Wherever there is Football, there is Umbro - since 1924. Our founder Harold Humphreys believed that if you look smart, you play smart. He believed that products crafted with style and true insight gave Umbro athletes a competitive advantage. It’s a principle we still celebrate today. For this reason, the design of our collections is never just about the look, everything has been applied for a reason, blending insight and innovation with style and experience gained over many decades.
As early as the 1950s we partnered with leading sports experts to create the perfect garment and today we carry this ethos into sports culture, fusing heritage with trend, and the pitch with the street. We join forces with exciting designers to celebrate the very essence of our brand, including collaborations with Nigel Cabourn, Christopher Raeburn, Henry Holland, Aries Arise, Palace, Rowing Blazers, Patta, Supreme, Vetements and Off White – just to name a few…
The Westminster Menswear Archive, part of University of Westminster, explored Umbro’s 100 years and its influence across sportswear and global fashion in the new “Umbro 100” exhibition at the Ambika P3 in London 100 years of British sportswear and its influence on global fashion.
We used this amazing and unique environment as a platform to celebrate our 100th anniversary with friends of the brand and our partners from around the world. At the same time, we also launched Spring/Summer 2025 to our global network – a once in a lifetime opportunity to look back and forward at the same time.
A special thanks to Professor Andrew Groves, Dr Danielle Sprecher, the University of Westminster for curating this insightful exhibition. Thank you to all the guests who joined us in raising a glass to celebrate this milestone for Umbro – and finally a very big thank you to all of our partners for travelling to London and for keeping the fire burning!
The exhibition is still open to the public and worthwhile a visit:
