Umbro x Supreme SS22 Football-Inspired Lifestyle Collection
Umbro and Supreme have collaborated on a range of tracksuits for the New York based brand’s Spring Summer 22 collection. Supreme released photos on Thursday in their lookbook for the upcoming release.
The tracksuits come in four colours - black, navy, light grey and rust - all based on the same template, with each having different coloured details.
The placement of the logos follows their traditional placing on football kits - On the right side of the chest there is Umbro, on the left a badge featuring the Italian Flag topped by four stars, as well as a diagonal sash with the Roman numerals MCMXIV (1994, the year Supreme was established), while the Supreme logo takes the place usually occupied by the main sponsor. Four pairs of matching tracksuit bottoms complete the clothing part of the collection.
Two footballs will also be released, one plain white with the famous Supreme box logo, the other a camouflage design in red, blue and white. This marks the first time Supreme have released a football, despite regularly branding a host of unlikely items with their name, such as hammers, calculators, harmonicas, shovels and kayaks.
While the skate brand are known to be serial collaborators, this isn’t the first streetwear brand link-up for Umbro either, having worked with the likes of Patta, Vetements and Palace over the last decade. Although this is the first time the two brands have worked together on a project, in 2018 Supreme released a jersey based on a classic 90s Umbro design. Then in 2020, they copied an Umbro presentation jacket made for Inter in the 91/92 season.
The items will be available to buy from the Supreme online store from Thursday the 17th of February, prices have yet to be announced.
