Arminia Bielefeld x Umbro - Official Partnership
Arminia Bielefeld will be outfitted by Umbro, a brand founded in Manchester in 1924. This new agreement replaces the club's previous supplier, Macron. The partnership will see Umbro supply kits and teamwear for the licensed team, all teams at the “Akademinia” youth academy, and the women's and girls' divisions.
Umbro currently outfits over 120 top teams globally, including Premier League sides West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth, and Ipswich Town FC, as well as Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
DSC Managing Director Christoph Wortmann commented on the new partnership: “In Umbro, we have found a very experienced partner with whom we want to continue the positive trend of recent years, particularly in the area of jersey design and fan demand. Like us, Umbro shares a rich sporting history. During the tendering process, we identified many parallels and synergies that will also be reflected in future collections. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Macron for their long-standing and trusting cooperation.”
Ewan Scott, Managing Director of Umbro UK, expressed his enthusiasm: "We are proud to welcome Arminia Bielefeld to the Umbro family. The club's deep-rooted tradition, passionate fan base, and tireless fighting spirit – once again demonstrated by its recent promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga and strong performance in the DFB Cup – make Arminia a perfect partner for our brand. Together, we want to boldly shape the future – on and off the pitch."
The cooperation package includes extensive and exclusive equipment rights. While the new 2025-26 jerseys will be unveiled at a later date, Arminia Bielefeld's players and staff will already be dressed in new Umbro team clothing when training commences on Tuesday, June 24th.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
