Sunderland 2011-2012 Umbro Home Kit

‘Kit season’ usually occurs during the summer months during the off-season when clubs from all across the globe release their new kits for the upcoming season, so naturally, it’s a surprise that Sunderland have already launched their new home kit in the middle of March! Here is Sunderland’s Umbro 2011-2012 Home Kit.

Direct from the Tailored by Umbro collection, the kit carries the name of the club’s new main sponsors, tombola.

Sunderland’s new home strip showcases the club’s traditional red and white stripes and black shorts but uses the clean, modern lines synonymous with Umbro’s tailored range.

The Black Cats’ classic stripes are complimented with a v-neck for 2011/12, edged in black, along with the shirt sleeves which share the same design element.

The back of the shirt features a striking design of diagonal chevrons across the shoulder area giving it a distinctive and modern look.

The black shorts are trimmed with red and Sunderland’s players will once again sport red socks which will feature two white hoops and the classic Umbro diamond logo.
