No More Castore: Rangers Announces Umbro Kit Deal
- New Kit Supplier: Umbro will replace Castore as Rangers' official kit supplier starting from the 2025-26 season.
- Castore's Umbro Ownership: Castore owns the rights to the Umbro brand in the UK, and will use it to supply Rangers with kits.
- Umbro's History with Rangers: Umbro has been Rangers' kit supplier twice before, from 1964-1990 and 2005-2013.
Update: Rangers have officially announced that Umbro will return as the team's shirt supplier from the 2025-26 season, replacing Castore.
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).
