Umbro

In 1924, after witnessing a nation fall in love with football, Humphreys Brothers Harold and Wallace took the ‘UM’ from their surname and ‘BRO’ from Brothers to form Umbro.

Based in Manchester, England, the Humphreys Brothers used their knowledge of fashion and English tailoring to create high quality ‘sportswear’.

The Humphreys believed that style was a performance advantage – if you looked smart, you played smart – a principle which remains today.
