Building on their previous partnership, Umbro and LC23 see another reunion for Spring/Summer 2025, dropping a collection that fuses Italian bellisima with British class. And it is nothing short of a beauty.
Two iconic brands have re-united since they last came together to celebrate Umbro Speciali’s 20-year anniversary in style with an effortless crochet interpretation. LC23 team up once again with the global sportwear brand to bring a hot new look to Spring/Summer 2025. The latest project delves into a time where suits and ties thrived in football aesthetics, whether it was pre-match fits, touchline attire or award looks. It was all sharp. Umbro and LC23 have now brought that manager/player style from the 90’s to the modern day.
All the pieces bring a contemporary touch to Umbro classics, building on the foundations of looks that excelled during this era. A custom Speciali sneaker is re-imagined with a leather and suede upper, featuring a clean interchangeable tongue design. A clear stand-out of the collection is a classic beige trench coat, inspired by one of football’s most commanding figures on the touchline. It’s class and elegance make it hard not to love.
A bold knitted away shirt is impossible to not mention. Transforming a classic jersey with style choices from both brands into a perfect every-day knit. Of course, it wouldn’t be 90’s inspired without that iconic fold over tongue that just levels up every shirt it graces. Distinct patterns across the sleeves and body engulf around the LC23, which takes the positioning of a sponsor on the design.
The collection is completed with a blazer, shorts, tie, football socks, slippers, cap and shoe bag – finishing the perfect look. A true thing of a beauty for those who love style and substance.
