Umbro boosts Premier League presence with Hull deal

Manchester-based sportswear brand Umbro has agreed a four-year partnership to supply kit for English Premier League football team Hull City.

Umbro manufactured Hull’s kits between 2007 and 2010 and will replace Adidas when the deal takes effect from the 2014-15 season, producing all on-pitch and training wear for the club’s men’s, women’s and academy teams.

In February, Umbro sealed a five-year agreement to return to English top flight football with Everton in 2014-15 after Manchester City switched to Nike ahead of the current campaign.

Hull was promoted back to the Premier League last season and is currently 14th in the standings with four games left to play this term. The team has also progressed to the FA Cup final, where it will meet Arsenal at Wembley on May 17.
