Umbro is thought to have agreed to a deal with West Ham to remain their kit technical partner next season. In 2023 West Ham and Umbro announced another multi-year extension worth £7m and the new deal is expected to extend their relationship at an increased annual deal.
West Ham United and Umbro have been partners since 2015, the global sportswear company became the Club’s Official Technical Partner, producing all official West Ham United playing kits, for both the men’s and women’s first teams and all Academy age-groups, as well as training products and leisurewear for players and supporters.
Umbro have a long-standing association with West Ham, having produced the Club’s first ever replica kits for sale to supporters during the 1960s, when they also famously designed the England kits worn by West Ham’s World Cup-winning heroes in 1966. Umbro were West Ham’s official kit suppliers from 2007-10.
West Ham is thought to have reviewed the market by talking to the other major manufacturers in the Premier League, including Adidas, Castore, Nike, Puma, and Macron, but both UMbro and West Ham were willing to continue their decade-long partnership.
