Kit Deal Cancelled: Sheffield Wednesday to Leave Macron for Umbro
May 14, 2026, by Chris
- Kit Deal Termination: Sheffield Wednesday has ended its kit deal with Macron following a club takeover, which allows them to pursue a new supplier.
- Umbro Reunion: Umbro is expected to become Sheffield Wednesday's new kit manufacturer, marking a nostalgic return after previously supplying kits during a successful period from 1984 to 1993.
- Anticipated Announcement: An official announcement about the partnership with Umbro is expected soon, with Macron merchandise already being removed from the club store.
Sheffield Wednesday are set for a major change in their technical sponsorship ahead of the upcoming League One campaign following a recent club takeover. Under the new ownership of US consortium Arise Capital Partners, the Owls have reportedly terminated their existing kit deal with Macron. The Italian brand had supplied Wednesday's kits since 2021, but the club's recent administration process allowed the new ownership to legally exit the long-term contract, paving the way for a brand new supplier next season.
Umbro to Make Sheffield Wednesday 26-27 Kits
Following the cancellation of the Macron deal, the Sheffield Star reports that Umbro is heavily favored to become Sheffield Wednesday's new kit manufacturer. This switch would represent a significant and nostalgic reunion for the club and the Double Diamond brand. Umbro previously supplied the Owls' kits during a highly successful period from 1984 until 1993, an era that most notably included the famous 1991 League Cup victory and produced some of the most iconic shirts in the club's extensive history.
With Macron merchandise already being removed from the official club store, an official announcement regarding the new manufacturing partnership is expected to arrive in the near future. The return of Umbro is sure to excite supporters who fondly remember the classic late 1980s and early 1990s aesthetics as the club undergoes a vast rebuild both on and off the pitch.
