Over the last 100 years, Umbro has become synonymous with classic football shirts. But 2024 marks the dawn of a new era for the legendary brand — which has relaunched in Australia as a streetwear label of the highest (and hardest) order.
Fashion beyond the football pitch isn’t exactly a new concept for Umbro. As you may recall, the Manchester-born outfitters have previously collaborated with the heavy-hitting likes of Virgil Abloh’s Off-White, Vetements, Aries, Palace, as well as Supreme.
Now, Umbro’s Centenary collection is taking football x fashion to the next level. With the new collection of flashy threads now available in Australia, here are our five favourite picks for your consideration.
Reversible Ramsey Jacket
A modern take on a 1960s Umbro classic, as implied by its very name, the Reversible Ramsey Jacket gives you two distinct looks: a primary outer in monogram blue and a red/white/blue diamond graphic gradient emblazoned on the reverse.
Sunday Football Long Sleeve
This standout from the Umbro Centenary collection pays homage to the long-sleeve merchants of football’s golden era a la David Beckham in the 90s. It also draws inspiration from the kits of the 70s and 80s with a thick white cuff and retro collar, giving the vintage silhouette a 21st-century refresh.
Panelled Windbreaker
Yet again championing the red/white/blue diamond graphic gradient, the windbreaker fuses vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. A statement piece, through and through.
Linear Print Jersey
Available in blue and green, this jersey gives a simplistic yet detailed design for both on and off the pitch. The intricate Umbro text pinstripe, complemented by the flat collar and V insert, pulls an old-school look into a brand-new era.
Infilled Tape Tee
A throwback to the golden years of Umbro kits circa 1990s, complete with a logo sleeve, the tape tee is a basic wardrobe essential.
The Umbro Centenary collection will be available in selected football specialty stores all around Australia; with the full range available via the link below from May 1st, 2024.
