Umbro adds Gremio to Brazilian portfolio

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A football club Gremio has agreed a kit supplier deal with UK sportswear manufacturer Umbro.

The agreement is effective from the 2015 season, but terms of the contract between Umbro and the Porto Alegre club were not disclosed.

Gremio joins Umbro’s significant Brazilian football portfolio, with the brand already making kits for its top-flight counterparts Vasco de Gama, Atlético-PR, Chapecoense and newly promoted Joinville.

In 2014, Gremio secured a seventh-place finish in Série A to qualify for the second round of the Copa Sudamericana continental club competition.
