Brentford FC and Umbro announced a four-year partnership that will see the Sky Bet Championship side playing in Umbro kit until 2023. Umbro has come on board as Brentford’s main kit supplier in a relationship that will include the Brentford’s last season at their 115-year-old Griffin Park home and the first years in the new Brentford Community Stadium, set to open in the summer of 2020.
Brentford have partnered with Umbro, known for its double diamond logo, after a six-year term with adidas and players and fans will be dressed in the Umbro double diamond from the 2019/20 season – when they will be saying Farewell Griffin Park. The Manchester-based company currently supplies kit and training wear to more than 150 professional teams around the world, including AFC Bournemouth, Everton and West Ham United from the Premier League.

It’s an exciting time to be working with this ambitious west London club. It’s an historic time and we are here to help in any way we can.
