Umbro is a seminal name in the world of sports, particularly renowned for its deep roots in football culture. Founded in 1924 by the Humphrey brothers in Wilmslow, England, the brand quickly became a global icon through its association with the English national team and major domestic clubs. Known for the iconic double-diamond logo, the brand has historically been synonymous with high-quality sports equipment and apparel.
While Umbro began as a British family-owned business, its ownership has shifted through several major transitions in the modern era. After being acquired by Nike in 2007, it was subsequently sold in 2012 to the Iconix Brand Group. Today, Umbro continues to operate as a global sportswear powerhouse, with its products manufactured across several countries in Asia, including Vietnam, Indonesia, and China, to meet international demand.
Following corporate restructuring, the brand remains under the management of Iconix (and its partners), maintaining its heritage as a specialist football brand. It continues to provide kits and boots for professional teams worldwide, blending its traditional English craftsmanship legacy with contemporary performance technology.
