Umbro Distances From New Linfield FC 20-21 Away Kit
On June 11 2020, Northern Ireland Football League champions Linfield F.C. released their 2020-21 away kit. It boasts a garish design with clear resemblances to the flag of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a loyalist paramilitary group. Now Umbro has released a statement regarding the kit.
Umbro Statement: Linfield FC 2020-2021 Away Kit

"At Umbro we believe in the unifying and democratic power of football," it read.
"This is why we are opposed to all forms of discrimination, discriminatory behaviour and violence.
"Kit designs are a collaborative process and this kit was based purely on guidance from the club. We apologise unreservedly for any offence we have unintentionally been party to.
"Furthermore there will be no promotion of this product on any Umbro channels."

Japanese J1 League side FC Machida Zelvia has officially released its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season.

To provide a premium contrast, metallic gold is heavily utilized for the classic Three Stripes on the shoulders, the collar and cuff trim, and the Adidas logo itself. The primary "CyberAgent" sponsor, along with secondary collarbone partners, are applied in white.
