They came over on ships. Whole families, one suitcase each, a country behind them and an ocean in the way. They brought what they could carry. A language. Traditions. A way of making coffee. And of course the game. Football didn't get left at the dock. It got played on new grounds, in a new country, and it got passed down the way everything else did. From Papou to father to son. From the horio to the backyard kipo. From Greece to suburbs that slowly started to feel like home. That's who the Hellas jersey is for. Not a costume. A kit. Worn by the generation that arrived, the one born here, and the one still to come. Same shirt. Same story. This is Home Away From Home, Part 2: Greece. The Hellas jersey is online now.

Red and white. The checks. One look and you know exactly who someone is, and where they're from. Croatians brought the pattern with them. Across the water, into new cities, onto grounds that had never seen it. They put it on a shirt and built clubs around it. Clubs like Melbourne Knights. Somewhere to speak the language, hear the songs, and watch your kids grow up in the same colours you did. Not just a team. A home. That's what this kit carries. The coast and the club. The old country and the new suburb. The grandfather who arrived and the grandkid born here, both in the same red and white. Some things you don't leave behind. You wear them.   This is Home Away From Home, Part 1: Croatia. The kit is online now.

Football culture lives far beyond the ninety minutes. In clubrooms, car parks, side streets and local grounds. Umbro’s new Home collection celebrates those spaces and the communities built around them. Shot at Ashton FC in Greater Manchester, the campaign centres around a fictional grassroots football club and the everyday moments surrounding the game. Familiar scenes. Faded paint. Plastic chairs. Post-match conversations. Real football culture without performance or polish. The collection draws heavily from Umbro’s 90s and 00s design archive. The Harrington Jacket nods to touchline icons with football-inspired shoulder panelling, while the football shirts and woven shorts reinterpret classic Umbro silhouettes through a more contemporary lens. Elsewhere, pieces like the Boxy Shirt and Washed Drill Pants blend sportswear construction with casual tailoring and oversized branding. Across the campaign and collection, the focus stays on the rituals around the game. The people who arrive early, stay late and make the club what it is. A version of football culture built on community, familiarity and shared experience. Umbro’s Home SS26 collection launches 3 March online.

Umbro teamed up with Into Carry for a series of upcycling workshops held in Melbourne, transforming deadstock football kits into handmade carry bags. Built around archived Umbro jerseys that had elapsed in season, the workshops gave participants the chance to learn how to deconstruct and sew old kits into functional everyday pieces. Each bag was made by hand using existing materials, meaning every outcome ended up different. The project ran across two sessions on February 28. The first opened to the public through a giveaway, with five winners invited into the workshop alongside a plus one. A second session brought together friends, family and local creatives inside the studio space. More than just a workshop, the project created an opportunity for Umbro to connect more directly with its local community through a shared hands-on experience. Guided by the Into Carry team, participants worked through the full process from cutting patterns and breaking down garments through to sewing and reconstruction. Some arrived with sewing experience, others were using a machine for the first time. What started as outdated teamwear was reworked into something completely different. Old shirts, panels and trims repurposed into one-off bags designed to keep being used. The workshops focused on learning new skills, extending the lifespan of existing materials and exploring a more hands-on approach to football apparel through upcycling and reconstruction.
