Wow, we thought it’d be a quiet time here at Umbro, but with the Caption Competition, the Christmas Giveaway and the final of A Decade Of Kits, it’s been one of our busiest weeks ever!

First things first, thanks for all your contributions to the Caption Competition – we got around 60 in total, which was terrific. We were very impressed with some of the ideas you lot came up with, and we were also very impressed at just how bad some of your puns were! We picked out our two favourites, from Daniel Langhorn and Tim Sinclair, who have both won a pair of Umbro Speciali boots signed by Michael Owen. Their efforts were…

‘Their ‘tackles’ were coming up decidedly short following a cold snap….’

and…

“Some people are on the pitch … they think it’s all over … it is SNOW!”

Make of those what you will!

Second of all, thanks to all your entries into yesterday’s Christmas Give Away. We picked out three favourites for the final round of entries – Dale Henderson’s tale of Bradford’s play off glory, Laura Gibbon’s 2-themed story about her call-up to the England squad, and James Perkins’ unusual take on the number 2. They’ve each picked their prizes from the bulging Umbro goodie bag, and I’m afraid to say that the rest of the prizes are being put back into our high security storage facility.

Finally, we’d just like to say Merry Christmas to everyone, and we hope that there’s some football played in this weather!
