New York Cosmos 2011 Umbro Home Shirt
It's the return of one of the World's biggest names, the New York Cosmos! A team that fizzled out 25 years ago is being brought back to life with a focus on cool, swagger and inspiration, check out their brand new football shirt from Umbro...
Umbro was a partner of The New York Cosmos during the 1970s when they were unquestionably the world's coolest club. Set to become a modern day classic and featuring the legendary New York Cosmos crest, with the unique green and yellow collar, this new home shirt is inspired by the one worn in 1977 by its star players like PelÉ.
The Cosmos were made famous in the 1970s as much for their star-studded fans off the pitch as the players on the pitch. The relaunch of the club aims to recreate the excitement around the original club where they regularly entertained A-List names in the crowd including movie stars, sports stars, pop stars, artists and politicians.
Featuring the attention to detail that comes from Umbro's tailored-by design and process, the updated Cosmos shirt oozes quality and could well be the coolest football shirt out there. Umbro have a reputation of producing classy, clean and stylish designs and the Cosmos jersey certainly lives up to that, with the green and yellow colour accents working really well with the crisp white of the shirt.
The 2011 New York Cosmos shirt is expected to cost around around £50 GBP/ $80 USD / €70 EURO / ¥6650 JPY and is available to order now. There's also a much wider range of clothing and apparel to follow including walk-out jackets, retro tees and more, which will be available from March 2011. So now you've seen the shirt, tell us what you think of the return of the Cosmos!
