Werder Bremen Sign Umbro Kit Deal
Mar 7, 2017, by Chris
German Bundesliga team Werder Bremen today announced that they have signed a kit deal with English sportswear manufacturer Umbro, who are replacing long-term shirt supplier Nike.
Umbro to Make Werder Bremen Kits From 2018-19
Nike will make next season's Werder jerseys as their deal with the German club is valid until June 2018.
Werder Bremen currently have a deal with US brand Nike until the end of the 2017-18 season. The Umbro partnership will come into effect at the beginning of the 2018-19 German soccer season.
According to German sport business publication Sponsors.de, the deal will see Umbro paying €3.5 million per season to Werder, an increase of €500,000 over what Nike was believed to be paying.
It is Umbro's second major kit deal in Germany as the British brand also makes the kits for 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Nürnberg since 2016.

FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.

Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
