Modegeschiedenis
Founded in 1924 by brothers Harold and Wallace Humphreys in Wilmslow, England, the company name derives from Humphreys Brothers. Umbro gained prominence by supplying kits for major football clubs and national teams, including the 1966 World Cup-winning England squad. Beyond the pitch, the brand became a staple of British terrace culture and the 1990s Britpop movement. This transition established its role in fashion history as a pioneer of the sports-luxe and heritage streetwear trends.
