Castore Acquires Umbro Brand in UK, Other Key Markets

Under the agreement, Castore is the exclusive supplier of Umbro-branded team kits in several European markets, including the UK. This allows Castore to reap financial rewards from Rangers' Umbro kits while benefiting from the club's historical association with the brand, which dates back to the 1960s.

The deal also allows Umbro/Castore to re-release old Umbro kits tied to the successful eras of the Rangers wearing the brand.

Rangers Announces Umbro Kit Deal

Castore's current deal with Glasgow Rangers begins at the start of the 20-21 season and runs for five years. Umbro have been chosen to once again supply Rangers with shirts from next season.

However, it is not a real new supplier deal - Castore owns the rights for Umbro in the UK since Spring 2024, meaning that Castore will use the Umbro brand as it has a higher appeal than its own Castore brand.

Umbro have been Rangers' kit supplier twice in the past: once for a very long period (1964-1990) and again (2005-2013).
