Hull City have today announced a four-year kit deal with Umbro during the first half of the match against Arsenal. The iconic English Football Brand will make the new Hull City Kits at least until 2018.
The new Hull City Umbro Kit Deal will start from the 2014-2015 season and is following their previous kit supplier Adidas, which produced the Hull City Kits from 2010. Umbro previously supplied the Hull City Tigers Kits for three season between 2007 and 2010.
Umbro Hull City 2014 Kit Deal
The new Hull City 2014 Kit Deal allows Umbro to produce the Hull City 2014-2015 Kits, which will be released this Summer. As Umbro signed a four-year-kit, they will make the Hull Kits at least until 2018.
The new Hull City Umbro Kit Deal was announced during the match against Arsenal FC. While Umbro was sold by Nike two years ago losing the most of their kit contracts, the Double Diamond brand managed to sign a new kit deal with Premier League and Champions League candidate Everton as well as the RC Lens from France.
Ehab Allam, Vice Chairman of Hull City, said: “We are thrilled to be able to announce that Umbro will be our kit supplier for at least the next four years.Umbro is a respected brand that is synonymous with football and our club. We are already well under way with the production of the 2014/2015 season's kit, which we are sure our supporters are going to love."
The kit announcement was made in the 24th minute of the match against Arsenal as Umbro was founded in 1924.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.

The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
