Roll Deep star on ‘Umbro Vs’ tour
Fans were treated to a unique experience as grime pioneers Roll Deep took part in a mini university tour, in partnership with sportswear brand Umbro. Putting in exceptional performances both on the five a side pitch and the stage.
Despite coming away with three defeats to strong Reading, Leeds and Brunel teams the band played with a high tempo, and were, in stages, unlucky not to come away with better results. Whilst the competition was fierce and tackles were flying in all over the pitch, the games were played in good spirits with a few moments of showboating from the band.
The Vs tour with Umbro was the perfect platform to get out on the road and showcase the new song, as well as their football skills! Flow Dan from Roll Deep commented:
To be fair to the university teams they were much fitter than us so were able to last the pace. We ve had a great time on the Umbro Vs tour and whilst our performances on the stage were better than on the pitch we d be well up for a rematch against the universities sometime. It was a great experience.
Designed for the small-sided version of football the new Umbro Vs range is inspired by the culture clash between 5-a-side football and futsal. Made up of striking t-shirts, jackets and footwear, the Umbro Vs range fuses style with performance - it works just as well off the pitch as it does on it.
So whether you re about to take on your mates in a game of five-a-side, or go for a drink with them afterwards, the Umbro Vs range is the perfect product. The range on sale in the UK features apparel in a black and yellow colour palette to represent Manchester, and footwear in greens and blues to reflect Sao Paulo.
