But, today, the Canadian Soccer Association announced the launch of a new online store, where fans can buy jerseys, warm-up gear and other licensed products. Reps from Umbro Canada confirmed that the prices in the online store are identical to the MSRPs for the physical retailers.
Oakville Soccer Club is a fascinating case in point. Earlier this month, the club unveiled a new Red Zone, where OSC-branded Umbro gear would be made available to the paying public. The new store is located in the Pine Glen Soccer Centre, where Toronto FC does the bulk of its indoor training.
After a relationship with Adidas that lasted over a decade fell apart, Canada has come back to Umbro, and will wear the new kits when the men’s team plays Greece on Feb. 9. And, of course, the women will wear the Umbro jerseys when they play at the upcoming World Cup.
