbro has been at the heart and soul of football since 1924. With more than 90 years in the game, they have experienced all the highs and the lows football has to offer, yet their commitment has never wavered.
The double diamond is worn with pride and passion the world over – from the Premier League to the Campeonato Brasileiro – and every place in-between. Umbro founder Harold Humphreys believed that style was a performance advantage – if you look smart, you play smart – a belief they retain today, combining stylish and technical kits with a professional service for all of their teams.
Derby will reveal their brand-new home, away and third kits for the upcoming Sky Bet Championship 2017/18 season in the near future.
