Macron has been producing Arminia Bielefeld's kits since 2020, when they took over from Joma.
Arminia Bielefeld x Umbro - Deal From 2025-26
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.
If confirmed, the first Arminia Bielefeld kits by Umbro would be released in the summer of 2025 ahead of the 25-26 season.
