Derby County revealed their new Umbro home kit for the upcoming 21/22 season.
The Rams’ new kit is once again produced by Umbro to create a local accent, further reinforcing the bond between club, supporters and brand,the kit includes a flash of dark blue to compliment Derby’s traditional black and white colours.
The addition of dark blue to the home kit is a tribute to the team who won the 1971/72 First Division title for the first time in the club’s history.

The Rams started that season wearing traditional black and white shirts matched with blue shorts, and then changed to white shirts with blue shorts as then manager, Brian Clough insisted that the team donned a kit that resembled the blue and white of the England national side.
Clough’s side, who were only promoted to the top-flight in 1969, went on to lift the title after a superb season.
It will be 50 years since that achievement towards the end of upcoming campaign and the club wanted to honour the 1971/72 side to mark the anniversary in the new season’s kit.
Derby County also announced that they will continue to work with Umbro as Technical Supplier until at least the end on the 2024/25 season in an extended deal.
