Wales 2010: Tailored by Umbro
After a gap of almost 20 years, Umbro are very excited to announce a new collaboration with one of the home nations. For two years as the team look to qualify for the 2012 UEFA European Championships, Wales will be Tailored by Umbro.
The Welsh squad will wear the new Umbro kit for the first time tonight in their friendly match against Luxemburg in Llanelli, and we’re confident that fans will be pleased with the results.
In the traditional Welsh red, the shirt features the iconic Welsh crest embroidered on the chest. The Umbro logo, in a bright yellow, is drawn from the colours featured within that national badge of honour.
Crafted from light and breathable fabric, the shirt also features a soft v-neck providing comfort, raglan sleeves made from one piece of fabric aiding articulation and a breathable mesh fabric under the arms. On the hem of the shirt, an embroidered badge unique to each team features the iconic Welsh flag complete with red dragon.
This attention to detail continues throughout the rest of the kit, with the white shorts ergonomically shaped to provide comfort throughout the whole 90 minutes. Completing the kit, the socks feature eye-catching red and white hoops, helping players to pick out a pass to their team mates on the pitch.
It all adds up to a kit that we’re sure Welsh fans and players will be proud of, and one that revives a collaboration that’s produced some classic kits in the past. Check out this match-worn Wales shirt from 1974, which we found in our archives – we think our new creation will stand the test of time just as well!

Very smart, I hope the away one which is rumoured to be white is not too plain as it will look too much like England or Swansea!

New Welsh kit looks fantastic. Can’t wait to buy it when it comes out. The 5-1 emphatic victory against Luxembourg was awesome. Bring on England next March!

HELP!!!
This will only be available in select JJB stores but they do not ship to the US.
This is a great shirt! Is it likely someone else will carry this shirt that ships to the US.
I don’t think my life will be complete without it.

i have waited years for wales for have Umbro kits again. They look at the history of teams and produce specific team results unlike Adidas and Nike’s templates where colours are just swapped. I know Umbro also have done changeable templates in the past but they were still tweaked with team specific trimmings. Long live Umbro and welcome back over the bridge!

A great new kit, glad we’ve gone back to Umbro. I eagerly look forward to the release of the away kit too. I am based in Australia and would also be very interested in arranging shipping – how can this be done if JJB don’t ship internationally? Any ideas? Cheers.

Hi folks,
The shirt will be available up to size XXL. I’ll try to get in touch with JJB about shipping the shirt around the world.

Was really impressed with the away kit during the Montenegro match. Would love to buy one, but it seems to be even harder to find than the home strip. Anyone have any idea when it will be available?

Hi,
I’d like to buy one in Canada; JJB has the shirts in their online shop, but they still don’t show any international shipping options. Any update on that front?

Thanks, Jesus, Kitbag can ship to Canada (good to know!) but they don’t stock the women’s shirt and have replied that they won’t.
Dear Umbro,
Please, help me buy your products! This search is painful.
