Manchester City & Umbro strike up a deal and reveal 09/10 kits
On 4th June, 2009 Umbro and Manchester City announce a ten-year brand partnership. The new City kits will go on sale on 18th July, 2009. City broke off their deal with Le Coq Sportif and revealed their new 2009/2010 kits with Umbro with the announcement.
This is not the first time Umbro will be manufacturing kits for City. Some 75 years ago, Umbro supplied kits for City when City won the 1934 FA Cup final. Today, the company and the club are trying to revive those memories and pay tribute to the 1934 win by wearing the old kits with the modern touch. From the images Umbro has revealed, it seems like they’ve come up with one of the better retro football shirts coming out this season… After all, Umbro is a subsidiary of Nike.
