But in 1924, Harold Humphreys was barely out of his teens when he started a sportswear company called Umbro. Within ten years, he was dressing Manchester City and come 1966, 85% of all British clubs would be wearing Umbro — by then, it was THE football brand.

While also serving rugby, cricket and basketball with distinction through the years, Umbro revolutionized how football kits and sportswear developed — everything has always been about making the shirt, the shorts and the socks as match fit as the players who wear them.

Decades before replica shirts became fashion accessories, it was Umbro who introduced affordable kid-sized versions of club kits, allowing children to dress just like their heroes for the first time. They knew what the fans wanted because, even as the local outfit became truly global.

Through various changes of ownership in recent decades, the distinctive double diamond logo has remained a constant. Wherever it is found, on trainers or boots, drill tops or team apparel, it guarantees quality and authenticity. Every item bearing the Umbro double diamond has been designed by people who genuinely know, and love this game!

The visionary Harold Humphreys wanted to bring a tailoring touch to sportswear to stylishly serve the practical needs of the modern, competitive athlete. From Speciali boots, the lightweight revolutionary that remains the professionals' favourite in dressing-rooms across the world, to the ground-breaking new England kit, from the playground to the training ground, Umbro remains true to that ethos.

Today, as a subsidiary of NIKE, Inc., Umbro combines its heritage in sports tailoring with modern football culture to create groundbreaking iconic football apparel, footwear, and equipment that blend performance and style.
