Nike, the US sportswear group, said on Thursday that it would divest its Umbro and Cole Haan brands in an effort to focus on its core brand and other faster-growing business lines.

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

I wish I knew what this meant! :(

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.

Either means they're selling Umbro or they're dismantling it and taking all the things Umbro did to the parent company.

When are we gonna release the kits? I'm guessing we're waiting for a bit to try and sell some Champions 12 shirts from this season.

Umbro will continue to exist - they will sell the brand - it's still has good equity and remains a $250m business. Be a nice pick up for someone even minus the City revenues. Doesn't necessarily mean that they will sell all or any of the manufacturing with it - although I've no idea if or how Nike integrated that, or even if they own any at all any more.

Sheikh Mansour should get one of his family or mates to buy it and then give us a massive deal to make our shirts.

Just what I was thinking nice little sponsorship deal to help with FFP and no risk on Nike horror show shirts. Winner winner all round :)

Thoughts on the new Umbro kit for Lille?
The home shirt has that double collar thing like our home shirt this year and the away one has the same collar vneck like the supposed new maroon away kit.
