Does this mean no more Umbro at all or just downsizing everything umbro?

just means they're getting rid. a sale ideally. but if not they could just spin it off as an independent company.

the key line in the statement was this

"“We also see significant potential in Jordan, Converse and Hurley, which have unique consumer relationships that complement the NIKE Brand.”

I guess they just didn't see Umbro as a unique, complementary business, given that all of its products were already covered by the Nike Football division. No real value add for Nike to sell City kits (and others) as Umbro.

While we made the cut it will be interesting to see what happens to England. Surely Nike would want to keep hold of that if possible. But then if you keep that contract you massively devalue the worth of Umbro, making it harder to sell.
