Derby County are pleased to confirm that the longstanding partnership with technical kit supplier, Umbro, has been further extended.
Umbro, who are celebrating 95 years of existence this year, and Derby have had an established partnership since the 2014/15 Season and the new agreement will see the Manchester-based brand produce the Rams’ kits until the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
Umbro will continue to produce all on-pitch and training collections for Derby’s management staff and playing squad as well as sportswear for the Rams supporters, management staff and players.
Derby enjoyed the greatest era in their history to date 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 relationship over the past five seasons, the two parties will continue to work together long into the future.
Derby County’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Pearce, said: “We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with Umbro until the end of the 2023/24 Season.
“During the last five seasons we’ve been very happy with the design and quality of the products Umbro have provided for our football staff and supporters.
“The home, away and third kits for upcoming season have proved to be extremely popular with our supporters and that’s testament to the team at Umbro for the hard work that has gone in to producing such high-quality and bespoke kits for Derby County.
“We have really enjoyed working closely with Umbro over the last five years and are also excited about working with them in the future moving forward.”
Sam Lucas, Head of Sports Sponsorship at Umbro UK, said: “This was a straightforward discussion and decision for us as a brand. As well as historical relationships in the 1970s, ‘80s and early ‘90s we have enjoyed a recently strong and positive partnership with Derby County, and we are keen to keep that going.
“The sentiment, feedback and insight we have had from the club, players, staff and the Rams fans over the past five seasons has been very progressive and we look forward to maintaining, and hopefully exceeding that in the coming seasons.
“We have already seen the 2019/20 bespoke home, away and third jerseys showcased and we hope to continue to create lasting memories for the fans.”
Derby’s home, away ands third kits for the upcoming Sky Bet Championship season, as well as trainingwear, are available to buy now in-store at the DCFCMegastore at Pride Park and online at dcfcmegastore.co.uk.
