Sunderland Umbro 2011/12 Home Kit

Sunderland AFC have become the first English Premier League club to launch a 2011/12 kit. The Black Cats unveiled their Umbro 11/12 home kit on Friday via their website and Facebook page featuring modeling from players Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari and Kieran Richardson.

According to the Sunderland club site:

The new kit launches on Thursday 12 May, two days before the Black Cats’ final home game of the current campaign, against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Direct from the Tailored by Umbro collection, the kit carries the name of the club’s new main sponsors, tombola.*

Sunderland’s new home strip showcases the club’s traditional red and white stripes and black shorts but uses the clean, modern lines synonymous with Umbro’s tailored range.

The Black Cats’ classic stripes are complimented with a v-neck for 2011/12, edged in black, along with the shirt sleeves which share the same design element.

The back of the shirt features a striking design of diagonal chevrons across the shoulder area giving it a distinctive and modern look.

The black shorts are trimmed with red and Sunderland’s players will once again sport red socks which will feature two white hoops and the classic Umbro diamond logo.
