Umbro are kings of English football nostalgia

Umbro are testament to carving out your niche. The storied British brand may have lost ground to sportswear powerhouses like Nike and adidas in the modern era - a result of limited finances and a hostile market - but they remain undefeated as purveyors of pure English football nostalgia. Their new 'Home' collection for spring/summer 2026 is another reflection of that fact.

Leeds earned widespread praise for their free-flowing brand of football along the way, with key players such as Patrick Bamford, Ben White, Kalvin Phillips and Stuart Dallas all becoming modern-day icons in the eyes of supporters.

Frequently asked questions

Egypt are the team who have won the most AFCON titles in history, with seven to their name. It was in 1957, the inaugural edition of AFCON, where Egypt attained glory.
