Default Umbro

All started in a Cheshire workshop in 1924 (name is acronym of Humphreys Brothers Clothing Company).
Their debut for supply of football (soccer) kit was the F A Cup Final of 1934.
Their connections with the FA were severed in the Eighties however, in favour
of Admiral - but they came back after ten years.
Now concentrate a lot on worldwide sales of lightweight football boots.
Nike sold Umbro to the Iconic Brand Group of the USA last year - and Nike is now the official Football Association supplier.
