Umbro adds Avaí to Brazilian football portfolio

UK sportswear manufacturer Umbro has agreed a kit supplier partnership with Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A football club Avaí.

Umbro will provide Avaí’s kit for the 2017 season and replaces Italian brand Fila as the club’s apparel partner.

Umbro now holds partnerships with seven Serie A teams. The others are Atlético Paranaense, Bahia, Chapecoense, Cruzeiro, Grêmio and Vasco.

Umbro has worked with Avaí in the past, having supplied the club’s first-ever kit in 1925.
