HTFC - UMBRO on board

Manchester based Umbro have agreed to supply playing and training kits to Huddersfield Town for the next four years!

The announcement comes after months of speculation as to who would take over the kit deal which expires this summer, with many fans keeping their fingers crossed for a good brand name.

Umbro who supply several Premier League sides along with the England national team kit is certainly a good brand and I'm sure that supporters will be happy with this signing.

The unveiling of the new home kit is planned for Saturday 7th May, when Brentford visit the Galpharm stadium, in the final game of the league one season.

Sean Jarvis, commercial director at Huddersfield Town, said:

"We had a large number of kit suppliers offer their services to us for the start of next season. The selection process has taken over 12 months and in that time we met with around 15 kit manufacturers, ranging from some small to very big brands; seeking references and investigating sales.

"We felt that Umbro`s reputation for quality will add real credence to our retail kit offerings going into next season. Their association with the England national side particularly appealed to us and their brand values very much fit our own; they have a strong, proud heritage much like ourselves and they are proud of being British. We cannot wait to get started and cultivate what promises to be a very exciting partnership for Huddersfield Town."

We certainly have upped the quality of the kit and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the new kit.

One thing for sure, the last two seasons issues with quality wont be repeated!

Well done to Sean, Dean and everyone at Huddersfield Town for securing such a good deal.
