British sportswear and football equipment supplier, Umbro has linked up with leading Japanese brand ‘Children Of Discordance’ for a new capsule, bringing another sport X fashion dream to reality.

From slam jam to palace, Umbro’s recent collaborations have been setting the pace for footy-inspired streetwear. Creating a collection reminiscent of the Manchester brand’s iconic kits and warm-ups of the ‘90s and ‘00s, ‘Children Of Discordance’ went straight to the archives of Umbro. 

Arriving in earthy tones of green and brown, the brand-new capsule was designed with autumn and winter in mind. Giving the illusion of reworked vintage jerseys, stripped and spliced football kits with matching shorts create asymmetric fashion statements.

The club crest that features on jumpers, shorts and kits across the collection is a clear adaptation of Manchester United’s badge, with the ‘Children of the Discordance’ stitched in the same red and yellow as the storied club.

It was only right for Umbro to tap into the old looks of Manchester United for the new capsule as their old partnership brought some of the most decorated kits to ever grace football. A black jumper featuring the adapted crest has an oversized Umbro diamond in red stretched across the chest and arms – a reference executed so well, that you might have to do a double take if you see it on the street.

Caps, a spliced track jacket and matching bottoms are included in the next collection.

The capsule is available to purchase now at Children of the Discordance’s stockists, such as Fazeone.
