Derby County Extend Umbro Kit Deal
Jun 12, 2017, by Chris
Derby County today announced that it has extended its relationship with Umbro. The new agreement will see Umbro produce Derby's kits until the end of the 2021-22 season.
Umbro to Make Derby County Kits Until At Least 2021-22
Derby County 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.
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."
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."
The new Derby County 2017-18 home, away and third kits for the upcoming Sky Bet Championship season will be revealed 'in the near future'.
Real Madrid 26-27 Away Pre-Match Shirt Released
Alongside the away kit, Real Madrid have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 away pre-match jersey.
The new Real Madrid 26-27 away pre-match shirt features a predominantly pink main color with dark green raglan sleeves, a color combination inspired by the club's home and away kits.
The new Adidas Real Madrid 26-27 away pre-match shirt is available from 23 July, alongside the official launch of the club's 26-27 away kit.
Hellas Verona 26-27 Away Kit Released
Hellas Verona and Joma have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. The release is accompanied by the slogan "Sopra tutto Verona" (Above all Verona), highlighting the strong connection between the team and its home city.
The Joma Hellas Verona 26-27 away jersey reverses the traditional home colors, featuring yellow as the primary base with contrasting blue accents on the collar and cuffs. The standout element of the design is a bespoke front graphic pattern that depicts a bird's-eye view of Verona's urban layout and streets. This print maps the city directly onto the shirt, emphasizing the club's local identity. The team crest is applied as a thermosealed silicone badge, while the fabric features a jacquard finish for added texture.
Yellow shorts and socks complete the new Hellas Verona 26-27 away strip.
FC Südtirol 26-27 Home Kit Released
Italian Serie B club FC Südtirol has officially released its new 26-27 home kit. Made by technical sponsor Erreà, the jersey celebrates the deep connection between the team, its supporters, and the local region while bringing back a beloved design from the club's recent history.
The Erreà FC Südtirol 26-27 home shirt takes direct inspiration from the iconic kit worn by the team between 2013 and 2017. It features a clean white base highlighted by an asymmetrical, dynamic pattern of red rhombuses crossing the front. These geometric shapes, derived from the club's crest, rise from the bottom toward the center of the shirt, while a delicate faded gray texture fills the spaces in between. Two additional red rhombuses decorate the right sleeve to complete the modern reinterpretation of the classic look.
Complementing the bespoke design, the official club crest sits on the left chest, with the team's name featured in red on the back of the collar over a faded gray panel. Inside the collar, a custom red sweatband repeats the FC Südtirol text in white to round off the refined details of the new kit.
Pisa 26-27 Home Kit Released
Italian side Pisa Sporting Club have officially unveiled their new 26-27 home kit. Made by Adidas, the jersey will be worn during the upcoming Serie B campaign and introduces a traditional design with a notable historical modification.
The Adidas Pisa 26-27 home shirt brings back the classic Nerazzurro look, featuring the traditional black and blue vertical stripes running across the entire body. The standout element of the new design is the crest; the standard club badge has been replaced by the historical Pisa Cross, or Croce Pisana, set on a red shield. This special emblem will serve as the primary logo for the entirety of the season.
Red linear accents frame the kit, complementing the prominent red cross on the left chest. The standard Adidas logo and shoulder stripes are prominently featured, while Cetilar continues its partnership as the main front-of-shirt sponsor.
