Kilmarnock announce 'club record' Hummel kit deal as Rugby Park side ditch Nike from 2020/21

Kilmarnock have announced a 'club record' kit deal with manufacturer Hummel.

The Rugby Park side had been on the lookout for a new supplier as their deal with Nike expires in the summer, and after a 'rigorous selection process' it is Hummel who have won the race,

The brand have supplied kits and training gear for Rangers for the past two seasons, but the Ibrox side are on the lookout for a replacement as disputes with Sports Direct and Mike Ashley rumble on.

Kilmarnock say the brand will produce bespoke kits as well as a range of training gear beginning in 2020/21 through to the end of the 2022/23 season.

Kilmarnock director Phyllis McLeish said: “The kits are very tasteful, embracing the Hummel chevrons as well as featuring our new title sponsor, Brownings the Bakers for the first time, making this an even more special partnership.

“The club would like to thank JustSport and Nike for their continued support over the past four seasons and look forward to ushering in a new era with Hummel bespoke kits, which we are sure our fans will love.”

Hummel managing director Mark Underwood said: “We are extremely excited to have been chosen to partner with the Scottish Premiership ’s oldest professional club and look forward to watching our partnership flourish with Kilmarnock FC.

“As a business, our philosophy is to produce garments that embody the heartbeat of the football club and that have character and class. Over the next three years we will work extremely hard to ensure that the players, staff and most importantly the supporters wear our garments with pride.
