Manchester City Football Club and Nike today announced
a new partnership that will see the sponsorship of the Club move from Umbro to
the Nike brand from the start of the 2013/14 season.
The Umbro sponsorship, which has been in place since
June 2009, will continue to the end of the 2012/13 season, after which all kit,
training wear and related products will be designed, manufactured and
distributed by Nike. The contract will run until 2019.“We’re excited by the
opportunity to further develop the relationship between City and Nike Inc,
which builds on the successful partnership the club has already enjoyed with
Umbro, and reflects both the ambitions of the club and the Nike brand’s position
within the world of football”, commented Nike Brand President, Charlie Denson.
John MacBeath, Interim Chief Executive Officer of
Manchester City Football Club added "We are delighted to have further
strengthened our relationship with the Nike family.
"Nike's deserved reputation as the leading global
sports brand, its unparalleled R&D capacity, leading global retail
distribution networks and award winning marketing capabilities mean that this
is a very important step forward in the evolution of Manchester City.”
