French Club RC Lens Announce Umbro Kit Deal
Mar 18, 2014, by Chris
RC Lens yesterday announced that they signed a new kit contract with the Double Diamond brand Umbro to become the shirt supplier from the 2014-2015 season. RC Lens are currently placed second in the Ligue 2 and are trying to gain promotion to play in the Ligue 1 from the 2014-15 season.
Last season's RC Lens kits were made by the German brand Adidas, while Umbro was the kit supplier of the French club in the late 1990s, when they wrote history winning the Ligue 1 title in 1998. Umbro also managed to sign a kit contract with Premier League club Everton.
RC Lens and Umbro Sign Four Years Kit Deal
Umbro and RC Lens signed a four years contract until 2018. Gervais Martel, president of RC Lens, commented:
'In the heart of all fans Umbro remains associated with the most successful club era. Our Ligue 1 championship in 1998, our success in the 1999 League Cup and our epic nights in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup. Therefore it's a pleasure to announce the partnership with Umbro for the upcoming seasons.'
Patrick Noel, the Umbro license holder for the French territory highlighted the similarities of both brands having a rich past and a promising future as well as the long experience of Umbro designing football kits. He also announced that the new RC Lens 14-15 Kits will be modern, stylish and unique.
