English top-flight soccer club West Ham United have signed a long-term extension to their kit deal with UK-based sportswear brand Umbro.
As part of the deal, Umbro will continue as the Premier League club's official technical partner, supply playing and training kits for their men’s, women’s, and youth teams, as well as provide leisurewear for players and supporters.
The financial details and terms have not been disclosed, but the previous contract, signed only in May 2019 and due to run until the end of the 2022/23 season, was reportedly worth UK£5 million (US$6.2 million) per year.
Karim Virani, West Ham’s chief commercial officer, said: “The enhanced agreement represents the club’s continued commercial strength off the pitch, which ultimately is for the benefit of things on the pitch. The new agreement places it amongst the biggest in football in this country.”

Sam Lucas, Umbro’s head of sports sponsorship in the UK, added: “This further extension is really exciting news for Umbro and we’re proud to extend our agreement with the club. Our partnership continues to be built on the synergies between our Umbro brand and West Ham United as such an iconic football club.”
Umbro has been the club’s official kit supplier since the start of the 2015/16 season.

The current Umbro kit is nice but probably the only other decent one I can think of is the 15/16 home kit. The last couple before this one were shit and I'm not a fan of our home shirts that don't have light blue sleeves, with a few notable exceptions.
Fila kits were all pretty good (homes anyway) and the home shirt between 01-03 was probably the last really good one, just a shame it's associated with us being shit and relegation.
I looked at the Castore stuff a while back and agree it looks overpriced for what it is.
