The Toffees have been with Umbro since 2014, with a new deal now signed between Premier League club and kit supplier.
Everton have announced that they have signed a new “multi-year” deal with kit supplier Umbro.
The contract comes into force ahead of the 2019-20 season with the Toffees’ new kits to be unveiled in the summer.
Umbro has been Everton’s kit producer since 2014 and their original partnership was for five years, therefore due to expire at the end of this season.
As noted on the Toffees’ club statement regarding the new deal, the Merseyside club and Umbro share a long history of collaborating, which dates back to the 1970s.
Everton posted an article on their social media channels on Thursday:
Judging by quite a few of the responses on Twitter, it looks as though some fans were hoping for a new brand, and as such, there was some disappointment:
There were also some fans who were fairly happy with the news, however:
Everton also said Umbro has maintained a “strong track record” of working with fans and consulted with “thousands” of Everton supporters over a 15-month period as part of the design process for the current season’s kits.
The announcement comes a month after Everton confirmed an enhanced deal with global retail company Fanatics, which will make the club’s Umbro kits, training wear and merchandise, and will be available in more global territories.
