No More Macron: Arminia Bielefeld to Sign Umbro Kit Deal

German club Arminia Bielefeld looks set to switch kit suppliers, ending their partnership with Macron.

According to unofficial reports circulating in fan forums and social media, iconic brand Umbro is poised to take over as the club's kit manufacturer starting from the 2025-26 season.

Macron has been producing Arminia Bielefeld's kits since 2020, when they took over from Joma.

Multiple unofficial sources suggest that Umbro will replace Macron as Arminia Bielefeld's technical sponsor from the 2025-2026 season onwards. While official confirmation is still pending, the rumors have gained traction among the club's fanbase.

This potential deal marks a significant move for Umbro in the German market. The English-founded brand, part of the US-based Iconix Brand Group since 2012, previously outfitted notable German clubs like Werder Bremen and Dynamo Dresden but currently lacks a presence in the top tiers of German football. A partnership with Arminia Bielefeld would signal a renewed focus on the country.

The timing of this rumored switch comes during an eventful period for Arminia Bielefeld. The club recently secured a spot in the DFB Pokal final, where they are set to face VfB Stuttgart. Additionally, they recently launched a special limited-edition 120th-anniversary kit, which proved highly popular and sold out rapidly.
